Quick-Start Connection and Setup
Quick-Start Instructions
Note: These are the minimum hook-up connections required to install a Citation 5.0. In order to
obtain the maximum benefit from the 5.0’s many features and to ensure correct connections,
please follow the detailed connection, setup and configuration instructions in this manual.
1. First, please make certain that ALL electronic equipment, including any amplifiers, source equipment and, of course, your Citation 5.0 are unplugged from AC power outlets. Many audio/video
devices contain automatic turn-on circuits which may be triggered during the setup process.
Disconnecting them until they are required is a good safety habit that will also reduce the possibility
of damage to your components due to unintended turn-on.
2. Using high-quality interconnect cables, connect the video, analog audio and digital audio outputs
of your source equipment to the Citation 5.0 according to the locations shown on the chart on the
next page. While the great flexibility of the 5.0 makes it possible to connect source gear in an almost
unlimited number of combinations, using these presets will simplify getting started. You may always
add additional equipment or change connection locations later, following the instructions found in
this manual. When connecting tape recorders, remember to use the “Play/Out” jacks on the recorder
for connection to the 5.0’s inputs.

3. Connect the Rec A Audio Output of the 5.0 to the “Rec/In” input of the audio recorder or VCR
that will be used to record the output of the 5.0. Connect the Rec A Video Output to the composite
video input of a VCR that will be used to record the output of the 5.0.
4. Connect the Main Composite Video Output on the 5.0 to the Video In jack on your TV monitor
or other video display device. A connection from the Main S-Video Output on the 5.0 to the
S-video input on your video display may also be made if you will use S-video sources at a later time.
5. Using high-quality audio interconnect cables, connect the Audio Outputs of the 5.0 to the
matching input connection on your amplifier. Note that the 5.0’s preset default is for Citation
or Fosgate•Audionics Dual Drive dipole surround speakers. If you are using standard surround
speakers you will need to make an adjustment at the Speaker Setup menu, as detailed on pages
32–33 of this manual.
Quick-Star t Instructions
6. Connect the Subwoofer Outputs to the line-level input of powered subwoofers, or to the amplifier that will power passive subwoofers. Note that the 5.0 is shipped for use with stereo subwoofers
as a factory default. If you are using stereo subwoofers, be certain to connect them to the Sub
Outputs
at the far side of the output jack field. If you are using only one subwoofer, connect it to
the Mono Sub jack. If one or no subwoofers are installed, please note that you will have to make an
adjustment to the Speaker Setup menu, as described on page 34 of this manual.
7. If a Citation power amplifier, or other compatible power amplifier with 12-volt turn-on trigger
circuits will be used, connect the Trig 1 Trigger jack on the 5.0 to the Trigger Input on the amplifier
using a connection cord with mono 3.5mm mini-plugs at both ends. Follow the switch setting
instructions for the amplifiers, if any, as detailed in the amplifier owner’s manual.
Important Note: To avoid unwanted hum and noise, be careful to keep audio connections, par-
ticularly those for amplifiers, separated from AC power cords. Do not coil extra lengths in either
audio interconnects or speaker cables.
8. Connect all speakers to the amplifiers in accordance with the instructions supplied by the manufacturers. Make certain that all speaker connections are made with special attention to proper polarity.
9. Install four AAA batteries in the remote. Open the battery cover on the back of the remote by
sliding the cover down and towards you. Be careful to install the batteries so that they match the
polarity (+ and –) indications inside the battery compartment.
10. Connect all devices, including the 5.0, to their AC power source.
11. Press the small On/Off button on the front panel of the 5.0 (below the large Standby button)
in until it clicks and catches. It will remain in and flush with the unit’s front panel. Note that
the word will briefly flash in blue and then go out, and a small green indicator
will illuminate.

menu will appear on the video display for a few seconds, followed by a Watch Programs or
Listen Programs listing.
• If you are using a Citation power amplifier, or another compatible amplifier connected to the
Trig 1 Trigger jack, it will receive a turn-on signal when the Watch or Listen button is pressed.
Note that with many amplifiers there will be a short, intentional delay between the turn-on signal
and when the amplifier sends signals to the speakers. This is a normal function designed to prevent
damage to your speakers.
Quick-Star t Instructions
• If you are using a conventional amplifier not controlled by the 5.0’s trigger output, turn it on at
least 10 seconds AFTER the 5.0 is turned on.
14. When the Watch or Listen Programs lists are on the screen, press the⁄or¤button on
the remote until the desired source is highlighted. Then press the Watch or Listen button again to
select that source.
15. The selected source will now be heard through your system, and an informational display will
appear at the bottom of your video display. You may adjust the volume at any time by using the
Vol – or Vol + buttons on the remote or front panel, or temporarily silence the speaker output by
pressing the Mute button. To select another source, press the Watch or Listen button and follow the
instructions in Step 14, above.
16. When you are finished with a listening session, press the Standby button on the front panel or
in the upper right corner of the remote. The front panel display and blue will go
out, and the green indicator will come back on, to remind you that the 5.0 is in the Standby mode,
ready to work again whenever you press the Watch or Listen buttons.
At this point you are “on the air!” Sit back and enjoy the best in home entertainment.
Of course, this is only the tip of the iceberg. Although you have successfully completed a minimal

System Installation
The Citation 5.0 is a powerful audio controller that combines digital signal decoding, surround
sound processing and a wide range of flexible adjustments in one easy-to-use package. Although
many aspects of the 5.0 resemble familiar audio components, the wide range of control it offers
means that some of the steps in the installation process may be a bit different from traditional
analog-only audio products. For that reason, it is important that you read the following section
carefully, even if you are familiar with audio systems.
As a safety note, it is always good practice to make certain that the 5.0 and all equipment being
installed and connected to it be turned off and unplugged from AC power sources. This prevents the
possibility of accidentally sending any audio or control signals through the system that may damage
System Installation
your equipment.
If you are not familiar with the intricacies of advanced audio system installation, we suggest that
you have your Citation dealer install and configure the 5.0. They are experts in multichannel audio
and home theater and have received special training on all Citation products. Should you wish to
install and configure the 5.0 yourself, please pay special attention to the instructions below, and
throughout this manual. Proper configuration of the 5.0’s many control options is essential for
optimal system performance.
We also recommend that you use high-quality interconnect cables when making connections to
external audio and video equipment. There are many brands of cables to choose from, and we
suggest that you consult with your dealer to select the cables that suit your needs and budget to
best preserve the quality of signals in your system.
Input Connections
Traditional audio/video products have fixed source inputs that are assigned to specific products
or sources. For example, VCRs are connected to an input marked “VCR” and CD players are
connected to an input marked “CD.” The Citation 5.0’s flexible input profile system, however, allows
you to connect inputs from a variety of digital and analog audio sources and composite or S-video
sources, and assign them to any of twelve positions. The following instructions will guide you to
making the individual connections. The actual assignment of the sources is explained in the section
of this manual covering the Program Setup starting on page 37.
For simple installations, input sources may be connected using the factory preset profile assignments
shown at the top of page 11 or in Appendix A. There are no rules that govern what you may connect
to any of the numbered inputs as long as the type of input signal matches (e.g., video sources to
video inputs, audio sources to audio inputs, coax digital to coax and optical digital to optical). To
assist in the setup of custom input source profiles, it is strongly suggested that you make a note of
your connection data on the worksheet provided in Appendix B.
