Harman Kardon CITATION 5.1, Руководство пользователя

Страница: 19 / 24

Operation
Operation of the Citation 5.1 is simple. There are no controls to adjust once the
installation is complete.
After all connections have been made to the amplifier’s inputs and speaker termi-
nals, connect the AC power cord to the socket on the rear panel. Make certain that
the master power switch on the rear panel is in the OFF position. Connect the
power cord to an AC outlet.
Note that it is not recommended that you connect multiple 5.1 Amplifiers to the
same AC power circuit unless they are used with the remote power turn on and
sequencing system. The simultaneous turn on of multiple amplifiers on the same
circuit may cause circuit breakers to trip.
Note:
Do not attempt to defeat the grounding plug on the power cord. This
will cause a safety hazard. It will also increase the chance of unwanted hum
appearing in your system. If a properly grounded AC outlet is not available,
contact your installer or a licensed electrician for assistance.
At this point you are ready for listening: First, turn on the source components and
processor in your system. It is always a good idea to turn on your amplifier LAST.
This avoids the possibility of any turn on pops or transients from other equipment
being amplified and sent to your speakers where they may cause damage. Always
start with a low volume level on your controller or preamp to avoid damage to your
speakers.
For Manual Operation:
If the unit is not being used with the automatic, remote turn on system, place the
“manual/remote” toggle switch in the “manual” position. Switch the rear panel
master power switch to the ON position. The LED below the Citation name on
the front panel will illuminate and turn blue to let you know that power is applied.
There will be a short pause between the time the power is turned on until power
is applied to the speakers. This is intentional, and it protects your speakers from
damage as the amplifier stabilizes. You may also hear a relay click as during
start-up. This is also normal.
You are now ready to enjoy the finest sonic performance available. All volume and
level adjustments are made at your preamp, controller or surround processor.
To turn the unit off, switch the rear panel master power switch to the OFF
position.
