REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS
Caution: Never make or remove any connections to the Citation 7.0 with the Master Power Switch in the “ON”
position. It is also good practice to make certain that any power amplifiers connected to the 7.0 are also
turned off when making or removing any connections. This will remove the risk of possible damage to your
speakers or other components in your system.
When making any connections to the Citation 7.0 make certain that the input plug is firmly seated in the input
jack. This will prevent intermittent connections which may interfere with performance.
1. Master Power Switch:
The Master Power Switch controls all power to the unit. “ON” is indicated by the
appearance of a red line at the top of the switch. Press the switch down towards the rear panel to turn on, push it up
towards the top of the unit to switch off. In normal use, this switch should be left on, except when making system
connections. Use this switch to turn the unit off if you will be on vacation or not using the unit for a considerable length
of time.
2. AC Power Cord Receptacle:
Connect the AC power cord supplied with the unit here. Be certain that the cord is
inserted correctly and that it is firmly seated in the connector.
3. Composite Video Inputs One - Four:
These four inputs may be used to connect standard composite video to the
7.0’s input switcher. Make certain that the audio from the input source is connected to the same input number as the
video input connection. Note that they may NOT be used if an input jack with the same number is used for “S” video.
For more information see page #xx.
4. Composite Video Inputs Five - Eight:
These four jacks may be also be used to connect composite video sources
to the unit.
5. Main Out (composite video):
This video output jack carries the video signal from the selected input source to your
video monitor. Connect this jack to an input on your monitor or projector. If you wish to remove the on screen menus
from this output, see page #x.
6. Aux Out (composite video):
This video output jack caries the video signal from the selected input to a second or
auxiliary monitor. The on screen menu displays are always present on this feed.
7. Record Output A (composite video):
This video output jack carries the video signal from the source selected for
routing to “Record A”. Connect this jack to the video input of the VCR or display monitor which will be monitoring this
output. See page #x for more information on Recording.

Record Output B (composite video):
This video output jack carries the video signal from the source selected for
routing to “Record B”. Connect this jack to the video input of the VCR or monitor you wish to receive this signal. See
page #x for more information on Recording. This jack ma also be connected to the input of a multi-room distribution
system see page #x for more information on multi-room connections.
9. “S” Video Inputs 1-4:
These four jacks may be used to connect “S” video sources to the 7.0. When handling “S”
video cables, use extra care to make certain the plug and jack are lined up properly. “S” video cables are keyed so
that they may only be inserted one way. The small “key” on the plug should be pointed toward the top of the unit
before insertion. Make certain that the audio from the input source is connected to the same input number as the video
input connection. For more information see page #xx.
NOTE: Jacks numbered One through Four may be used for either standard, composite video or “S” type
video, but not both. Do not plug a video source into an “S jack and composite input jack with the same number.
