DIRECT ACCESS CONTROLS
Once the Citation 7.0 has been installed, and the initial settings entered, the unit is relatively easy to operate. Although
the menu control system is always available to make system changes, the 7.0’s remote control has been
preprogrammed with direct access controls that make it possible to make most control and operating decisions with
the touch of one button.
This section explains the operation of the unit for daily operation.
Turn On/Turn Off
These are the two most important controls on the remote, and they are the ones that will be used most frequently.
Given their importance, these controls are duplicated on the front panel of the 7.0.
During installation, the rear panel master switch should be switched “on”. This is done by pressing down on the switch
so that the red indicator line is visible at the top of the switch. (Figure #xx) Turing on the Master Power switch places
the 7.0 in a “standby” mode, which is indicated by a green LED (figure #xx) on the front panel, below the Citation
nameplate. Once switched on, the master power switch should only be turned off if the unit will be idle of an extended
period of time.
With the Master Power Switch on, the 7.0 may then be turned on pressing the “Power” button on the lower left corner
of the remote or the large round button recessed into the left side of the front panel. When the power switch is
pressed, the green “standby” LED will go out, and the Citation name will illuminate (Figure #xx).
At the same time, the front panel indicators will light up and the two line display will briefly readout information about
the internal software, followed by a brief “****PROCESSING**** indicator to tell you that the 7.0’s microprocessors are
initializing the settings stored in memory. Once the unit is in operating condition, the two line display will show the
source and mode in use, as well as the volume level. (Figure #xx)
When the 7.0 is turned on, the on screen display will briefly indicate the software revision information as well as the
Owner’s Name” as programmed to the memory. (See Page #xx) (Figure #xx)
After a brief pause, the on screen display will also show the input source and surround mode that were in use when
the unit was last turned on.
To turn the unit off, simply press “Power” on the remote, or press the front panel power switch. The displays will
extinguish, and the green Standby LED will illuminate.
Volume Control and Mute
Once the 7.0 is turned on, it will automatically establish the volume at the level programmed into the unit as the “Turn
On Volume”. This level may be changed by going to the “Options Set” menu. (Page #xx). Use of a preset power on
volume prevents damage to speakers if the volume setting used in the last listening session was too high.
Once the unit is turned on, the volume may be changed at any time by pressing the “+” and “-” buttons in the “Volume”
box on the remote. (Figure #xx). Volume may also be controlled from the front panel by pressing the “Volume -” and
“” buttons on the right side of the front panel.
When the volume level is changed at any time, a slider bar will appear on the screen, to give you a visual reference for
the volume setting. The on screen display will also show a two digit readout of the volume level, which is repeated on
the front panel display.
During a listening session it may occasionally be necessary to quickly lower the volume to answer the phone or for
some other reason. This is easily done by pressing “Mute” on either the remote or front panel.
