FRONT PANEL DISPLAY AND CONTROLS
Note: This section is meant to be used in conjunction with a photo or line art of the front panel. There should be
callouts to each button or indicator which will correlate to the description.
Front Panel Controls
1. Power Switch: This is an electronic “soft” switch which will take the unit form the ”stand-by” mode to a full “on”
condition. In order for this switch to be operational, the master power switch on the rear panel must be in the “on”
position. Push the bottom once to turn the unit on, push it again to turn the unit off. This function may also be
performed using the “power” button on the remote control.
2. Stand By and Power Indicators: This light is illuminated when the unit is plugged in and turned on at the master
power switch to indicate that it is in the standby mode. When power the unit is turned “on”, the green indicator will go
out, and the word “Citation” will illuminate.

a lowering in volume by moving the bar graph to the left and a lowering in the absolute volume reading. To quickly
lower the volume, press and hold the “-” button on the remote control.

NOTE: When some of the front panel controls are used, there may be a slight delay in completing the selected
action. This is a normal indication that the 7.0’s internal computer is processing the new settings. A
“****PROCESSING*****” or *****BUSY***** indication will show briefly on the bottom line of the unit’s front
panel display to alert you to this.
