Front Panel Display Indicators
Note:
When a front panel indicator is illuminated, it normally means that the function is on or engaged.
1. Two Line Display: The two line display is your window on the current status of the Citation 7.0, or it will display
information pertaining to changes to the unit’s operating parameters. In normal operation, when no change is being
made to the unit, the top line will indicate the input number, correlating to the input number on the remote control.
News to the input number is the actual input name, as assigned by you. (see page #xx for more information). The
bottom line will show the word “Volume”, and the actual volume indication on a scale of 0 to +64 db.
2. Remote Sensor: This area contains the sensor that receives command information from the Citation 7.0’s infrared
remote control. Make certain that this area is not blocked by cabinets or other objects to ensure the widest range of
remote operation.
3. Stereo: This indicator illuminates in red to remind you that the unit is in a “bypass” mode. When this light is on,
sound will appear only at the front right and left speakers. The 7.0 will then function as a high quality stereo preamp.
Press the “stereo only” button on the remote to place the unit in this mode, press any other mode to return to surround
processing, or press the button again to return to the previous mode.
4. Panorama: This indicator illuminates in green to remind you that the Panorama Effect has been engaged by
pressing the “Pan.” button on the remote control. See page #xx for more information on this mode.
5. Sib Filer: This indicator illuminates in green to remind you that the sibilance filter has been engaged by pressing the
“sib filter” button on the remote control. See page #xx for more information on this mode.
6. High-Eq: This indicator illuminates in green to remind you that the re-equalization circuit has been engaged by
pressing the “hi-eq” button on the remote control. It is automatically engaged when the unit is in the THX mode, as this
circuit is a manditory part of the THX format. See page #xx for more information on the re-equalization function.
7. Center: This indicator illuminates in green to remind you that the center channel speaker is activated. See page #xx
for more information on center channel settings.
8. Boost: This indicator illuminates in green to remind you that the center channel level will be increased by ??xx?? db
(please supply #) above the volume level set for the other speakers. See page xx for more information on Center
Boost.
9. Wide: This indicator illuminates in green to remind you that the center channel output has been set for a “wide”
sound field. See page xx for more information on center channel settings.
10. Input Level Indicators: This four step scale displays the left and right channel input level to the Citation 7.0. It is
normal for these indicators to flash on and off during operation as they react to the changing level of your program
material. If there is no action on these indicators, it is a sign that the input level needs adjusting, or that there is a fault
with your playback source. If the indicators are constantly registering at the “+10db” and “Clip” indicators, the input
level needs to be reduced. See page #xx for more information on adjusting input levels.
11. Steering Logic Display: This six position indicator gives you a visual display of where the Citation 7.0’s logic
computer is directing sound information. It is normal for these lights to flash during operation as the 7.0 reacts to
changes in the program material. See page xx for more information on the theory behind the steering logic circuitry in
your Citation 7.0.
