USING THE REMOTE CONTROL
Many of the Citation 7.0’s important functions may be operated from the front panel buttons, but in general use, the
infrared wireless remote will be used to control the operation of your controller. The remote is a powerful tool, and it is
well worth taking a few minutes to familiarize yourself with it.
The remote’s buttons deliver three different levels of control: direct access functions, menu call functions and
navigational controls.
Direct Access Functions, noted on the diagram with a “D”, initiate an immediate action. When you press the button, it
will cause the controller perform a specific function. Examples of this are the volume control, surround mode selection
and input source selection.
Menu Call Functions, noted on the diagram with an “M”, bring up a menu on the front panel LCD display or the on
screen graphics system.
Once you have brought up a menu, you will control the actions of the controller using the Navigational Controls,
indicated on the diagram with an “N”. These controls change the menu levels, move the cursors and on screen
indicators, and they control the action of the controller.
1. Power (D): Pressing this button turns the unit on and off, taking it out of the “Standby” mode, or placing it back in
standby. NOTE: In order to the turn the unit on using the remote, the rear panel Master Power switch must be in the
“on” position. See page #xx for more information.
2. Surround Modes (D): Pressing any one of the 12 buttons in this section will change the surround mode of the
processor. Eight of the modes, indicated by the names printed on the button, will evoke a factory pre-set surround
mode. The four buttons labeled “Custom” will recall one of four surround modes that may be created by you or your
installer. See page #xx for information on the factory preset surround modes. See page #xx for information on Custom
surround modes.
3. Volume - (D): Pressing this button lowers the volume. Press and hold to rapidly decrease the volume. Tap it or hold
it down for a short period to decrease the volume in precise one dB increments. See page #xx for more information.
4. Mute (D): Pressing this button will silence the outputs to your power amplifiers so that you may answer the phone or
momentarily quite the unit. Pressing the button a second time will return the volume to it’s previous level. When the
controller in muted, the word “mute” will replace the volume level on the front panel display, and the word “mute” will
flash on your video screen (if connected). See page #xx for more information.
5 Volume + (D): Pressing this button increases the volume. Press and hold to rapidly increase the volume. Tap it or
hold it down for a short period to increase the volume in precise one dB increments. See page #xx for more
information.
6. Reset (D): Pressing this button returns the unit to the factory preset conditions for the current mode. See page #xx
for more information.
7. Remote Illumination (D): Pressing this button will illuminate the “Surround Modes”, “Volume”, “Mute”, “Panel
Lights”, “Sib. Filter” and “Bass Eq” buttons for a few minutes. Note that excessive use of the illumination system will
shorten the remote control’s battery life.
8. Sources (D): Pressing one of these eight buttons selects an audio or audio/video source for input to the surround
processor. See page #xx for more information.
9. System Setup (M): Pressing this button brings up the current status of the system’s global settings. Once in this
menu, press the “\/” button to select any item on the status report that you wish to change. See page #XX for more
information on the System Setup Menu.
