Citation Stereo Receiver - Manual (Page 26)

Video Outputs
Important Note: During initial setup, connect your projector or monitor to the main com-
posite video output; NOT the S-video output.
This is recommended because important on-screen display information is factory-programmed to
appear at this output connection only. Later, after program profiles have been set for S-video oper-
ation (described later in the manual), these will appear at the Main S-Video Output, and your
monitor may easily be disconnected from the Main Composite Video Output and reconnected to
the Main S-Video Output connection.
Using high-quality 75 Ω video interconnect cables with coaxial-style construction, connect the Main
Composite Video Output d and/or S-Video Main Output ° to the video or S-video inputs of your
TV, projector, video monitor or other video display device or processor. The Auxiliary Composite
Video b and S-Video Auxiliary fl Outputs may be connected to a second video device on which
you wish to view or record the output of the 5.0.
Note: The 5.0’s input switching system will convert S-video inputs for display on a standard com-
posite video monitor, but it WILL NOT convert composite video signals to the S-video format. If
your system uses a mix of both standard and S-video it is easiest to make connections only to the
standard video input of a monitor, although that will remove the signal quality benefits of an “S”
connection. If both types of connections are made, it is necessary to switch your video display from
composite to “S” so that the monitor’s input matches the output of the device chosen by the 5.0.
Record Outputs
Connect the audio Record Outputs £ to the Record/In jacks of an audio or video recorder.
Connect the Record A Composite Video a and S-Video Record fi Outputs to the Record/In jacks
of a VCR or other video recording device. These jacks will duplicate the output signal of the sources
selected for listening and viewing through the main outputs of the 5.0, but the on-screen control
menus will not appear to permit “clean” recordings. Be careful not to select any recorder, whether
video or audio, as a program source while that recorder is in the record mode; a feedback loop may
be be created which could result in unpleasant sounds being generated. Should this occur, press
MUTE (or turn the volume down), and either select another program source or take the recorder
out of the record mode.
Remote Zone Outputs
The remote zone outputs of the Citation 5.0 will be fed a separate set of signals from those used in
the main listening room. They may be the same as, or different from the main room signals, and they
are selected using the remote control and the menu control system. Please note that only analog audio
sources can be selected for distribution to a remote zone. (See page 59 for complete information on
the 5.0’s multiroom capabilities.)
Connect the Remote Zone Outputs ™ to the inputs of the audio power amplifier that feeds your
multiroom system. Connect the Composite Video Remote Zone c and S-Video Remote Zone ‡
Outputs to the video devices or video distribution system that is used for remote zone viewing.
