Citation Stereo Receiver - Manual (Page 34)

• Select MAIN when conventional point-source speakers are installed. They should be connected to
the Back Channel Outputs • on the rear panel.
After selecting the surround speaker configuration, press the ¤ Menu Control button so that
Subwoofers is highlighted. Use the ‹ or › Menu Control buttons to select the specific type of
surround sound speakers installed and how they are connected from the following choices:
• Select STEREO when two subwoofers are installed and connected to the Stereo Subwoofer
Outputs ª . When this option is chosen, audio below 100Hz will be sent to these speakers from
the front left/right and/or center channels, based on the configuration settings that have been
made for those outputs.
• Select MONO when only a single subwoofer is installed and connected to the Mono Subwoofer
Output § . When this option is chosen, audio below 100Hz will be sent to these speakers from the
front left/right and/or center channels, based on the configuration settings that have been made
for those outputs.
• Select LFE ONLY when you wish to have audio below 100Hz sent to the Mono Subwoofer
Output § only when a special LFE track is detected from the playback of a Dolby Digital source.
When this option is selected, a full-range signal will be sent to any of the other speaker channels
that are configured to the
LARGE setting.
• Select NONE when no subwoofers are installed.
Note: As is the case with many of the menu settings, the speaker setup is a highly interactive
process. In order to prevent the selection of incorrect system configurations, the 5.0 automatically
prevents certain selections from being made when the result would cause possible damage to
speakers, or an unacceptable sound field. For example, the
LFE ONLY subwoofer option will only
appear when at least one of the other speaker channels is set to the LARGE setting. This assures
that low-frequency sounds will not be sent to speakers incapable of handling it, while making
certain that there is some means to reproduce low-frequency sounds through your system. When
menu items described in this manual do not appear, it does
NOT indicate a fault with the 5.0.
Rather, it means that the system’s internal safeguards have blocked an inappropriate choice.
When you have finished with the speaker type configurations, press the ¤ Menu Control button
so that Speaker Distances > is highlighted. Press the › Menu Control button to move
to the Speaker Distances menu.
Note: Whenever a “ > ” appears at the end of a menu line, this is the indication that there is an
additional sub-menu that contains the choices or option listings for the main menu line item.
At this point you should have the measurements from each of the speakers to the prime listening
position, or “sweet spot.” The information from these distances will be used by the 5.0 to automati-
cally calculate the delay times used in the various modes. Accurate data is important for optimal
system performance.
For accurate imaging, the distance from the center channel speaker to the left- and right- front
speakers should be equal. The distance between either the left-front or right-front speaker and the
prime listening position, or “sweet spot” should be identical.
When the Speaker Distances menu (Figure OSD-5) appears, press the ¤ Menu Control button
once so that the Front L/R Spkr is highlighted. Use the ‹ or › Menu Control buttons to
enter the distance between either the front-left or front-right speaker and the prime listening position.
