System Confi

guration

The next option listed is the choice of video standards. The choices, selected with either the

or

Menu Control

buttons

are

NTSC

or

NTSC + PAL

.

NTSC

(National Television Standards

Committee) is the technique used in North America, parts of South America and many Asian coun-
tries to encode color in television broadcasts, and

PAL

(Phase Alternate Line) is the system used in

Europe and most other parts of the world. If

NTSC

is chosen (the suggested choice for North

America), all video sources used with the 5.0 will be assumed to be of that standard. If

NTSC +

PAL

is chosen, an additional line will be added to each program profile.

Important Note:

Changing this setting

WILL NOT

convert video signals from one format to the

other. It only adjusts the 5.0’s internal display circuitry to operate with one standard or the other.

Your 5.0 was shipped preset for the video standard in use in your area. Do not change under
normal circumstances. If you do, and your video monitoring devices are not set to operate in the
same standard, the video display will lose color, and may become unviewable. Press the

¤

Menu

Control

button

to move to the next adjustment.

The next item on the System Options menu,

IR Mode

, determines whether the 5.0 will respond to

control signals aimed at the sensor on the front panel, via an external pickup device connected to the

IR In

jack

on the rear panel, or both.

Important Note:

Do

NOT

change this setting unless an external infrared sensor is installed, as

you may lose the ability to control the 5.0 if its front panel sensor is turned off and no external
sensor is connected. If this happens, the system will have to be reset (covered in a later section of
this manual), which will erase all user programming. (See page 59.)

Power On Vol

is the next setting that appears on the System Options menu. This setting deter-

mines the volume level to which the 5.0 returns each time it is turned on, initially set to

3

. As there

is no conventional volume-control knob to indicate the volume setting when power is off, this pre-
vents any possibility of unpleasantly loud sound (or even damage to loudspeakers) when the 5.0 is
turned on, regardless of how far the volume was advanced when it was last turned off. To adjust this
setting, play a typical audio source and use the

¤

Menu Control

button

to highlight

Power On

Vol

and the

and

Menu Control

buttons

to adjust the turn-on volume level higher or lower.

To set the volume level to which the 5.0 adjusts when the

Mute

button

∂ 7

on the remote or front

panel is pressed, press the

¤

Menu Control

button

to highlight the words

Mute Volume

, and

then use the

and

Menu Control

buttons

to select the preferred level.

While selecting “

0

” will turn off the sound completely, some users prefer to reduce the sound to a

low, but still audible, level that allows telephone conversations or other activities.

After adjusting

Mute Volume

, pressing the

¤

Menu Control

button

one more time will

highlight

Owner

. “

Owner

” is the name displayed on the on-screen display when the 5.0 is turned

on. “

Citation 5.0

” is displayed by default; you may enter your name here, up to a maximum

of 12 characters.

As described earlier in the section on naming each Program profile, press the

Menu Control

button

and note that the first letter is highlighted. By repeatedly pressing the

or

¤

Menu Control

but-

tons

, you can change the letter to any upper or lower case letter, the numerals 0–9 or a variety of

symbols. The

Menu Control

button

moves forward through the alphabet; the

¤

Menu Control

button

moves backward. (Holding either button down allows for rapid scanning.)
