P ow er Control Connections The Citation 5.1 amplifier features a built-in system that will automatically turn on the amplifier when another device in the system is switched on.
If this is the only remote controlled amplifier in the system, no further connections are needed. If multiple r emote controlled amplifiers are used, connect the “R emote DC OUT” jack on one amplifier to the “Remote DC IN” on the next unit in the system.
Channel Configurations The Citation 5.1 may be used in a variety of configurations. Consult your dealer or installer for advice on which may be best for your system and listening requirements. Four-Channel Operation In multi-channel use such as a home theater system, the four channels may be allocated in a variety of ways.

I nput and B ridging Connections The R CA jacks and bridging switches on the unit’ s rear panel are used to connect your surround processor or pr eamplifier to the amplifier , as well as to select the channel configuration.
Four-Channel Operation: U sing high quality interconnect cables, connect one output of your processor to an amplifier input channel. There is no special priority as to which specific channel (i.e. left, right, center , etc.) is connected to which amplifier channel when all four channels are used individually .
T o bridge the two channels, put the switch between the two input connectors in the “Bridged ” position with the toggle switch pointing down. In this configuration, connections to the speakers receiving the normal po wer feed from the unbridged channels should be made to the connectors for Channels One and T wo in the normal fashion.
F or two-channel use, make cer tain that BO TH bridging switches are engaged by switching them down, to the “bridged ” position. In the bridged mode, the connections to your speakers should be made using only the top row of binding post connections.
