Harman Kardon CITATION 7.1 Owners Manual - Page 18

Operation

Operation

of

the

Citation

7.1

is

simple.

There

are

no

controls

to

adjust

once

the

installation

is

complete.

After

all

connections

have

been

made

to

the

amplifier's

inputs

and

speaker

termi-

nals,

connect

the

AC

power

cord

to

the

socket

on

the

rear

panel.

Make

certain

that

the

master

power

switch

on

the

rear

panel

is

in

the

OFF

position.

Connect

the

power

cord

to

an

AC

outlet.

Note

that

it

is

not

recommended

that

you

connect

multiple

7.1

Amplifiers

to

the

same

AC

power

circuit

unless

they

are

used

with

the

remote

power

turn

on

and

sequencing

system.

The

simultaneous

turn

on

of

multiple

amplifiers

on

the

same

circuit

may

cause

circuit

breakers

to

trip.

---,

I

Note:

Do

not

attempt

to

defeat

the

grounding

plug

on

the

power

cord.

This

will

cause

a

safety

hazard.

It

will

also

increase

the

chance

of

unwanted

hum

appearing

in

your

system.

If

a

properly

grounded

AC

outlet

is

not

available,

contact

your

installer

or

a

licensed

electrician

for

assistance.

At

this

point

you

are

ready

for

listening:

First,

turn

on

the

source

components

and

processor

in

your

system.

It

is

always

a

good

idea

to

turn

on

your

amplifier

LAST.

This

avoids

the

possibility

of

any

turn

on

pops

or

transients

from

other

equipment

being

amplified

and

sent

to

your

speakers

where

they

may

cause

damage.

Always

start

with

a

low

volume

level

on

your

controller

or

preamp

to

avoid

damage

to

your

speakers.

For

Manual

Operation:

If

the

unit

is

not

being

used

with

the

automatic,

remote

turn

on

system,

place

the

"manual/remote"

toggle

switch

in

the

"manual"

position.

Switch

the

rear

panel

master

power

switch

to

the

ON

position.

The

LED

below

the

Citation

name

on

the

front

panel

will

illuminate

and

turn

blue

to

let

you

know

that

power

is

applied.

There

will

be

a

short

pause

between

the

time

the

power

is

turned

on

until

power

is

applied

to

the

speakers.

This

is

intentional,

and

it

protects

your

speakers

from

damage

as

the

amplifier

stabilizes.

You

may

also

hear

a

relay

click

as

during

start-up.

This

is

also

normal.

You

are

now

ready

to

enjoy

the

fi

nest

sonic

performance

available.

All

volume

and

level

adjustments

are

made

at

your

preamp,

controller

or

surround

processor.

To

turn

the

unit

off,

switch

the

rear

panel

master

power

switch

to

the

OFF

position.
