The

Citation

and

have

exceptional

capabilities

as

mono

amplifiers,

either

in

pairs

(dual

mono)

or

for

use

with

a

single

8

-ohm

subwoofer.

Mono

Ope ra

t

i

on

Operation

in

this

mode

differs

from

stereo

in

four

impor-

tant

ways.

1.

The

Bridged

-Mono

switch

is

set

to

the

ON

position.

2.

The

Speaker

Operating

Mode

switch

is

set

to

the

4

-ohm

set-

ting

(even

though

mono

operation

should

only

be

with

8

-16

-ohm

loads).

3.

Input

signal

is

received

only

through

the

LEFT

input

socket.

4.

The

single

set

of

speaker

conductors

are

connected

to

the

LEFT

and

RIGHT

(positive/red)

output

termi-

nals.

In

this

special

case,

the

LEFT

terminal

acts

as

positive

and

the

RIGHT

terminal

acts

as

ground.

Make

sure

that

the

Indicator

button

on

the

far

right

amplifier

front

panel

is

set

to

the

"4

-ohm

or

8

-ohm

mono"

setting.

Mul

It

is

possible

to

add

extension

speakers,

for

use

in

another

part

of

your

home,

or

for

matrix

surround

sound

—if

the

total

impedance

of

both

speaker

pairs

is

no

less

than

4

ohms.

Total

impedance

(Z)

of

such

as

system

is

calculated

with

the

following

formula:

Z

—

R1

X

R2

RI

+

R2

Where

R1

and

R2

are

the

individual

impedances

of

the

two

speaker

systems.

If

you

have

followed

the

suggestions

in

this

manual

and

are

reasonably

sure

that

your

power

amplifier

requires

ser-

vice,

call

the

Harman

Kardon

dealer

from

which

you

purchased

your

Citation

22

or

24.

It

is

important

that

service

be

carried

out

only

by

a

designated

Harman

Service

agent

to

insure

both

proper

service

and

to

rs in Parallel

Therefore,

two

sets

of

8

-ohm

speakers

in

parallel

repre-

sents

a

4

-ohm

total

load,

well

within

the

operating

parameters

of

your

Amplifier,

providing

you

adjust

the

Speaker

Operating

Mode

switch

to

the

4

-ohm

setting.

However,

two

sets

of

4

-ohm

speakers

is

a

2

-ohm

load

and

is

not

recommended.

If

you

have

any

questions,

consult

before
