FIXED

OUTPUT

(L&R)

These

receptacles

provide

the

full

output

of

your

tuner

and

are

NOT

controlled

by

the

GAIN

CONTROLS.

They

should

be

connected

to

either

your

preamplifier

or

to

a

tape

recorder.

They

should

NEVER

be

connected

directly

to

a

basic

amplifier.

TO

QUAD

DECODER

The

Citation

Fifteen

anticipates

the

further

development

and

standardization

of

four

channel

FM

broadcasting.

The

tuner

provides

an

output

receptacle

to

connect

FM

four

channel

signals

to

a

decoding

device

suitable

for

any

anticipated

quadriphonic

broadcast

system.

TAPE

OUT

The

front

panel

receptacle

is

identical

to

the

FIXED

OUTPUT

located

on

the

rear

panel.

It

has

been

located

on

the

front

panel

as

well

to

provide

instant

accessibility

for

temporary

connection

to

a

tape

recorder.

DOLBY

NR

Your

tuner

is

provided

with

Dolby

In

and

Out

receptacles.

These

may

be

used

when

you

wish

to

listen

to

an

FM

broadcast

which

has

been

processed

with

the

Dolby

system.

Connect

the

two

(2)

Dolby

OUT

receptacles

to

the

input

of

your

external

Dolby

processor

and

the

two

(2)

Dolby

IN

receptacles

from

the

output

of

your

external

Dolby

processor.

DESCRIPTION

OF

CONTROLS

Each

control

and

tuning

indicator

of

the

Citation

Fifteen

has

been

designed

to

perform

a

specific

useful

function

—

either

individually

or

in

combination

with

others.

In

order

to

obtain

the

best

possible

performance

from

your

tuner,

we

suggest

that

you

read

the

following

so

that

you

may

take

advantage

of

the

full

potential

of

these

controls

and

indicators.

POWER

SWITCH

This

switch

provides

AC

power

to

the

tuner

and

to

the

AC

con-

venience

receptacle

on

the

rear

panel.

When

in

the

"ON"

position,

the

pilot

light

jewel

below

the

switch

and

the

meter

and

dial

scale

win-

dows

will

he

illuminated.

GAIN

CONTROLS

(Left

&

Right)

These

control

the

output

level

of

the

tuner

at

the

VARIABLE

OUT-

PUT

receptacles

on

the

rear

panel.

If

the

tuner

is

used

in

conjunction

with

a

basic

amplifier

only,

these

controls

will

adjust

the

system

gain.

When

connected

to

a

preamplifier,

these

controls

may

be

preset

to

match

the

level

of

other

signal

sources

connected

to

your

system.

The

volume

control

of

your

preamplifer

may

then

be

used

as

the

master

gain

control

of

your

system.

STEREO

INDICATOR

The

"Stereo

Indicator"

light

indicates

when

the

Citation

Fifteen

is

reproducing

stereo

FM

broadcasts.

STEREO

AUTOMATIC/MONOPHONIC

SWITCH

Under

normal

use

for

all

broadcasts,

the

stereo

auto

switch

should

be

in

the

"OUT"

(stereo

Auto)

position.

Your

tuner

is

equipped

with

a

stereo

sensing

circuit

which

will

auto-

matically

determine

whether

your

unit

is

receiving

monophonic

or

stereophonic

broadcasts,

and

then

automatically

adjust

the

mode

of

operation.

If

the

station

is

transmitting

stereo,

your

tuner

will

automatically

switch

on

the

multiplex

section

and

you

will

hear

the

broadcast

in

full

stereo.

Should

the

station

conclude

broadcasting

in

stereo,

your

tuner

will

automatically

switch

back

to

monophonic

reception.

Should

you

receive

a

weak

stereo

signal

whose

quality

has

been

degraded

by

noise

or

poor

signal

conditions,

and

you

wish

to

listen

to

this

stereo

broadcast

monophonically,

place

the

stereo

auto

switch

to

the

"IN"

position.

STEREO

THRESHOLD

CONTROL

This

rear

panel

control

can

be

adjusted

to

determine

the

number

of

stereo

stations

the

tuner

will

reproduce

when

in

the

"OUT"

position

of

the

stereo

Auto/Mono

switch.

In

the

full

counterclockwise

position,

the

automatic

switching

circuits

have

maximum

sensitivity

and

all

stereo

stations

within

the

range

of

the

tuner

will

be

reproduced.

However,

due

to

weak

signals

(or

their

distance

from

your

antenna)

some

stations

will

contain

noise

levels

which

degrade

performance

when

reproduced

in

stereo.
