Unpacking

and

Installation

The

carton

and

shipping

materials

used

in

protecting

your

new

amplifier

were

spe-

cially

designed

to

cushion

it

from

the

shocks

and

vibration

of

shipping.

We

suggest

that

you

save

the

carton

and

packing

materials

for

use

in

shipping

if

you

move

or

should

the

unit

ever

need

repair.

To

minimize

the

size

of

the

carton

in

storage,

you

may

wish

to

fl

atten

it.

This

is

done

by

carefully

slitting

the

tape

seams

on

the

bottom

and

collapsing

the

carton

down

to

a

more

two-dimensional

appearance.

Other

cardboard

inserts

may

be

stored

in

the

same

manner.

Packing

materials

that

cannot

be

collapsed

should

be

saved

along

with

the

carton

in

a

plastic

bag.

In

order

to

assure

a

high

level

of

performance

and

long

life,

the

Citation

7.1

has

been

engineered

from

robust

materials.

This

weight,

however,

requires,

that

you

pay

special

attention

to

unpacking

and

installation

of

the

unit.

First,

you

may

wish

to

have

someone

help

you

remove

the

unit

from

its

carton

and

place

it

in

the

prop-

er

location.

In

addition,

when

moving

the

amplifier,

be

careful

not

to

set

it

down

on

the

heat

sink

edges

to

avoid

damage

to

their

surface

or

fi

nish.

Similarly,

be

care-

ful

to

avoid

scratching

any

contact

surface

with

the

heat

sinks,

as

their

edges

may

be

sharp.

Make

certain

that

any

shelf

or

stand

is

capable

of

supporting

the

weight

of

the

amplifier.

This

is

particularly

true

if

you

will

be

stacking

multiple

amplifiers

on

the

same

shelf.

When

positioning

the

amplifier

in

its

fi

nal

location,

make

certain

that

it

has

ade-

quate

ventilation

on

all

sides,

as

well

as

on

the

top

and

bottom.

Do

not

place

CDs,

record

jackets,

owner's

manuals,

or

other

paper,

on

top

of,

or

beneath

the

unit,

or

between

multiple

amplifiers

in

a

stack.

This

will

block

air

fl

ow,

causing

degraded

performance

and

a

possible

fi

re

hazard.

If

the

unit

is

to

be

enclosed

in

a

cabinet

or

rack,

make

certain

that

there

is

adequate

air

circulation,

with

a

means

provided

for

hot

air

to

exit,

and

for

cool

air

to

be

brought

in.

In

some

instances,

a

fan

may

be

required

for

this

purpose.

If

you

are

in

doubt

as

to

the

ventilation

requirements,

please

consult

with

your

dealer

or

installer.

When

stacking

multiple

Citation

7.1

amplifiers

in

a

rack

or

cabinet,

place

the

unit

which

will

power

front

and/or

center

channel

speakers

at

the

bottom

of

the

stack.

Next,

place

the

amplifier

used

for

surround

speakers

in

the

center.

The

unit

which

will

be

used

to

power

subwoofers

should

be

at

the

top

of

the

stack.
