If

this

is

the

only

remote

controlled

amplifier

in

the

system,

no

further

connections

are

needed.

If

multiple

remote

controlled

amplifiers

are

used,

connect

the

"Remote

DC

OUT"

jack

on

one

amplifier

to

the

"Remote

DC

IN"

on

the

next

unit

in

the

system.

Finally,

make

certain

that

the

"manual/remote"

switch

on

the

rear

panel

is

in

the

"remote"

position

to

activate

the

remote

control

circuits.

If

the

amplifier

is

to

be

controlled

manually,

the

toggle

switch

should

be

in

the

"manual"

position,

and

power

will

be

switched

on

and

off

using

the

master

power

switch

on

the

rear

panel.

Using

External

to

DC

Power

Converter

If

the

7.1

is

not

used

with

a

compatible

Citation

Controller/Processor

or

other

approved

external

device

that

is

capable

of

generating

turn

on

control

voltages,

it

is

still

possible

to

activate

the

unit

for

automatic

turn

on.

To

control

the

amplifier

in

this

fashion

you

will

need

a

small

AC

to

DC

power

converter,

capable

of

delivering

a

4.5

to

12

volts

DC

signal

at

100

milliamperes.

The

DC

voltage

should

terminate

in

a

standard

mini

plug

with

the

positive

voltage

going

to

the

tip

and

the

negative

voltage

going

to

the

ring.

This

type

of

converter

may

be

obtained

at

Radio

Shack

stores

as

catalog

#273-11454.

Plug

the

AC

adapter

into

a

switched

outlet

that

will

be

activated

when

you

wish

to

have

the

amplifier(s)

turn

on.

This

may

be

the

switched

outlet

at

the

rear

of

an

AC

receiver

or

other

audio

equipment,

an

AC

outlet

that

is

part

of

a

current

sensing

control

unit

that

is

activated

by

a

preamp

or

surround

processor,

or

a

switched

AC

wall

outlet.

The

DC

output

jack

should

be

connected

to

the

"DC

IN"

jack

on

the

rear

of

the

7.1

amplifier.

If

there

are

additional

amplifiers

in

the

system,

they may

be

connected

by

running

a

cable

from

the

"DC

OUT"

jack

on

the

fi

rst

amplifier

to

the

"DC

IN"

jack

on

the

second,

and

so

on.

Before

turning

on

the

amplifiers,

be

certain

that

the

"manual/remote"

switch

on

the

rear

panel

is

in

the

"remote"

position.

The

amplifiers

will

now

turn

on

in

sequence

when

power

is

applied

to

the

AC

out-

let

where

the

converter

is

plugged

in.

The

fi

rst

unit

will

turn

on,

and

then

each

suc-

cessive

unit

will

come

on

following

a

short

pause.
