If your cable is 75 ohm, it will be round with either two protruding wires or a threaded coaxial connector. If the cable ends in bare wires connect the wire that forms the outer mesh braid to the terminal marked GND, 75g. Connect the solid, copper-colored wire protruding from the center of the cable to the terminalimmediately to the left of the first. Ifyour 75 ohm lead has a threadedcoaxial connector, tighten it onto the threadedantenna receptacle marked 750. Ifno outdoor antenna is available, connect the lugs of the dipole antenna (supplied with the Receiver) to the 300 c2 BAL terminals. The position of the antenna is impor- tant for optimum reception. The dipole willperform bestifits arms are carefully extended in a straight horizontal line and the entire antenna is fixed to the wall or tacked to the back of a shelf. Connecting Turntables The Citation Receiver provides two sets of inputs for turntables. Each turntable will have its own signal cables for the left and right channels. Consult the turntable owner's manual and determine which of the cables is the left channelsignal cable. Insert the pluginto the upper PHONO 1receptacle on the rearpanel of the Citation Receiver. Insert theplug of the right channelsignal cable into the lowerPHONO 1receptacle. Press both plugs in as far as they willgo so that they are seated snugly If the turntable has a separate ground wire, connect it to the knurledlug marked GND on the Receiver. To connect a second turntable, repeat the procedure using the PHONO 2 receptacles. 7 na-s, • PHONO 2 PREAMP ROrt GND AUX MON GND GND A SUBSONIC FILTER switch is located on the rear panel near the PHONO input receptacles. The filter protects the Receiver and speakers from inordinate subsonic resonances produced by some turntable-arm-cartridge combinations. The SUBSONIC FILTER affects only the phono inputs. You may prefer the margin of safety provided by having the SUBSONIC FILTER switch set to the IN position. After following the procedure described in the Operations section of this manual, some critical listeners may prefer to have the switch in the OUT position. 5

it
will
be

to
the
terminal
marked
GND,
75g.
Connect
the
solid,
copper
-colored
wire
protruding
from
the
center
of
the
cable
to
the
terminal
imme-
diately
to
the
left

If
your
75

lead
has
a
threaded
coaxial
connector,
tighten
it
onto
the
threaded
antenna
receptacle
marked
750.
If

is
available,
connect
the

The

The

will
perform

Connecting
Turntables
The
Citation
Receiver
provides
two
sets
of
inputs
for
turntables.
Each
turntable
will
have
its
own
signal
cables
for
the
left
and
right
channels.
Consult
the
turntable
owner's
manual
and
determine
which
of
the
cables
is
the
left
channel
signal
cable.
Insert
the
plug
into
the
upper
PHONO
1
receptacle
on
the
rear
panel
of
the
Citation
Receiver.
Insert
the
plug
of
the
right
channel
signal
cable
into
the
lower
PHONO
1
receptacle.
Press
both
plugs
in
as
far
as
they
will
go
so
that
they
are
seated
snugly
If
the
turntable
has
a
separate
ground
wire,
connect
it
to
the
knurled
lug
marked
GND
on
the
Receiver.
To
connect
a
second
turntable,
repeat
the
procedure
using
the
PHONO
2
receptacles.
