System Connections
Note: When making connections between any source components or proces-
sors or preamplifiers and the Citation 5.1, or when making any connections to
speakers, be certain that both the input device and the amplifier are turned off.
To assure that there will be no unwanted signal transients that can damage
equipment or speakers, it is always best to unplug all equipment before making
any connections. Modern electronic products often have a “standby” mode that
may be activated even though the product may appear to be turned off.
As a general rule, avoid running any input signal or speaker wire connections in
parallel with each other, or with AC power cords. This can result in undesired hum
or other interference that will greatly degrade signal performance.
When making connections with “RCA” type plugs on interconnect cables, make
certain to gently, but firmly insert the plug into the jack on the back of the Citation
5.1. Loose connections can cause intermittent sound and may damage your speak-
ers. The barrel assembly of some high quality RCA plugs may be very tight, and it
is important to assure a proper connection between the interconnection cable and
the input jack.
