3. Connect the Rec A Audio Output of the 5.0 to the “Rec/In” input of the audio recorder or VCR
that will be used to record the output of the 5.0. Connect the Rec A Video Output to the composite
video input of a VCR that will be used to record the output of the 5.0.
4. Connect the Main Composite Video Output on the 5.0 to the Video In jack on your TV monitor
or other video display device. A connection from the Main S-Video Output on the 5.0 to the
S-video input on your video display may also be made if you will use S-video sources at a later time.
5. Using high-quality audio interconnect cables, connect the Audio Outputs of the 5.0 to the
matching input connection on your amplifier. Note that the 5.0’s preset default is for Citation
or Fosgate • Audionics Dual Drive dipole surround speakers. If you are using standard surround
speakers you will need to make an adjustment at the Speaker Setup menu, as detailed on pages
32–33 of this manual.
6. Connect the Subwoofer Outputs to the line-level input of powered subwoofers, or to the amp-
lifier that will power passive subwoofers. Note that the 5.0 is shipped for use with stereo subwoofers
as a factory default. If you are using stereo subwoofers, be certain to connect them to the Sub
Outputs
at the far side of the output jack field. If you are using only one subwoofer, connect it to
the Mono Sub jack. If one or no subwoofers are installed, please note that you will have to make an
adjustment to the Speaker Setup menu, as described on page 34 of this manual.
7. If a Citation power amplifier, or other compatible power amplifier with 12-volt turn-on trigger
circuits will be used, connect the Trig 1 Trigger jack on the 5.0 to the Trigger Input on the amplifier
using a connection cord with mono 3.5mm mini-plugs at both ends. Follow the switch setting
instructions for the amplifiers, if any, as detailed in the amplifier owner’s manual.
Important Note: To avoid unwanted hum and noise, be careful to keep audio connections, par-
ticularly those for amplifiers, separated from AC power cords. Do not coil extra lengths in either
audio interconnects or speaker cables.
8. Connect all speakers to the amplifiers in accordance with the instructions supplied by the manufac-
turers. Make certain that all speaker connections are made with special attention to proper polarity.
9. Install four AAA batteries in the remote. Open the battery cover on the back of the remote by
sliding the cover down and towards you. Be careful to install the batteries so that they match the
polarity (+ and
–
) indications inside the battery compartment.
10. Connect all devices, including the 5.0, to their AC power source.
11. Press the small On/Off button on the front panel of the 5.0 (below the large Standby button)
in until it clicks and catches. It will remain in and flush with the unit’s front panel. Note that
the word will briefly flash in blue and then go out, and a small green indicator
will illuminate.
