Output Level Adjustment Trims

Operating the Citation 5.0

Press the Balance Control button µ and note that an X/Y display will appear on the screen display (Figure OSD-22). An asterisk will appear at the center of the display to indicate the spot that is the acoustic center of the room, based on the output level settings established in the Speaker Setup menus. Note that this MAY NOT be the physical center of the room, depending on where the listener making the output level adjustments was positioned.

To move the “center” of the room, press the Ú Û Ü Ý Menu Control buttons . The numbers in paren- thesis under the indicators for each channel will change to show the exact offset from the true center (Figure OSD-23) and the asterisk will move to a position following the location of the room’s center.

If no further balance adjustment is required, press the Balance Control button µ twice to return to normal operation.

The main output level adjustments for the 5.0 should be made using the internal test tone, follow- ing the procedures outlined in the section of this manual describing Sound Level Calibration (see page 35). However, in some instances you may wish to change the levels using an external test signal generator, a test disc or some familiar piece of audio program material. The 5.0 permits these adjustments to be made, though they are not recommended as a substitute for initial calibration using the internal generator.

To trim the output levels using an external source, ﬁrst follow the procedures outlined for Sound Level Calibration as shown on page 35. Next, make certain that the proper input source is selected.

To begin the procedure, press the Balance Control button µ twice. The ﬁrst press will bring up the standard balance level adjustments. The second press will take you to the Trim Speaker Levels menu (Figure OSD-24). When the menu appears, use the Ü Ý Menu Control buttons to raise or lower the output level. Note that the changes from the internally-set levels will appear as a positive or negative offset below the speaker position indicator.
