Below the top line of secondary controls, there is a group of six Analog Input Program buttons P which select the first six program profiles without having to use the Watch and Listen buttons • Ä; they offer direct access. Just below this group of buttons is another group of six

Program buttons Q. These offer direct access to program profiles 7 through 12, typically used for digital sources.

Note: Reference to “Analog” and “Digital” is only accurate if you have programmed the program profiles using this convention; 1 through 6 for analog sources, and 7 though 12 for digital sources.

The Panorama Control button Z will cycle through the settings for the panorama attribute which is associated with many of the Surround modes, from OFF through to MAXIMUM. If a Surround mode is in use for which panorama is not an attribute (such as Dolby Digital), this button will have no effect.

The Hi-EQbutton X turns whatever high-frequency equalization is associated with the present Surround mode on and off alternately.

The Bass Boost buttons Y adjust the amount of bass boost from flat to +8dB.

The Trigger 1 and Trigger 2 Manual Control buttons V W toggle the settings of these control signals between “up” and “down”. “Up” corresponds to the trigger signal being “on”; “down” corresponds to the trigger signal being “off”. These relationships correspond to the convention used by manufacturers of electrically-operated projection screens, devices frequently controlled by trigger signals. These buttons will override the state of the triggers as set in the Program Setup and Program Triggers menus. The only exception to this rule is that any trigger which has been set to operate when the remote zone is activated WILL NOT be overridden by these buttons. Returning the 5.0 to Standby and then turning it on again or pressing the Cancel button © on the remote control will return the triggers to their previous states.

The last row of secondary controls are described in the “Advanced Features” section of this manual starting on under the heading “Remote Zone” starting on page 59.

Surround Modes

The Citation 5.0 offers the user several modes of surround sound, which can be divided into two major categories and sub-categories. A discussion follows to shed some light on what can be a confusing subject.

First, there is a division between “discrete 5.1” and “derived” types of materials. The first, “Discrete 5.1,” includes Dolby Digital (AC-3) and DTS. While differing in technical details, these sources (primarily available on DVD) provide five discrete, completely separate, channels of information for the left, center and right front channels, and two stereo surround channels, plus a 6th channel used for limited-bandwidth subwoofer-directed sounds and special low-frequency effects, most frequently explosion, cannon fire, etc.
