Unpacking and Installation
The carton and shipping materials used in protecting your new ampli�er were specially designed to cushion it from the shocks and vibration of shipping. We suggest that you save the carton and packing materials for use in shipping if you move or should the unit ever need repair. To minimize the size of the carton in storage, you may wish to �atten it. This is done by carefully slitting the tape seams on the bottom and collapsing the carton down to a more two-dimensional appearance. Other cardboard inserts may be stored in the same manner. Packing materials that cannot be collapsed should be saved along with the carton in a plastic bag. In order to assure a high level of performance and long life, the Citation 5.1 has been engineered from robust materials. This weight, however, requires, that you pay special attention to unpacking and installation of the unit. First, you may wish to have someone help you remove the unit from its carton and place it in the proper location. In addition, when moving the ampli�er, be careful not to set it down on the heat sink edges to avoid damage to their surface or �nish. Similarly, be careful to avoid scratching any contact surface with the heat sinks, as their edges may be sharp. Make certain that any shelf or stand is capable of supporting the weight of the ampli�er. This is particularly true if you will be stacking multiple ampli�ers on the same shelf. When positioning the ampli�er in its �nal location, make certain that it has adequate ventilation on all sides, as well as on the top and bottom. Do not place CDs, record jackets, owner�s manuals, or other paper, on top of, or beneath the unit, or between multiple ampli�ers in a stack. This will block air �ow, causing degraded performance and a possible �re hazard. If the unit is to be enclosed in a cabinet or rack, make certain that there is adequate air circulation, with a means provided for hot air to exit, and for cool air to be brought in. In some instances, a fan may be required for this purpose. If you are in doubt as to the ventilation requirements, please consult with your dealer or installer. When stacking multiple Citation 5.1 ampli�ers in a rack or cabinet, place the unit which will power front and/or center channel speakers at the bottom of the stack. Next, place the ampli�er used for surround speakers in the center. The unit which will be used to power subwoofers should be at the top of the stack.
