Model 970 Rear Panel

Model 970 Rear Panel

The Model 970 rear panel provides a wide range of digital and analog inputs and outputs. Many current components provide multiple types of audio and video connectors. When in doubt about which to use, choose the best available connection based on the following: For video, the highest quality signal is obtained by using DVI/HDMI, followed by component, S-Video and composite. For audio, start with either a coaxial or optical digital cable, otherwise use standard RCA-type analog connectors.

In some cases you will want to make more than one type of connection for added flexibility in configuring your system. Those situations will be noted below.

RP1

Component video inputs (see pages 15-23)

 

Use these three sets of jacks to connect devices with component video

 

outputs, such as a DVD player or a digital TV tuner. If the device has a

 

DVI or HDMI output, use that connection instead.

RP2

FM antenna input (see page 18)

 

Accepts a 75-ohm coaxial cable. Use it to connect the supplied FM

 

antenna.

RP3

AM antenna input (see page 18)

 

Use this to connect the supplied AM loop antenna or any other external

 

AM antenna.

RP4

Component video output (see pages 15-23)

 

Connect to a video display that accepts component video. If the device has

 

a DVI or HDMI input, use that connection instead.

RP5

DVD input (see pages 15-23)

 

Use this group of inputs to connect a device with analog multi-channel

 

outputs, such as a DVD-Audio or Super Audio CD player. The composite

 

and S-Video jacks are specifically designated for use with this input,

 

or you may assign any of the DVI or component video inputs. A pair of

 

analog audio inputs is also provided.

RP6

Bass Management selector switch

 

Three position toggle switch for selecting how the Model 970 routes bass

 

signals for the DVD 7.1 multi-channel analog inputs only. Choices are

 

“Digital” (which applies the choices that you’ll make in the Speaker Size

 

and Speaker X-Over sub-menus), “Bypass” (no bass management at all)

 

and “HPF/LPF” (a fixed analog crossover at 80Hz). Bass Management

 

parameters are set for all other inputs using the Speaker Size and Speaker

 

X-Over sub-menus explained on pages 30-31.

RP7

IR input

 

Connect an external infrared sensor to this input to allow remote control

 

of the Model 970 even if it is installed in a cabinet with solid doors. It also

 

allows control of the Model 970 from a second room.

RP8

IR output

 

Feeds an infrared flasher attached to another piece of audio/video gear.

 

Any infrared remote signal received by the Model 970’s front-panel sen-

 

sor or by an external sensor connected to the Model 970 will be relayed

 

through this jack, so concealed audio/video devices can be controlled

 

by remote.

RP9 12V Trigger output (see page 18)

This jack provides a 12-volt DC output whenever the Model 970 is switched on. Usually, this jack is used for automatic turn-on of a compatible amplifier equipped with a DC trigger input.

RP10 Serial number

Write this number in the space provided on page 4 for future reference.

RP11 RS-232 port (see page 18)

Use this connector for uploading new software into the Model 970.

RP12 Digital audio inputs (see pages 15-23)

Optical and coaxial inputs for connecting digital audio devices such as DVD players, CD players, and digital TV tuners. These inputs are assign- able to any video or audio source.

RP13 Reset switch access

Together with the RS-232 port, this switch is used to enable the software update process of the Model 970. This switch should not be confused with resetting the Model 970 configuration settings to their factory defaults which is explained on page 49.

RP14 Digital audio outputs (see pages 15-23)

Connect these to a CD recorder, MiniDisc recorder, a computer or any other audio recording device that accepts digital inputs. Both optical and coaxial outputs are provided.

RP15 Analog audio connections (see pages 15-23)

This group includes input connectors for analog audio devices, such as cable boxes, laserdisc players or older CD players. There is also a tape loop for feeding an analog audio recorder or cassette deck.

RP16 Video 1 connections (see pages 15-23)

Connect these audio and video jacks to a VCR or a DVD recorder. If the recorder has an S-Video input, use that connection instead of composite video.

RP17 Video 2 and 3 connections (see pages 15-23)

Connect these two sets of audio and video jacks to video devices, such as DVD players, satellite receivers, regular and S-VHS VCRs, cable boxes or laserdisc players.

RP18 Monitor out connections (see pages 15-23)

Connect these audio and video jacks to your TV or monitor. Use the S-Video or composite connectors when the display does not have a com- ponent or DVI/HDMI video input.

RP19 Subwoofer output (see pages 18 and 23)

Connect to the input of a powered subwoofer or to an amplifier that feeds a passive (non-powered) subwoofer. The output of the signal at this jack is determined by the settings in the Speaker Size and Speaker X-Over sub-menus explained on pages 30-31.

RP20 Preamp audio outputs (see pages 18 and 23)

Variable outputs for connecting to an external power amplifier to your system while still using the speakers connected to the loudspeaker out- puts. If desired, an external amplifier with higher power than the Model 970’s internal amp–such as one of Outlaw’s own amplifiers–can be connected to the Model 970 using these jacks. Alternatively, an external amp can be connected here to drive additional speakers in a remote location, such as a patio or second room.
