Complete Multiroom System

When properly connected, a second source may be sent to a remote room, complete with remote volume control, source selection and tuner control. A trigger for the second zone allows a second amplifier to turn on and off independently of the main room. This system may also be used to record an input source that is different from the one being used in the main room.

2 Low voltage triggers

One trigger provides automatic turn on/off of compatible power ampli- fiers such as the Outlaw Model 770/755/750 or relay-controlled products such as projection screens, blinds and lighting systems. A separate trigger provides turn on/off control for an amplifier used with the multiroom system.

Unpacking

The carton and packing materials used in shipping your new Preamp/Processor were specially designed to cushion it from the shocks and vibration of shipping. We strongly suggest that you save the carton and packing materials to use if you move, or if the unit ever needs to be shipped back to us for any reason.

To minimize the size of the carton in storage, you may wish to flatten it by carefully opening the top and bottom flaps and folding the carton flat. 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.

Although not particularly heavy, the 950 has many front mounted controls and rear panel connectors, so be careful when lifting it so as not to cause damage.

Accessories

After unpacking the Model 950, please check that the following accessories are in the box:

Remote Control with Batteries AC Power Cord
