Outlaw Audio Model 1070
7.1 Channel
Surround Sound Receiver
Welcome to the hideout–you're now an Outlaw! Although you've selected one of the most advanced A/V components available today, being an Outlaw isn't always easy. Owning Outlaw components often ruffles the feathers of friends or acquaintances that don't. That's because Outlaw products outperform comparably priced units from virtually all other companies or cost much, much less than units offering similar performance. But that's what being an Outlaw is all about. So, once again, welcome. And sincere thanks for joining the gang. We think you're going to enjoy being an Outlaw.
A Brief Note On This Manual
Read it! It's that simple. We know some of you won’t (Outlaws are a contrary bunch!) But those who take the time will get some serious help craftily disguised in non-serious language. Yep, you might say that this manual is a bit different from some you’ve encountered in the past. Who knows, it might even provide you with a chuckle or two as you read it.
On the serious side, this Manual contains everything you need to know to connect, configure, and use your new receiver. It'll show you how to integrate your new receiver with all the other components in your system, and how to customize the Model 1070 to match your preferences.
If you still have questions, we’re not going to leave you staked out in the sun waiting for some posse to round you up. You can contact us via e-mail at customerservice@outlawaudio.com or call us at 1-866-OUTLAWS (688-5297).
You may also find fellow Outlaws hanging out around the campfire at the Outlaw Saloon. It’s a great place to share your Model 1070 experiences with like-minded folk. Mosey on in by clicking on “Hideout” on our home page and then clicking on “Saloon.” But make sure no one else is watching, OK? We don't want anyone to know where the Outlaws hang out.
A Quick Guide to the Model 1070’s Features
Your new Outlaw Audio Model 1070 Surround Sound Receiver is built with top-quality components for state-of-the-art audio performance. It combines a broad range of inputs and outputs, the very latest audio processing technologies, and a powerful, no-nonsense amplifier that will make your speakers deliver all the sound they're capable of.
No matter what source material you throw at it, the Model 1070 provides the right surround-sound processing technology as well as other options to heighten your enjoyment of movies, music, and video games. The receiver works with practically any audio and video component from analog sources to CD players, cable and satellite boxes, PCs, digital TV tuners, and the latest Super Audio-CD and DVD-Audio players. Of course, there is also a built-in AM/FM tuner.
Clean design and intuitive controls make the Model 1070 one of the easiest- to-use surround receivers ever.
n8 Digital Audio Inputs (4 coaxial, 4 optical)
These are “assignable” inputs. That means the setup menu system “links” the front or rear panel digital inputs to any source. In short, you can use any digital input for any digital source. Hook them up first, program them later!
n2 Digital Audio Outputs (1 coaxial, 1 optical)
These let you connect digital audio sources to digital audio recorders.
nDVI (Digital Video Interface) Input/Output (2 input, 1 output) For the best possible picture with DVI- or HDMI-equipped digital TV tun- ers, satellite receivers and DVD players. Remember that DVI carries video signals only. If another component has HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) connections, you will need a DVI/HDMI adaptor or dual-purpose cable, such as those available from the Outlaws..
nHigh-Bandwidth Component Video Switching
This lets you use the Model 1070 as a switching center for your high-def sources like digital set-top boxes and progressive-scan DVD players without losing any picture quality.
n5 Composite and S-Video Inputs
These provide high-quality video signal paths to and from your video sources.
n8 Analog Audio Inputs with Bypass Capability
Connect all your audio sources to the Model 1070 with ease. And you can bypass all digital processing (surround processing, bass management, etc.) to listen to straight analog two-channel sources whenever you want.
nVideo Output Conversion
All composite and S-video signals are “transcoded” or upconverted to component video, so every video signal (except DVI) is available at the component output jacks. Of course, the on-screen menus are also available on the component outputs (except when HDTV signals are in use.)
nHigh-performance AM/FM/FM Stereo tuner with 30 presets
nAudiophile-quality digital-to-analog and preamplifier stages Provide maximum performance for critical music listening.
nDolby Digital EX® and Pro Logic IIx®
Dolby Digital decoding delivers 5.1-channel digital surround sound from DVD, satellite, cable and digital TV sources. Dolby Digital EX adds an additional rear-surround channel. Pro Logic IIx converts stereo sound to 5.1, 6.1 or 7.1 channels, and also converts 5.1 sources to 7.1.
nDTS®, DTS-ES®and DTS Neo:6®
The full suite of DTS decoding and processing modes is available to provide up to 6.1 channels of sound from virtually any analog source as well as DTS-encoded programs.
n7.1-Channel Analog Input with digital or analog bass management This is for connection of today’s multi-channel source devices (Super Audio CD and DVD-Audio players) as well as future high definition sources. You may choose either digital or analog bass management, or simply go with the by-pass mode when your player has internal bass management.
nDolby Headphone®
This creates a surround-sound effect with ordinary headphones.
