Care and Maintenance

Operation

After you have programmed the remote control for your equipment, use the following procedures to operate the components of your home entertainment system:

To operate a system component that you have programmed:

1.On the Model 970 remote, press the button near the top of the remote for the device you want to control (CBL, AUX, VCR, TV, SAT, CD, or AMP)

2.Aim the remote control at the device and press the POWER button to turn on the device.

3.Press the buttons that send out the commands you desire.

Note: Some audio/video devices have separate buttons for POWER ON and POWER OFF. To operate these devices on the remote, press the corresponding device button to turn the equipment ON and press the POWER button to turn the equipment OFF.

Please try all the functions of this remote control with your equipment. The most common functions are labeled on the remote. However, some of the secondary functions might be stored under a button that has a different name from the one on your original remote control.

Source Selection Buttons

Pressing a source button (VIDEO 1, DVD, etc.) at the bottom of the remote control performs the following functions:

If the Model 970 is in Standby mode, powers up the unit.

Selects that source on the Model 970.

Backlighting

Pressing any button on the Model 970 remote illuminates all the buttons on the remote control for about 5 seconds. The backlight is extended an additional 5 seconds with any button press while the backlight is on.

Care and Maintenance

Cleaning

When the unit becomes dirty, wipe it with a clean, soft, dry cloth. If necessary, first wipe the surface with a soft cloth slightly dampened with mild soapy water, then with a fresh cloth dampened with clean water. Wipe dry immediately with a dry cloth. NEVER use benzene, thinner, alcohol or any other volatile cleaning agent. Do not use abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the finish of the metal parts. Avoid spraying insecticide, waxes, polishing agents, or any aerosol product near the unit.

When You Are Away

If you will not be using your home theater system for an extended period of time, it is always a good idea to turn the unit off using the MAIN POWER button on the rear panel of the Model 970. This will prevent the automatic turn on circuits from accidentally turning the system on during your absence.

System Reset

In rare cases the Model 970’s internal processor may freeze or lock-up causing abnormal operation. This is common to all microprocessor-controlled devices when the unit is subject to excessive static discharge, AC line noise, or power spikes.

In most cases it is easy to solve this problem by simply unplugging the Model 970 from its AC power source for about five minutes. After waiting, reconnect the power cord and turn the unit on. If the unit functions normally, no further action is needed.

In the event that the unit still does not operate properly, it may be necessary to manually reset the processor. Note, however, that when the processor is reset you will lose all settings including digital audio assignments, surround mode settings, speaker configurations, tuner presets and any other memory items. For this reason we strongly recommend that you record these settings on the chart provided on page 15 of this manual so that it is easy to restore them after resetting the processor.

To perform a system reset:

1.Turn the rear-panel MAIN POWER switch on. The Standby/On indicator on the front panel will glow amber.

2.Turn on the Model 970 by pressing any of the input source buttons.

3.Press the Menu and Mute buttons on the front panel at the same time.

“PRESS (1) TO LOAD DEFAULT” appears in the front-panel display.

4.Release the the Menu and Mute buttons.

5.Within five seconds, press the 1 button on the remote control.

“OUTLAW AUDIO/MODEL 970” appears briefly to indicate that the unit has been reset. The unit will then return to normal operation.
