[. . . ] Model 770 Seven-Channel Model 755 Five-Channel Power Amplifier ® Owner's Manual Owner's Manual Warnings Please Read First Installation Location To assure proper operation and to avoid the potential for safety hazards, place the unit on a firm and level surface capable of supporting 100 pounds or more. When placing the amplifier on a shelf, be certain that the shelf and any mounting hardware can support the weight of the amplifier and any additional items in the equipment rack, or on the shelf. When positioning the amplifier in its final location, make certain that it has adequate ventilation on all sides, as well as on the top and bottom. In particular, it is a good idea to provide at least two or three inches of room above the amplifier for air circulation. [. . . ] Out-of-phase connections mean that some speaker cones will be moving in, while others move out. This will cause indistinct or confused imaging, and muddled and cloudy sounds. To avoid incorrect phasing or polarity, be certain to use cable that has distinct markings, colors, stripes, wording, or grooves on each side of the speaker cable. When making connections to the amp and speakers, adhere to a consistent pattern of using one side of the wire to the red terminals and Model 770/755 Multi-Channel Power Amplifier 5 Owner's Manual Model 755 Rear Panel Connections Model 755 Rear Panel Connections 6 Outlaw Audio Owner's Manual Model 770 Rear Panel Connections Model 770 Rear Panel Connections Model 770/755 Multi-Channel Power Amplifier 7 Owner's Manual Amplifier Operation Power Control Connections Your Outlaw amplifier features a built-in remote turn-on system that will automatically switch the amplifier when another device in the system is switched on. Amplifier Operation After all connections have been made you are ready for listening. This avoids the possibility of any turn on pops or transients from other equipment being amplified and sent to your speakers where they may cause damage. Always start with a low volume level on your controller or preamp to avoid damage to your speakers. Remote Turn-On Using Products Equipped With a 12 Volt Trigger Jack Press the front panel power switch on the amplifier so that it is in the ON position. Then, using an accessory cable with a 3. 5mm mono mini-plug on each end, connect the trigger-output jack on the rear of the source device to the trigger input jack on the back panel of the amplifier. When these connections are made, the amplifier will automatically turn on whenever the triggering device is turned on. Manual On Simply press the front panel Power/Standby button until the light is illuminated. There will be a short pause from the time the power is turned on until power is applied to the speakers. This is intentional, and protects your speakers from damage while the amplifier stabilizes. The indicator light will go out. Remote Turn on Using External AC to DC Power Converter If your processor or receiver does not have a dedicated trigger jack, it is still possible to activate the unit for automatic turn on when a Switched Outlet is available on the rear of the source device. To control the amplifier in this fashion you will need a small AC to DC power converter, capable of delivering a 6 to 12 volt DC signal. This type of converter may be obtained as a Power Adapter from many electronics retailers. When installing, press the Main Power Switch on the front panel of the amplifier in so that it is in the ON position. Plug the AC adapter into a switched outlet that will be activated when you wish to have the amplifier turn on. This may be the switched outlet at the rear of an AC receiver or other audio equipment. Connect the 3. 5mm mini-plug from the adapter to the trigger-input jack on the back panel of the amplifier. The amplifier will now turn on and off automatically, based on the status of the controlling device. Automatic On Make certain that the connection to the processor, or other controlling device is correct, as described on page ?. Whenever the controlling device is turned on, the amplifier will automatically turn on after a short pause. This pause is intentional, and it protects your speakers from damage while the amplifier stabilizes. To turn off your amplifier, simply turn off the unit that feeds the amplifier it's audio signals. The amplifier will automatically go into a stand by mode in a few moments. Output Settings All volume and level adjustments are made at your preamp, controller or surround processor. [. . . ] Please save all of your packing material in that the amplifier is heavy and can get damamged in shipping without proper protection. We recommend that you keep the packing (even after 30 days) so that if you ever move, the unit will be adequately protected.
