CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the cover. No user service- Outdoor Antenna Grounding­If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the unit, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna-discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. Lightning­For added protection for the unit during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. [. . . ] Dipoles placed on a rear or back wall should have the arrows pointing towards each other to achieve the correct acoustical image in the room. Subwoofer Subwoofer placement can frequently be a trial and error affair as bass energy set up "standing waves" in most every room. These standing waves can cause areas with too much bass, areas with too little bass, and areas in between. You may have to move the subwoofer and or the prime listening area to improve the bass response. Be aware that every surface you place the woofer close to (one wall, floor, two walls in a corner) will increase the overall apparent bass in the room. When connecting any speakers, be sure to read the instruction manuals that came with the product and check your power amplifier's instruction manual for proper hook-up of the loudspeakers. 24 Outlaw Audio Owner's Manual System Setup Speaker Placement ° Model 950 7. 1 Channel Preamp/Processor 25 Owner's Manual System Setup The first step in configuring the 950 to operate with your speaker system is to set the type, number and crossover frequencies of your particular loudspeakers. You make these selections using the Speaker Configuration menu shown below. Figure 2 4. Use the < and > buttons to cycle through the speaker options for the FRONT speaker. The following options are available for each group of loudspeakers: For FRONT you can select SMALL or LARGE For CENTER you can select SMALL, LARGE or NONE For SURR(OUNDS) you can select SMALL, LARGE or NONE For SURR(OUNDS) REAR you can select BS(LB), LB/RB or NONE LB/RB means you have a Left Back and Right Back rear surround speaker setup for use in a 7. 1 configuration.

Press the button when you are finished to select the Front Crossover (XOVER) menu. The cursor on the OSD should be pointing to the Speaker Configuration menu and SPEAKER CONFIG appears on the Front Panel Display. 3. Press SELECT to enter the Speaker Configuration menu. The Front, Center and Surround Crossover menus are used to independently set the internal High Pass filter of the Model 950's Cirrus Triple Crossover for each of these three speaker groups. 7. Use the < and > buttons to adjust the Front Crossover. The crossover settings appear as follows as you scroll through them: 40Hz60Hz80Hz100Hz120Hz150Hz The Speaker Configuration menu appears on the Front Panel Display and the OSD (see figure 2). The first three settings in the Speaker configuration menu deal with the type of speakers you are using in your system. It is very important that you understand what is meant by the LARGE and SMALL settings in this menu. They do not refer to the physical size of the speakers, but to their ability to handle very powerful deep bass. Most loudspeaker systems on the market should be classified as Small, since they do not have the capability to handle the often extraordinary amount of deep bass content film soundtracks can contain. It is strongly recommended that you consult your loudspeaker instruction manual regarding the capabilities of your particular system with regard to low bass/low frequency reproduction. Please note that all THX certified loudspeaker systems are classified under this method as SMALL since a subwoofer is required for any THX certified loudspeaker system. In any case you should consider using a subwoofer for any system which you expect to effectively handle the low frequency dynamics of modern motion picture soundtrack sources such as DVD or HDTV feeds, and many other discrete multi-channel programming sources.
