Antenna Connections; Amplifier Connections - Outlaw 990 Owner's Manual

Owner's Manual
If your TV tuner has an digital audio output, connect it to one
Digital Audio
of the coaxial (COAX 1 or 2) or optical (OPT 1-4 IN) input jacks on the rear
of the Model 990, depending on the type of connector used. Note, that with
some cable set-top boxes, it is advisable to make both an analog and digital
audio connection. Later, you will configure the Model 990 to use the specific
digital audio input that you have chosen. For now, note which digital input
you used on your system chart.
Second Zone
Connect the composite video input from the display to the com-
Composite
posite (yellow) ZONE 2 OUT jack on the rear of the Model 990.
If there is an S-Video input on the display, connect it to the S-Video
S-Video
ZONE 2 OUT jack on the rear of the Model 990. Normally, an S-Video connec-
tion delivers a better picture, but S-Video performance degrades in cable runs
longer than about 25 feet unless you use high-quality cable. If you must run
a cable further than 25 feet to your second zone, you may find a composite
video cable to be the most cost-effective solution.

Antenna Connections

The Model 990 has an internal AM/FM tuner with separate external connec-
tions for each radio band.
FM Antenna
Connect the supplied FM dipole antenna to the two screw terminals on the
supplied 75-to-300-ohm balun. Push the balun's coaxial connector onto the
connector labeled FM on the back of the Model 990.
The supplied FM antenna is for indoor use only. For best signal reception you
must fully extend the antenna. Experiment with the antenna's position to
obtain the strongest signal. You can attach it to a wall or other surface using
push pins, tacks, or small nails.
If FM reception is poor with the supplied indoor antenna, we recommend using
an amplified indoor or outdoor antenna. You can connect a 75-ohm type FM
antenna directly to the Model 990 without using a balun.
AM Antenna
Connect the supplied AM antenna to the push terminals labeled AM LOOP on
the rear panel of the Model 990. Start by pressing in the lever on the bottom of
one of the terminals. Next, insert one of the antenna wires. Release the level
and repeat the process with the other lever and the other wire.
Experiment with the antenna's position to obtain the strongest signal.

Amplifier Connections

IMPORTANT NOTE: Before attempting to make any connection to
your power amplifier, make sure the amplifier is turned off and/or
disconnected from AC power. Failure to do so can result in severe dam-
age to your amplifier and/or loudspeakers.
