Precautions
Verify The Line Voltage
Your new RR 2150 has been factory configured for 120 (+/- 3%) volt AC lines. Connecting
the unit to a line voltage other than that for which it is intended can create a safety and
fire hazard, and may damage the RR 2150. If you have any questions about the voltage
requirements for your specific model, or about the line voltage in your area, contact Outlaw
Audio before plugging the unit into a wall outlet.
Note to CATV system installer
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of
the NEC, ANSI/NFPA 70, which provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular,
specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building,
as close to the point of cable entry as practical.
NOTE: It is always a good idea to avoid using any audio or video equipment on
the same AC circuit as equipment with motors, such as air conditioners or refrig-
erators. This will lessen the possibility of power variation and electrical start-up
noise affecting your sound system.
FCC Information for User
CAUTION: ANY changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Power Cord
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
The removable power cord that is shipped with the RR 2150 is specifically designed to be
used with this product. DO NOT use any other power cord, as that may reduce the unit’s
performance and possibly create a safety hazard. In particular, DO NOT use standard IEC
type power cords designed for computers and other business equipment products, as they
have a three prong plug that is not meant for use with the RR 2150. Should the power cord
require replacement, use an identical type, or contact Outlaw Audio for service.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation.
Handle the AC Power Cord Gently
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
When disconnecting the power cord from an AC outlet, always pull the plug, never pull the
cord. If you do not intend to use the RR 2150 for any considerable length of time, disconnect
the plug from the AC outlet. If the power cord is replaced, make certain that it is of similar
gauge. As with all electrical devices, do not run power cords under rugs or carpets or place
heavy objects on them. Damaged power cords should be replaced immediately with cords
meeting factory specifications.
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
AC Fuse
The fuse is located inside the chassis and is not user-service-able. If power does not come
on, contact your authorized service station.
Outdoor Antenna Installation
Wiring
Safe Antenna and cable Connection
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the equipment, be sure the an-
tenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against built up static
charges and voltage surges. Section 810 of the national Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70
(in Canada, part 1 of the Canadian Electrical Code) provides information with respect 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
Cables that are run inside of walls should have the appropriate markings to indicate com-
pliance with, and listing by the UL , CSA or other standards required by the UL, CSA, NEC
or your local building code. Questions about cables inside of walls should be referred to a
qualified custom installer, or a licensed electrician or low-voltage contractor.
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 it’s weight. When placing the unit on a
shelf, be certain that the shelf and any mounting hardware can support the weight of the
unit and any additional items in the equipment rack, or on the shelf.
When positioning the RR 2150 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 unit for air circulation. DO NOT
place CDs, DVDs, videotapes, owner’s manuals, or other paper on top of, or beneath, the
unit, or in-between multiple amplifiers in a stack. This will block airflow, causing heat
build-up, degraded performance, and may create a possible fire hazard.

trode.
Keep
Antenna
Clear of High
Voltage Power
Lines or Circuits
If the unit is to be enclosed in a cabinet or rack, make certain there is adequate air circula-
tion. Sufficient ventilation should be provided so that hot air may exit, and cool air may
enter the cabinet. In some instances, a small cooling fan may be required to insure adequate
airflow through the cabinet. If you are in doubt as to the ventilation requirements for your
specific installation, please contact us. Also, do not place the RR 2150 directly on a carpeted
surface, as this will inhibit airflow underneath as well as create a potential fire hazard.
An outside antenna system should be located
well away from power lines, electric light or power
circuits and where it will never come into contact
with these power sources if it should happen to fall. When installing an outside antenna,
extreme care should be taken to avoid touching power lines, circuits or other power sources
as this could be fatal. Because of the hazards involved, antenna installation should be left
to a professional.
Avoid installation in humid locations, in extremely hot or cold locations, or in areas that
are exposed to direct sunlight or space heating equipment.
Do Not Open The Cabinet
There are no user serviceable components inside this product. Opening the cabinet may
present a shock hazard, and any modification to the product will void your guarantee. If
water or any metal object, such as a paper clip, coin or a staple, accidentally falls inside
the unit, disconnect it from the AC power source immediately, and contact Outlaw Audio
for further instructions.

RP1ꢂ External Processor Loop connections (see pages 11, 13)
Connect an external processor (equalizer, electronic crossover, surround
processor, etc.) to these jacks. These outputs are also fixed-level.
RP17 Main amp inputs (see pages 16-17)
These inputs are normally connected to the preamplifier outputs by
jumpers. (See RP16 above.)
RP15 Bass Management selector switch (see page 15)
This switch lets you adjust the internal crossover (bass management
system) to route user-selected low frequencies to the subwoofer output
(RP18) while the rest of the audio signal is sent to the amplifier and
then to the main loudspeakers.
RP18 Subwoofer line level output (see pages 14-15)
Connect a powered subwoofer to this output. Make sure you’ve set the Bass
Management selector switch (RP15) correctly. The output from this con-
nector is variable and controlled by the Master Volume setting (FP20).
RP19 Loudspeaker outputs (see pages 13-15)
RP16 Preamplifier outputs (see pages 16-17)
Use these binding posts to connect your primary (Speakers A) and
secondary (Speakers B) loudspeakers to the RR 2150.
These outputs allow you to connect a high output power amplifier if
needed. Simply remove the jumpers and connect the preamp outputs to
the inputs of the additional amplifier.
RPꢀ0 AC socket (see page 16)
Connect the supplied AC power cord to this socket before turning on the
Master Power Switch (RP8).
NOTE: Removing the jumpers ordinarily means that the RR 2150’s
internal amplifier does not receive a signal and thus can not send any
output to the speakers you have connected to it. In unusual circum-
stances, you can use shielded “Y” cords to connect both the internal
amplifier and another amplifier to the receiver’s preamp section.

Connecting Your RR 2150
External Loop
Connecting Source Components
This external processor loop (RP14) allows you to insert a wide variety of
external devices such equalizers or surround processors into the RR 2150’s
signal path. However, its use is optional. If your system doesn’t need the added
flexibility, make sure that the blue LED in the External Loop button (FP16) is
not illuminated. Since the External Loop may be switched in or out, it is best
suited to devices that you might use with some input sources, but not all.
Connect your input sources as shown below. Once the source is connected you
may select it by pressing the front panel Source selector (FP17) to step through
your various input choices. The RR 2150 will show which input is currently
enabled by displaying the name on the front panel display.
Phono
Plug your turntable’s output cables into the L/R Phono inputs (RP10). Make
sure you’ve connected Left to Left and Right to Right. Next, attach the ground
connection from your turntable’s tonearm to the ground connector screw
terminal (RP1).
Using shielded RCA-to-RCA cables, connect the external processor’s analog
audio outputs to the RR 2150’s L & R analog audio inputs. Next, connect
the external processor’s analog audio inputs to the RR 2150’s analog audio
outputs.
Finally, set the phono cartridge sensitivity selector switch (RP9) to either MM
(moving magnet) or MC (moving coil) to correspond with the type of cartridge
you are using. Note that some high output moving coil cartridges work better
when this selector is set to MM.
Remember these two points.
You must push the front panel External Loop button (FP16) to route the
audio signal to and from the external processor. The button’s blue LED
will light when the external loop is active.
USB
The external processor loop is a “fixed level” loop. It is not affected by the

RR 2150’s Master Volume Control.
Preamplifier Outputs/Main Amplifier Inputs
Tape
The RR 2150 is shipped with U-shaped jumpers that connect the preamplifier
and power amplifier sections of the receiver. For most systems no change is
needed here, as you will use both sections of the RR 2150. However, if you wish
to use an optional, external amplifier, remove the jumper plugs and connect
the left and right output jacks on the RR 2150 to the matching inputs on your
amplifier. Save the jumper plugs for use should you later wish to return to
normal operation.
Using shielded RCA-to-RCA cables, connect your recording device’s analog audio
outputs to the RR 2150’s L/R Tape inputs (RP13). Next, connect your recording
device’s analog audio inputs to the RR 2150’s L/R Tape outputs (RP13).
There are two further points you need to remember:
The tape outputs “fixed-level” in that they are not affected by the RR
2150’s volume control.
These jacks also provide a means to insert an equalizer or other device controller
in the audio signal path when you wish to have that device ALWAYS be used.
A good example of this is the external equalizer/controller used with certain
brands of speakers.
You must select the source you want to record by using the front panel
Record Selector (FP18).
If your recording device has the 3.5 mm stereo miniplugs often used on portable
audio products, use an optional adaptor cable to complete your connections.
To connect an external processor so that it is always in the audio path,
remove the two U shaped jumpers, but save them should they be needed in
the future.
Aux
Connect a portable music player (iPod®, MP3 player, etc.) or any other playback
device with a stereo 3.5 mm jack for either headphone or line-level output to
the RR 2150’s front panel Aux input (FP13).
Connect the RR 2150’s L & R Preamp audio outputs (RP16) to the inputs of
the external processor. Next, connect the outputs of the external processor to
the RR 2150’s Main amp audio inputs (RP17).
CD/DVD
Using shielded RCA-to-RCA cables, connect your CD or DVD player’s analog
audio outputs to the RR 2150’s CD/DVD inputs (RP12). As with other sources,
make sure to connect Left to Left and Right to Right.
Video
Connect the analog line-level audio output from any A/V source (VCR, satellite
or cable box, etc.) to the Video input jacks (RP11) using shielded RCA-to-RCA
cables.
NOTE: The RR 2150 does not have any inputs for the video from a DVD
player or other video source device. Any video connections should be
made directly to the an appropriate input on your display device.

Connecting Your RR 2150
Connecting Audio Recording Equipment and an External Processor to the RR 2150
plugs – are problematic.) The advantage of large diameter wire is that, all else
being equal, it has less resistance to current flow than thin wire.
Loudspeaker Connections
The connections between the RR 2150 and your loudspeakers are critical to
good sound. Although there’s a lot of debate about the “best” speaker wire and
the “best” connectors, our advice is to use what you feel is appropriate. How-
ever, we do feel that there is one vital guideline: If the run from your RR 2150
to a speaker is less than 40 feet, use speaker wire with a conductor diameter
that’s identified as “16 gauge” or lower. For longer runs, use a minimum of
14 gauge wiring.
Speaker Connections
Many Outlaws will use full range speakers with the RR 2150. These speakers
reproduce the entire audible range from a single enclosure. Some will aug-
ment their full range speakers’ bass output capability by adding a subwoofer.
In still other cases, some will use compact “monitor” or bookshelf speakers
with limited low end performance in combination with a separate subwoofer.
Regardless of the configuration, brand or model of your speakers, the RR 2150
is uniquely designed to provide outstanding sound quality.
If you’re confused by the “gauge,” you’re not alone. The standard in wire
measurements is called AWG, or American Wire Gauge. The AWG number refers
to the diameter of one conductor only (speaker wire has two conductors) and
smaller gauge numbers mean larger conductors. Here’s a short list of gauge
numbers and their corresponding diameters:
Physical Connection
The RR 2150 accommodates two separate pairs of speakers so that you may
have one pair in your main listening room and another in a remote location
such as a patio or the kitchen. Speaker connections are made the same way
for both sets of speakers, but always make certain that you connect a pair of
speakers, not just one. As the audio sent to both speakers is the same, it makes
no difference which pair is connected to which set of terminals, but most will
attach their main speakers to the System A terminals and secondary speakers
(if used) to the System B terminals.

You can see that “hardware store” 22 or 24 gauge wire is very thin. We don’t
recommend it for any serious audio application. Even 18 gauge “zip cord” (also
called “lamp cord”) is not that substantial. 16 gauge is our minimum recom-
mendation. 14 gauge is better. 12 gauge is excellent but is comparatively hard
to work with (it usually doesn’t bend easily and terminations – lugs or banana
The speaker connectors (RP19) are five-way connectors with gold-plated contact
areas that accept bare wires, pin terminations, “spade” lugs, “eye” lugs, and
banana plugs. The choice is yours.

Connecting Your RR 2150
Bare wire or pin terminations
Subwoofers and Bass Management Settings
Unscrew the outer barrel of the speaker connector until you see the hole
in its center post. Insert the conductor or pin into the hole and screw the
outer barrel tightly.
The RR 2150 is unique among stereo receivers in that it has built-in bass
management, a feature common, if not required, for multi-channel products,
but not found in the two-channel world. While traditional two-channel systems
have long used full-range speakers, modern audio systems – even those designed
for two-channel music – may use frequency limited bookshelf, or “satellite”
speakers in combination with a separate subwoofer.
• Spade lugs (they look like small two-pronged forks)
Unscrew the barrel enough to place the lug’s prongs around the inner
post and then retighten the barrel.
• Eye lugs (they are complete circles)
Unscrew the barrel completely until it comes off the post. Place the eye
around post, replace the barrel, and tighten.
Bass Management
Rather than provide a simple subwoofer output that places the burden of bass
management on the subwoofer, the RR 2150 includes a custom designed analog
bass management system that calls upon the heritage of Outlaw’s award win-
ning ICBM-1 bass management system for multi-channel systems.
• Banana plugs
Insert them into the holes in the end of each post/barrel assembly. Just
push them in carefully and you’re done.
The internal crossover is a symmetrical 2nd order (12 dB/octave) Butterworth
filter set. BP (Bypass)duplicates the full range signal sent to your speakers at the
subwoofer output. This enables you to utilize the crossover in your subwoofer.
CAUTION: DO NOT over tighten the barrels. This isn’t a contest of
strength. Just hand tighten the barrel enough to insure good contact
so that it is snug to the wire or termination device and the speaker
terminal.
If your system includes a subwoofer, read on for the configuration steps. If you
are not using a subwoofer, skip to the next section.
Subwoofers come in two varieties, powered and passive. Powered subwoofers
include their own built-in amplifier and are by far the most popular, while
passive subwoofers require the use of a separate, external amplifier. You can
use either type with your RR 2150.
Whichever type of termination you use, it is important to make sure that
the individual wire strands that make up each conductor bundle are tightly
wrapped together and that there are no frayed ends that protrude past the
speaker terminal or the wire termination for that conductor. This will prevent
short circuits and possible amplifier failure.
Powered subwoofers
Use a shielded interconnect cable to connect the RR 2150’s subwoofer output
jack (RP11F) to the subwoofer’s line input jack. If the subwoofer has more
than one input jack, check its owner’s manual to see which input you should
use for a monaural bass signal. Then follow any specific connection and/or
configuration instructions supplied with the subwoofer.
Remember these three points:
Make sure to observe proper continuity and polarity.
For continuity, make sure you connect your main Left speaker to System
A’s Left terminals and your main Right speaker to the System A’s Right
terminals. Then connect your secondary speakers to System B terminals,
making sure to connect the Left speaker to the Left terminals and the
Right speaker to the Right terminals. Care here will save a lot of time
later.
We suggest that you use the rear panel Bass Management switch (RP15) rather
than your powered sub’s internal crossover. You’ll find the RR 2150’s circuitry
exceptionally clean and noise-free compared to similar circuits in most subs.
Passive (non-amplified) subwoofer
Modified “bi-amp” option The modified “bi-amp” configuration uses the
RR 2150’s internal crossover and is used most often:
The RR 2150’s speaker connections are color-coded. Red terminals are “+”
or “hot” while black terminals are “–” or “ground.” For proper polarity,
make sure that you’ve connected the proper speaker’s “+” terminal (the
one with the red barrel) to your speaker’s “+” terminal. Then connect the
“–“ terminal (it has a black barrel) to the same speaker’s “–“ terminal.
It’s that simple.
Set the RR 2150’s Bass Management switch to the crossover frequency (60, 80,
or 100 Hz) that is appropriate for your speakers.
Connect the RR 2150’s subwoofer output jack (RP18) to the input of the ampli-
fier used to power the subwoofer and the output of the subwoofer amplifier to
the subwoofer.
A Note On Phase
When speakers are connected correctly, they are said to be “in phase.” This is
critical to proper sound reproduction as it means that the drivers in each speaker
work together, with the cones in each speaker moving in the same direction
at the same time. When speakers are hooked up “out of phase,” the drivers
in each speaker respond differently to the amplifier’s signal. For example, the
drivers of the left speaker will push out when the drivers of the right speaker
pull in, producing a very imprecise, almost “ghostly,” stereo image or poor bass
performance. No, there’s nothing dangerous about hooking speakers up “out
of phase.” You won’t damage anything, it just doesn’t sound good.
Traditional“bi-amp”option The traditional “bi-amp” configuration requires
an external electronics crossover and separate power amplifier:
Set the Bass Management switch (RP15) to BP (bypass). Remove the U-shaped
jumpers that connect the RR 2150’s preamp outputs (RP16) and power amp
inputs (RP17).
Connect the RR 2150’s preamp outputs to the crossover’s inputs. Connect the
crossover’s high pass outputs to the RR 2150’s main amp inputs. Then connect
the crossover’s low pass outputs to the inputs of the amplifier you will use to
drive your subwoofer and connect that amplifier to the subwoofer.
Adjust the crossover to best integrate the output of the wide range speakers
and the subwoofer.

External Amplifier Connections
Using an external amplifier to send a second source to a second set
You can use a separate, external power amplifier either as a substitute for the
RR 2150’s internal amp or to supplement the internal amp when adding addi-
tional speakers in a different area of your home. Remember that the RR 2150
is not designed for “dual source” operation. (Although the “Tape” outputs may
be used for that purpose if they are not connected to a recorder.) An additional
amplifier will only amplify the source you select with the RR 2150’s input selec-
tor (FP17 and RC11 for front panel and remote control respectively).
of speakers.
Do not remove the pre-out/main-in jumpers. Connect the RR 2150’s Tape
outputs (RP13) to the external amplifier’s inputs. (This, of course, assumes
you are not using the Tape connections.) Next, connect the speakers to the
external amplifier.
Use the RR 2150’s volume control to adjust the level to the speakers connected
to the RR 2150.
As with any component that is connected to the RR 2150, always make sure that
both the RR 2150 and the additional amplifier are OFF or disconnected from
any AC power source when making these connections. A misstep here could
result in severe damage to your amplifier and/or loudspeakers.
The input for the source fed to the external amplifier and the speakers connected
to it is selected with the front panel Record Selector (FP 18). As the output to the
Tape Outputs is fixed, we strongly advise that you either use an amplifier with
built-in volume control for this application, or that an optional speaker-level
volume control be installed between the outputs of the external amplifier and
the speakers. Be certain that the volume control is capable of handling the
power output from your external amplifier.
There are a number of options available to connect an external amplifier:
OptiOn 1:
Using an external amplifier only.
Remove the pre-out/main-in U-shaped jumpers. Connect the RR 2150’s pre-
amplifier outputs (RP17) to the external amplifier’s inputs. Next, connect your
speakers to the external amplifier.
NOTE: As with Option 3, this is best suited for a custom installation to
make certain that all external components are properly matched for
safe operation.
This option lets you control the volume produced by any speakers connected
to the new amplifier with the RR 2150’s volume control.
1ꢀ Volt Trigger
The RR 2150 has one 12 volt Trigger output that output offers a 12 volt DC
signal that can be used to control compatible external components such as
amplifiers, blinds and projection screens.
OptiOn 2:
Using an external amplifier AnD the RR 2150’s internal amplifier
for two sets of speakers fed with the same source and at the same
relative volume level.
Remove the pre-out/main-in U-shaped jumpers. Using a pair of shielded a
“Y” interconnects, connect the RR 2150’s left channel preamp output to both
the RR 2150’s main amplifier inputs and to the left channel inputs of the new
amplifier. Repeat the step above for the right channel.
To control an external device such as an Outlaw power amplifier with the RR
2150, connect the Trigger Output (RP5) on the rear panel to the matching
“Trigger” or “Control” input on the external component.
Once the two units are connected, the external component will turn on when
the RR 2150 is on, and off when the RR 2150 is turned off.
This option lets you control the volume produced by any speakers connected
to the new amplifier with the RR 2150’s volume control.
AC power connection
OptiOn 3:
Insert the supplied power cord into the AC input socket (RP20), and then con-
nect it to a non-switched AC outlet. If a power conditioner or other device is
used between the RR 2150 and the AC power source it is your responsibility to
make certain that the external device is capable of handling the power drawn
by the RR 2150. Use of external power products not compatible with the RR 2150
may create a safety hazard.
Using the RR 2150’s internal amplifier and external amplifier for two
sets of speakers fed with the same source, but with the ability to
turn the second pair of speakers on an off from the front panel.
Do not remove the pre-out/main-in jumpers. Connect the RR 2150’s External
Loop outputs (RP14) to the external amplifier’s inputs. (This, of course, pre-
sumes that you are not using the External Loop connections.) Next, connect
the speakers to the external amplifier. You will still be able to connect speakers
to the RR 2150’s amplifier.
It is important use the supplied power cord, not a standard IEC 3-prong
(grounded) power cord. If the power cord is replaced, by certain to use one
with identical configuration and capacity.
The RR 2150’s volume control sets the relative level for both pairs of speakers.
You may turn the speakers connected to the external amplifier on or off by
pressing the External Loop switch on the front panel.
CAUTION: Before you plug the power cord into an AC wall outlet,
confirm that you’ve made all connections to the RR2150 first.
NOTE: This option is best suited for a custom installation and may
require a separate volume control for the speakers attached to the
external amplifier.
WARNING: Never disconnect the power cord at the RR 2150 end
while the other end is still plugged into an AC outlet. This may cause
an electric shock. Always connect power by plugging into the AC outlet
last and disconnect by unplugging from the AC outlet first.

Speaker A/B Selection
The RR 2150 allows you to connect two pairs of speakers, each of which will be
sent the same output signal. Four options are available, depending on where
you set the Speaker Selector Switch (FP14).
Power
To turn the RR ꢀ150 on:
1. Turn the rear panel MASTER POWER switch (RP8) on.
Set the switch to the “A” position to listen to speakers connected to the
“A” speaker output terminals only.
The front panel blue Standby LED (FP10) will glow amber.
Set the switch to the “B” position to listen to speakers connected to the
“B” speaker output terminals only.
ꢀ. Press the front panel’s STAnDBY button (FP10) or any source button
(RC11) on the remote control.
The Standby indicator will go out and the front panel display will

RR 2150.
To turn the RR ꢀ150 off:
Press the front panel’s STAnDBY button (FP10) or the remote control’s
PWR button (RC16).
Speaker EQ
The RR 2150’s unique speaker EQ circuit allows you to add an additional 6dB
(about one-half octave) of bass at and below a specific frequency to increase the
low end performance of traditional bookshelf speakers. Particularly with sealed
(rather than ported) designs with eight or ten inch mid-range drivers, this circuit
helps compensate for the roll-off at the low end of the speaker’s range. It is not
generally recommended for use when a separate subwoofer is connected.
The Standby indicator will turn amber and the front-panel display
will turn off.
NOTE: The rear panel Master Power Switch is normally left in the “ON”
position, as that enables the unit to be placed in a Standby mode so that
it may be turned on or off from the front panel or the remote control. The
only times the rear panel switch should be turned off in normal opera-
tion is if the RR 2150 will not be used for an extended period of time, or if
you wish to connect or disconnect a component or speaker.

ꢀ. Turn the SPEAkER EQ switch (FP15) to the frequency that is either
at that frequency, or one notch above it.
There is no hard rule as to which way to set this, if indeed you feel it contributes
to the sound of your system at all. A variety of conditions, including the type
of speakers in use, the room acoustics and your personal listening preferences
are all factors here. If you like the way the system sounds, choose the setting
that works best for you.
To listen to the RR ꢀ150 using headphones:
1. Plug in any pair of headphones using a standard 1/4 inch stereo

NOTE: The RR 2150’s volume control also affects headphone output.
So, if you want a truly private headphone experience, turn the Speaker
selector (FP14) off.
Adjusting Tone Controls
The RR 2150 offers front panel tone controls that may be adjusted to suit your
listening taste. You may also take the tone controls out of the circuit completely
for “flat” operation.
Recording
The RR 2150 allows you to send the signal from any input source to a record-
ing device properly connected to the rear panel Tape jacks (RP13). Note that
unlike many current audio products, the RR 2150 has a separate record output
bus so that you may listen to one source (selected with the remote control or
the front panel Source control) and record a different source. It is important
to remember this, as you may be used to always having the source you are
listening to being sent to the record output.
To adjust the Tone controls:
1. Press the TOnE OFF button (FP1) so that the button’s blue LED is
off.

the next lower or higher frequency regardless of whether or not that frequency
carries a broadcast. In this mode, FM stations are tuned regardless of whether
the broadcast is mono or stereo.
ꢀ. Press the SLEEP button repeatedly until you’ve chosen the amount
of “sleep time” you want.
The available choices are:
Auto Tuning This mode uses the Up or Down tuning buttons to advance to
the next higher (or lower) frequency in the band you’ve selected that has a
signal strong enough for acceptable reception. In this mode only FM stations
broadcasting stereo signals are tuned.

Programming the Remote Control
Searching for Unknown Codes
Programming the Remote Control
If your device does not respond to the remote after you have tried all codes
listed for your brand, or if your brand is not listed at all, you can try searching
for the code.
In addition to the RR 2150 itself, the remote control can operate up to three
other devices, and is preprogrammed with command codes for hundreds of
components.
To search for a code for your component:
To program your remote for another device, you will first input a single digit
device code, followed by a four-digit code from the table in the following pages.
Before you start that process, here are some things you need to be aware of:
1. Press the Device Control Selector button (RC2) on the remote control
that corresponds to the device you want to control.
Remember that the RR button is used exclusively for the RR 2150.
ꢀ. Press and hold the RR 2150 remote control’s SETUP button (RC1).
The red LED at the top of the remote control (RC15) blinks twice.
More than one setup code number may work with a source component.
Test the functions for each of the code numbers that work to determine
the best one for your particular unit.
Some components (CD and DVD players, for example) do not have power

buttons on their original remote controls and thus may not turn on or off
as you expect. If you run into problems, first store the setup code number
and then test functions (Play, Stop, etc.) to determine if you’ve selected
the correct number.
ꢂ. Enter 990 using the numeric keys on the remote control (RC3).
The LED will blink twice.
5. To determine the first number in the code sequence, aim the remote
control at the component and press 1 on the numeric keypad (RC3)
of the RR 2150 remote control.
Setup Using Preprogrammed Codes
To program the remote control using four-digit codes:
After three seconds, the LED will blink to indicate that number: i.e.,
1 blink = 1, 2 blinks = 2, and so on. Note that no blink indicates the
number zero (0).
1. Turn on the device (TV, VCR, cable box) you would like the remote
control to operate.
6. Count the blinks and write down the number.
Do this manually or with the device’s original remote control.
ꢀ. Find the four-digit setup code number for your device.
The tables of four-digit codes can be found on pages 24 to 26.
7. Repeat step for each of the other four digits: Press 2 for the second
digit, 3 for the third, 4 for the fourth, and 5 for the fifth.
8. Use the resulting five-digit code (1 digit device code and 4 digit
program code) to program the RR 2150 remote control to operate
the device according to steps 3-8 in the previous section “Setup
Using Preprogrammed Codes.”
ꢁ. On the RR 2150 remote control, press the proper device selector
button (RC2) that corresponds to the device you want to control.
Remember that the RR button is used exclusively for the RR 2150.
ꢂ. Press and hold the RR 2150 remote control’s SETUP button (RC1).
The red LED at the top of the remote control (RC15) blinks twice.
5. Release the SETUP button.
9. Repeat these steps, but substitute the appropriate device button,
for the next component you are checking.
Some General Comments on Using Your Remote
For best remote control performance, please follow these guidelines:
6. Enter the single-digit device code for your component using the

on the RR 2150, not toward the TV screen.
Press “0” if you are programming a Cable or Satellite box.
Press “1” if you are programming a Television.
Press “2” if you are programming a VCR or DVD player.
Press “3” if you are programming a CD player.
Place the 2150 away from strong light such as direct sunlight or fluorescent
light, which can interfere with the infrared pulses generated by the remote
control.
Using another remote control of a similar type or placing the RR 2150
near equipment which also uses infrared control may cause interference
and intermittent operation.
7. Enter the first four-digit code for your component using the numeric
keys on the remote control (RC3).
The LED should blink twice. If it does not, repeat the steps above using
the same code.
Do not put anything (other than your hands, of course) on the remote
control. If the buttons are continuously pressed by mistake, you’ll probably
drain the batteries.
8. Aim the remote control at the component and press the PWR button
(RC16) once.
If you put your RR 2150 in a closet or behind wood or smoked/colored

glass doors, you’ll probably have to mount an infrared sensor outside the
cabinet or closet and connect the sensor to the RR 2150’s rear panel IR
input (RP2A).
If none of the codes work, try searching for the code (see “Searching
For Your Code,” below).
If there’s an obstacle between the remote control and the front panel
remote control sensor, the remote control will not operate. Remember
that IR (infrared) is primarily a “line of sight” control mechanism.
9. Repeat the process for other components you wish to control with
the RR 2150 remote control.

Troubleshooting
Care and Maintenance
Troubleshooting
Your new RR 2150 is designed to provide years of trouble-free operation. However,
the complexity of today’s sophisticated home theater systems means that you
might encounter an occasional problem with your system. You’ll find some of
the more common issues listed below.
Cleaning
To clean normal dust, wipe your RR 2150 with a clean, soft, dry cloth.
If the dirt has really accumulated (Outlaws aren’t always the most meticulous
people, are they?), first wipe the surface with a soft cloth that’s slightly damp-
ened with mild soapy water. Follow that with a fresh cloth dampened with clean
water. Wipe dry immediately!
You can also look at the RR 2150 section of our website (www.outlawaudio.com),
or enter the RR 2150 Section of our Outlaw Saloon. If your problem persists,
please call us at 866-OUTLAWS (688-5297) or 866-OUTLAWA (688-5292).
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’re Away
If you will not be using your home theater system for an extended period of
time, it’s always a good idea to turn everything off.
For the RR 2150, this means unlatching the rear panel’s Master Power switch
(RP8). This will prevent the automatic turn on circuits from accidentally
turning the system on during your absence.
You may want to unplug all your other components, too.
If you think there’s a possibility of electrical storms during your absence,
it’s also a very good idea to disconnect all “downleads” (cable and satellite
antenna connections, etc.) to prevent high voltage spikes that may damage
your components.
