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.  
grounding elec-  
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  
Use a “fast USB” cable to connect a compatible USB-enabled source component  
to the RR 2150’s rear panel USB 2.0 input (RP6).  
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.

18 gauge  
22 gauge  
.0808"  
.0641"  
.0508"  
.0402"  
.0254"  
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.  
Traditionalbi-ampoption 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.

Set the switch to “OFF” to disable all speakers connected to the  
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.

Operation  
To activate Speaker EQ:  
Using Headphones  
1. Look at the specification for your speakers and check for the lowest

critical listening. Be aware that the headphone experience is not the same as  
using speakers. Although some listeners prefer headphones, most prefer the  
loudspeaker experience better. It’s your choice.  
frequency your speakers are able to reproduce.  
ꢀ. 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  
headphone jack into the front panel input (F11).  
For headphones used with portable devices, you may need a 3.5mm to  
1/4 inch adaptor available at most electronics parts stores.  
To activate Speaker EQ:  
ꢀ. Use the HEADPHOnE LEVEL (FP12) control to the right of the

turned to its maximum boost. That is almost guaranteed to provide an  
undesirable result!  
adjust the sound output of the headphones.  
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.  
This activates the tone control circuitry.  
ꢀ. Turn the BASS control knob (FP2) clockwise or counterclockwise.  
You can adjust the bass cut or boost within a range of 6 dB. The center  
detent represents the setting where bass is neither added or removed.  
To record from a selected input source:  
1. Prepare your recording device.  
ꢁ. Turn the TREBLE control knob (FP5) clockwise or counter-  
Follow the recommended procedure from the recorder manufacturer  
about input settings, levels etc.  
clockwise.  
You can adjust the treble cut or boost within a range of 6 dB. The center  
detent represents the setting where treble is neither added or removed.  
ꢀ. Select the source you want to record by using the front panel  
RECORD selector (FP18).  
To disable the Tone controls:  
ꢁ. Place the device in record mode to begin recording.  
Press the TOnE OFF button (FP1)  
To monitor your recording:  
The button’s blue LED will light to remind you that the tone controls  
are deactivated.  
Set the SOURCE selector (FP17) to your recording device.  
Audio from your recording device will play through the RR 2150.  
Balance Adjustment  
To listen to another source during recording:  
The left/right balance of the RR 2150’s output may be adjusted by using the  
Balance Control.  
Set the SOURCE selector (FP17) to the desired input source.  
Audio from the selected source will play through the RR 2150. Audio to  
the recording will not be affected.  
To adjust the balance:  
Turn the BALAnCE control knob (FP3) clockwise or counter-  
clockwise.  
Turning the knob clockwise emphasizes the right speaker more. Turning  
the knob counterclockwise emphasizes the left speaker.

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.

The current frequency will go blank on the front panel display.  
To select a preset station:  
ꢀ. Use the 10 numeric keys on the remote control (RC3) to enter the  
desired frequency.  
With tuner selected as your source, enter the two digit preset number  
of the desired station using the 10 numeric keys on the remote  
control (RC3).  
For example, to enter 89.3 FM, simply punch in 893. The numbers will  
appear on the front panel display as you key them in.  
Preset Tune  
The tuner will automatically tune to the new frequency.  
You manually tune to the stations you’ve already programmed into the RR 2150’s  
memory. You may do this from either the remote or the front panel.  
Memorizing Your Favorite Stations  
Once you have tuned to a station, you may enter it into the RR 2150’s memory  
so that it may be easily recalled for future listening. The tuner memory holds  
up to 39 stations in any order you choose – it even intermixes FM and AM  
frequencies.  
To manually scan through your preset stations:  
With tuner selected as your source, press the PRESET UP or PRESET  
DOWn buttons on the remote control (RC23 and RC24) until the  
desired station is heard.  
OR  
NOTE: Although you can use the front panel controls to program your

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.

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:

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  
Thecomponentshouldturnoff. Ifitdoesn’trespond, repeatsteps4-7above

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.
