personnel.

Warning: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not

expose this appliance to rain or moisture.

The lightning flash with arrowhead, within an equilateral triangle, is

intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated

“dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of

sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electrical shock to

persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to

alert the user to the presence of important operating maintenance

(servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the

appliance.

Warning: Important Safeguards

•Read instructions: All safety and operating instructions

should be read before the unit is operated.

•Retain instructions: The safety and operating instructions

should be retained for future reference.

•Heed warnings: All warnings on the unit and in the operating

instructions should be adhered to.

•Follow instructions: All operating and use instructions

should be followed.

•Water and Moisture: Do not use the unit near water – for

example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, laundry

tub; in a wet basement; or near a swimming pool.

•Accessories: Do not place the unit on an unstable cart,

stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The unit may fall, causing

serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the

unit. Any mounting of the unit should follow the

manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a mounting

accessory recommended by the manufacturer.

•Wall or Ceiling Mounting: The unit should be mounted to a

wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.

•Ventilation: Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided

for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the unit and

to protect it from overheating, and these openings must not

be blocked or covered. The openings should never be

blocked by placing the unit on a bed, sofa, rug, or other

similar surface. The unit should not be placed in a built-in

installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper

ventilation is provided. There should be free space of at least

3 - 6 in. (7.6 - 15.25 cm) and an opening behind the unit.

•Heat: The unit should be situated away from heat sources

such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other units

(including amplifiers) that produce heat.

•Power Sources: The unit should be operated only from the

type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you

are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home,

consult your unit dealer or local power company.

•Grounding or Polarization: The unit may be equipped with a

polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one

blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power

outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are

unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the

plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact a licensed

electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the

safety purpose of the polarized plug.

•Power-Cord Protection: Power-supply cords should be

routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched

by items placed upon or against them, paying particular

attention to cords where they enter a plug, a convenience

receptacle, and the point where they exit from the unit.

•Lightning: For 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

any antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to

the unit due to lighting and power-line surges.

•Cleaning: unplug the unit from the wall outlet before

cleaning. The unit should be cleaned only as recommended

by the manufacturer.

•Overloading: Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords,

or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk

of fire or electric shock.

•Object and Liquid Entry: Never push objects of any kind

into the unit through openings as they may touch dangerous

voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or

electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the unit.

•Servicing: Do not attempt to service the unit yourself as

opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous

voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified

service personnel.

•Damage Requiring Service: Unplug the unit from the wall

outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under

the following conditions:

When the power supply cord or plug is damaged,

If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the unit,

If the unit has been exposed to rain or water,

If the unit does not operate normally by following the

operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are

covered by the operating instructions as an improper

adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will

often require extensive work by a qualified technician to

restore the unit to its normal operation,

If the unit has been dropped or damaged in any way, and

great care should be exercised in handling, and the unit

should be examined by qualified service personnel,

When the unit exhibits a distinct change in performance (this

indicates a need for service).

•Replacement Parts: When replacement parts are

required, be sure the replacement parts used have the

same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized

substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other

hazards.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE

Before connecting a new component such as the RR2160MkII to your

audio or home theater system it is always good practice to make

certain that all components are turned off, and preferably

unplugged from their AC power source. Many modern electronics

products feature automatic turn-on circuits that may be activated

during an installation, causing the potential for damage to

electronic components and/or speakers. Such damage is not

covered by product warranties and Outlaw Audio specifically

disclaims responsibility for any such damage.

RR2160 MkII Owner’s Manual

Outlaw Audio RR2160 MkII Stereo RetroReceiver 4

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 refrigerators. This will lessen the possibility of

power variation and electrical start-up noise affecting your sound

system.

Power Cord

The removable power cord that is shipped with the RR2160 MkII 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 RR2160 MkII. Should the power cord

require replacement, use an identical type, or contact Outlaw

Audio for service.

Handle the AC Power Cord Gently

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

RR2160 MkII 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.

AC Fuse

The fuse is located inside the chassis and is not user-service-able.

If power does not come on, contact Outlaw Audio.

Wiring

Cables that are run inside of walls should have the appropriate

markings to indicate compliance 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 RR2160 MkII 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 three

to six 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.

If the unit is to be enclosed in a cabinet or rack, make certain there

is adequate air circulation. 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

surface, as this will inhibit airflow underneath as well as create a

potential fire hazard.

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.

Recording Copyright

Recording of copyrighted material for other than personal use is

illegal without permission of the copyright holder.

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.

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.

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.

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.

If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or

television reception, which can be determined by turning the

Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different

from that to which the receiver is connected.

Outdoor Antenna Installation

Safe Antenna and cable Connection

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the

equipment, be sure the antenna 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 grounding

electrode.

Keep Antenna Clear of High Voltage Power Lines or Circuits

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.

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

FCC Radiation Exposure Statement

This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for

an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and

operated with a minimum distance of 20cm between the radiator and

your body

Connecting Your RR2160

MkII

Before trying to connect your RR2160

MkII to other

system components, please observe the following

simple precautions:

• Don’t connect the power cord to either the AC

outlet or your RR 2160 until you’ve made all

other connections.

• Always turn off any device before connecting it

to the RR2160

MkII. Better yet, unplug the device

from its AC power source, as automatic turn-on

signals may inadvertently turn the product on.

Better safe than sorry!

• Always pay attention to the warnings, options,

and specific procedures contained in the

instructions that came with the component

you’re connecting.

• For analog connections, remember that

red input jacks = right channel audio

white input jacks = left channel audio

• Insert all plugs and connectors securely. If you

don’t, you may experience noise, poor

performance, or equipment damage.

• DO NOT bundle audio connection cables with

power cords and speaker cables. To get the

performance you expect, run all the power

cords down one side of the cabinet, all the

signal connections down the other side, and

the speaker cables down the center.

• Connect your speakers after you’ve connected

all your other components to the RR2160

MkII

but before you connect the power cord.

Connecting and Using an Antenna

The RR2160

MkII has an internal FM/FM Stereo/

HD tuner with a connection for the FM

antennae.

FM Antenna

Connect the supplied FM dipole antenna by

screwing the antenna’s coaxial connector onto the

FM antenna connector (R6).

Note: This antenna is for indoor use only. For best

reception, fully extend the antenna and

experiment with its positioning to get the strongest

signal. If FM reception with the supplied indoor

antenna does not provide a strong enough signal

for acceptable reception, we recommend using an

optional amplified indoor or high-gain outdoor

antenna.

RR2160 MkII Owner’s Manual

Outlaw Audio RR2160 MkII Stereo RetroReceiver 12

WiFi Antenna

Use this antenna to pull a WiFi signal in situations

where a wired Ethernet connection cannot be

connected to the rear of the RR2160

MkII.

Experiment with the antenna’s position to obtain

the strongest signal.

Connecting Source Components

Connect your input sources as shown below.

Once the source is connected you may select it by

pressing the front panel Source selector (F18) to

step through your various input choices. The

RR2160

MkII 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 (R14). 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 (R15).

Finally, set the phono cartridge sensitivity selector

switch (R13) 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.

USB

Use a “fast USB” cable to connect a Windows or

Mac based computer to the RR2160

MkII’s

rear panel USB 2.0 input (R5).

Recording Device

Using shielded RCA-to-RCA cables, connect your

recording device’s analog audio outputs to one of

the RR2160

MkII’s analog inputs (R16-R19). Next,

connect your recording device’s analog audio

inputs to the RR2160

MkII’s L/R Record outputs

(R20).

There are two points you need to remember:

• The REC outputs “fixed-level” in that they are

not affected by the RR2160 MkII’s volume control.

• You must select the source you want to record

by using the Record Selector (F19 or C5).

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.

Aux

Connect a music player, smartphone, tablet,

streaming adapter or any other playback device

with a stereo 3.5 mm jack for either headphone or

line-level output to the RR2160

MkII’s front panel Aux

input (F13).

CD/DVD/BD/Video

Using shielded RCA-to-RCA cables, connect the

analog audio outputs of a CD, DVD, Blu-ray Disc

player, or A/V source (VCR, satellite or cable box,

etc.) to one set of the RR 2160’s analog inputs

(R16-R19). As with other sources, make sure to

connect Left to Left and Right to Right. To connect

the BTR-250D, you can use the 3.5mm to RCA

cable suppled with the BTR. For sources that offer

a coaxial or optical digital output, they may be

connected to a coaxial or optical digital input

instead of an analog input.

NOTE: The RR2160

MkII does not have any video

inputs for a DVD/BD player or other video device.

Any video connections should be made directly to

an appropriate input on your display device.

Ethernet

Connect the RR2160

MkII to your home network with

an Ethernet cable for access to Internet Radio.

External Loop

Description of External Loop

This external processor loop (R21) allows you to

insert a wide variety of external devices such as

equalizers or surround processors into the

RR2160

MkII’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 (F16) 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. In addition,

the input of the External Loop may be used alone

as an additional input.

RR2160 MkII Owner’s Manual

Outlaw Audio RR2160 MkII Stereo RetroReceiver 13

External Loop Connections

Using shielded RCA-to-RCA cables, connect the

external processor’s analog audio outputs to the

RR2160

MkII’s L & R analog audio inputs. Next,

connect the external processor’s analog audio

inputs to the RR2160

MkII’s analog audio outputs.

Remember these two points.

• You must push the front panel External Loop

button (F16) or the LOOP button of the

Source/Input selector buttons on the remote

(C3) to route the audio signal to and from the

external processor. The button’s blue LED will

light when the external loop is active.

• The external processor loop is a “fixed level”

loop. The loop output is not affected by the

RR2160

MkII’s Master Volume Control.

Preamplifier Outputs/Main Amplifier Inputs

The RR2160

MkII 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 RR2160

MkII. However, if you wish to

use an optional, external amplifier, remove the

jumper plugs and connect the left and right output

jacks on the RR2160

MkII to the matching inputs on

your amplifier. Save the jumper plugs for use

should you later wish to return to normal

operation.

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.

To connect an external processor so that it is

always in the audio path, remove the two U

shaped jumpers. As noted above, you will want to

put them someplace safe in case you need them

later. You may want to store them with this

manual or bag and tape them to the rear or

underside of the RR2160

MkII.

Connect the RR2160

MkII’s L & R Preamp audio

outputs (R23) to the inputs of the external

processor. Next, connect the outputs of the

external processor to the RR2160

MkII’s Main amp

audio inputs (R24).

Loudspeaker Connections

The connections between the RR2160

MkII 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. However, we do

feel that there is one vital guideline: If the run from

your RR 2160 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.

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:

12 gauge .0808"

14 gauge .0641"

16 gauge .0508"

18 gauge .0402"

22 gauge .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. Our minimum recommendation is

16 gauge, and 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 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. Wherever possible, the same

length of speaker wire should be used for both

speakers, even if one is positioned closer to the

RR2160

MkII than the other.

Speaker Connections

Many Outlaws will use full range speakers with the

RR2160 MkII. These speakers reproduce the entire

audible range from a single enclosure. Some will

augment 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 RR2160 MkII is uniquely designed to provide

outstanding sound quality.

The speaker binding posts (R12 and R26) are

five-way connectors with gold-plated contact

areas that accept bare wire, pin terminations,

spade lugs, and banana plugs.

The choice is yours.

NOTE: You can use two pairs of loudspeakers

(A and B) with the RR2160 MkII, but when

doing so it is important to use speakers of the

proper impedance rating. The RR2160 is rated

to handle speaker loads as low as 4 Ohms.

When using two pairs of speakers, the speakers

are connected in parallel. As a result, two sets

of 8 Ohm speakers become a 4 ohm load when

run at the same time. Two sets of 6 Ohm load

speakers running at once result in a 3 Ohm load,

which can cause power transformer problems

and result in power transformer failure. Lower

impedance speakers (6 and 4 ohm) may be

used as either Speaker A or speaker B, but

cannot be run simultaneously (A + B).

Physical Connections

The RR2160 MkII 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 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 pairs

of speakers is the same, it makes no difference which

pair is connected to which set of terminals.

RR2160 MkII Owner’s Manual

Outlaw Audio RR2160 MkII Stereo RetroReceiver 16

Bare Wire or Pin Terminations

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.

• Spade Lugs: These 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.

• Banana Plugs: Insert them into the holes in the

end of each post/barrel assembly. Just push

them in carefully and you’re done.

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.

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.

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

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.

• The RR2160

MkII’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.

A Note On Polarity/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 won’t

sound good.

Subwoofers and Bass Management Settings

The RR2160

MkII 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 speakers.

Bass Management

Rather than provide a simple subwoofer output

that places the burden of bass management on

the subwoofer, the RR2160

MkII includes a custom

designed analog bass management system. 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.

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 RR2160

MkII.

Powered Subwoofers

Use a shielded interconnect cable to connect

either of the RR2160

MkII’s subwoofer output jacks

(R25) 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.

We suggest that you use the rear panel Bass

Management switch (R22) rather than your

powered sub’s internal crossover. You’ll find the

RR2160

MkII’s circuitry exceptionally clean and free

of noise compared to similar circuits in most subs.

Passive (non-amplified) subwoofer

Modified “bi-amp” option: The modified “bi-

amp” configuration uses the RR2160

MkII’s internal

crossover and is used most often:

Set the RR2160

MkII’s Bass Management switch

(R22) to the crossover frequency (60, 80, or

100 Hz) that is appropriate for your speakers.

Connect one of the RR2160

MkII’s subwoofer output

jacks (R25) to the input of the amplifier used to

power the subwoofer and the output of the

subwoofer amplifier to the subwoofer.

Traditional “bi-amp” option: The traditional “bi-

amp” configuration requires an external

electronics crossover and separate power

amplifier:

Set the Bass Management switch (R22) to BP

(bypass). Remove the U-shaped jumpers that

connect the preamp outputs (R23) and

power amp inputs (R24).

Connect the RR2160

MkII’s preamp outputs to the

crossover’s inputs. Connect the crossover’s high

pass outputs to the RR2160

MkII’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

You can use a separate, external power amplifier

either as a substitute for the RR2160

MkII’s internal

amp or to supplement the internal amp when

adding additional speakers in a different area of

your home. If following Option 1 or Option 2 listed

below, an additional amplifier will only amplify the

source you select with the RR2160

MkII’s input

selector (F18 and C3 for front panel and remote

control respectively).

As with any component that is connected to the

RR2160

MkII, always make sure that both the

RR2160

MkII 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.

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 preamplifier outputs (R23) to the

external amplifier’s inputs. Next, connect your

speakers to the external amplifier.

This option lets you control the volume produced

by any speakers connected to the new amplifier

with the RR2160

MkII’s volume control.

Option 2:

Using an external amplifier AND the RR2160

MkII’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 RCA “Y” interconnects,

connect the RR2160

MkII’s left channel preamp output

to both the RR2160

MkII’s main amplifier inputs and to

the left channel inputs of the new amplifier.

Repeat the step above for the right channel.

This option lets you control the volume produced

by any speakers connected to the new amplifier

with the RR2160

MkII’s volume control.

Option 3:

Using the External Loop as an additional audio

output.

Although the EXTERNAL LOOP IN can be used

as an additional input, the EXTERNAL LOOP

OUT can be used to send audio to another

receiver or integrated amplifier.

As the EXTERNAL LOOP OUT is always sending

the active signal out at a fixed level, you would not

want to connect it directly to an amplifier unless it

had an external volume control.

Option 4:

Using an external amplifier to send a second

source to a second set of speakers.

Do not remove the pre-out/main-in jumpers.

Connect the RR2160

MkII’s REC OUT outputs (R20)

to the external amplifier’s inputs. Next, connect

the speakers to the external amplifier.

Use the RR2160

MkII’s volume control to adjust the

level to the speakers connected to the RR2160

MkII.

The input for the source fed to the external

amplifier and the speakers connected to it is

selected with the front panel Record Selector

(F19). As the output 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.

Note: In regards to the second zone, if you wish to

monitor only the same source as your main zone

all the time, you can utilize the External Loop OUT

instead of the REC OUT.

12 Volt Trigger

The RR2160

MkII has two 12 volt Trigger outputs that

provide a 12 volt DC signal that can be used to

control compatible external components such as

amplifiers, blinds and projection screens.

To control an external device such as an Outlaw

power amplifier with the RR2160

MkII, connect either

one of the Trigger Outputs (R9) 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 RR2160

MkII is on,

and off when the RR2160

MkII is turned off.

IR Input and Output

The RR2160

MkII has an IR input and IR output that

can be used with external IR remote sensors.

To use the RR2160

MkII’s remote when the receiver

is concealed, connect an external IR sensor to the

IR Input. A 3.5mm mono cable may be connected

to the IR Output to pass the IR signals through to

an additional concealed component, such as a CD

player.

USB Power Ports

These ports may be used to supply 5 VDC power

to phones, tablets or other accessories. The total

current draw cannot exceed 1000ma. These ports

do not enable the "Fast Charge" mode on some

phones.

AC Power Connection

Insert the supplied power cord into the AC input

socket (R27), and then connect it to a non-

switched AC outlet. If a power conditioner or other

device is used between the receiver 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 receiver. Use of

external power products not compatible with the

RR2160

MkII may create a safety hazard.

It is important to use the supplied power cord, not

a standard IEC 3-prong (grounded) power cord. If

the power cord is replaced, be certain to use one

with identical configuration and capacity.

CAUTION: Before you plug the power cord into an

AC wall outlet, confirm that you’ve made all

connections to the RR2160

MkII first.

WARNING: Never disconnect the power cord

at the RR2160

MkII 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.
