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

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

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
contact us. Also, do not place the RR2160 MkII directly on a carpeted
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

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

continuous 12VDC signal that may be used to
control optional external amplifiers from Outlaw
and other brands, as well as other compatible
accessories.
R10 IR Input/Output (Page 18)
When your RR2160
MkII is hidden behind doors that
prevent the remote control from “seeing” the front
panel IR sensor, you may connect an optional,
external IR sensor to this 3.5mm mini-plug. To
send the IR signal to another product in a “daisy
change” configuration, connect the IR Out jack to
another product with a compatible IR system.

sources such as a CD player, DVD/Blu-ray
Disc player, network media player, Bluetooth
or streaming adapter or dongle, satellite or
cable box to these jacks.
R20 Record Output jacks (Pages 12, 24)
Connect analog audio inputs from your
recording device or encoder for digital storage
to these jacks.
Note: These are fixed-level outputs and are not
affected by the RR2160
MkII’s volume control. If
you’re using a portable recording device
(MiniDisc recorder, etc.), you may use shielded
stereo “Y” cords (3.5 mm stereo miniplug to
two RCA-type jacks) to go from it to the
RR2160
MkII.
R21 External Processor Loop connections
(Page 12)
Connect an external processor (equalizer,
electronic crossover, surround processor, etc.)
to these jacks. These outputs are also fixed-
level. The Loopinput may also be used as an
additional analog input.
R22 Bass Management selector switch
(Page 16)
This switch lets you adjust the internal
crossover (bass management system) to route
user-selected low frequencies to the
subwoofer output (R25) while the rest of the
audio signal is sent to the amplifier and then to
the main loudspeakers.
R23 Preamplifier outputs (Page 17)
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.
Note: Removing the jumpers means that the
RR2160
MkII’s internal amplifier does not receive a
signal and cannot send any output to the
speakers connected to it. Use shielded “Y”
cords to connect both the internal amplifier and
another amplifier to the receiver’s preamp
section.
R24 Main Amp inputs (Page 17)
These inputs are normally connected to the
preamplifier outputs by jumpers. (See R23
above.)
R25 Subwoofer outputs (Page 17)
Connect a powered subwoofer to either the
SUB1 or SUB2 output. Make sure you’ve set
the Bass Management selector switch (R22)
correctly. The output from this connector is
variable and controlled by the Master Volume
setting (F21).
