MkII Stereo RetroReceiver

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 

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: 

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. 

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
