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. Cleaning–Unplug the unit from the wall outlet before cleaning. The unit should be cleaned only as recommended by the manufacturer. Attachments–Do not use attachments not recommended by the unit manufacturer as they may cause hazards. Water and Moisture–Do not use the unit near water–for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or 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 manufacturers instructions, and should use a mounting accessory 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 16 cm (6 in.) and an opening behind the unit. 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, or a convenience receptacle, and the point where they exit from the unit. Outdoor Antenna Grounding–If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the unit, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard 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. 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 the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the unit due to lightning and power-line surges. Power Lines–An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal. 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 open - ings 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 service techni - cian has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards. Safety Check–Upon completion of any service or repairs to the unit, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the unit is in proper operation condition. Wall or Ceiling Mounting–The unit should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer. Heat–The unit should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other units (including amplifiers) that produce heat. IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE Before connecting a new component such as the PT-7000 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 Sherbourn Technologies specifically disclaims responsibility for any such damage. 2

2 Outlaw Audio Owners Manual Model PT-7000 7.1 Channel Preamp/Processor/Tuner Owners Manual Precautions Verify The Line VoltageYour new Model PT-7000 has been factory configured for 120 (+/- 3%) volt AC lines. Connect - ing the amplifier to a line voltage other than that for which it is intended can create a safety and fire hazard, and may damage the amplifier. If you have any questions about the voltage requirements for your specific model, or about the line voltage in your area, contact Sherbourn Technologies before plugging the unit into a wall outlet. 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 refrigera - tors. This will lessen the possibility of power variation and electrical start-up noise affecting your sound system. Power CordThe removable power cord that is shipped with the PT-7000 is specifically designed to be used with this product. DO NOT use any other power cord, as that may reduce the units 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 PT-7000. Should the power cord require replacement, use an identical type, or contact Sherbourn Technologies for service. Handle the AC Power Cord GentlyWhen disconnecting the power cord from an AC outlet, always pull the plug, never pull the cord. If you do not intend to use the PT-7000 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 FuseThe fuse is located inside the chassis and is not user-serviceable. If power does not come on, contact your authorized service station. WiringCables that are run inside of walls should have the appropriate markings to indicate complaince with, and listing by the UL , CSA or other standards required by the UL, CSA, NEC or your local building. Questions about cables inside of walls should be referred to a qualified custom installer, or a licensed electrician or low-voltage contractor. Installation LocationTo assure proper operation and to avoid the potential for safety hazards, place the unit on a firm and level surface capable of supporting its 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 PT-7000 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, owners 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 cir - culation. 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 require - ments for your specific installation, please contact us. Also, do not place the PT-7000 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 CabinetThere 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 Sherbourn Technologies for further instructions.
