No user service- Outdoor Antenna Grounding­If 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. Lightning­For 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.

The Front, Center and Surround Crossover menus are used to independently set the internal High Pass filter of the Model 950's Cirrus Triple Crossover for each of these three speaker groups. 7. Use the < and > buttons to adjust the Front Crossover. The crossover settings appear as follows as you scroll through them: 40Hz60Hz80Hz100Hz120Hz150Hz The Speaker Configuration menu appears on the Front Panel Display and the OSD (see figure 2). The first three settings in the Speaker configuration menu deal with the type of speakers you are using in your system. It is very important that you understand what is meant by the LARGE and SMALL settings in this menu. They do not refer to the physical size of the speakers, but to their ability to handle very powerful deep bass. Most loudspeaker systems on the market should be classified as Small, since they do not have the capability to handle the often extraordinary amount of deep bass content film soundtracks can contain. It is strongly recommended that you consult your loudspeaker instruction manual regarding the capabilities of your particular system with regard to low bass/low frequency reproduction. Please note that all THX certified loudspeaker systems are classified under this method as SMALL since a subwoofer is required for any THX certified loudspeaker system. In any case you should consider using a subwoofer for any system which you expect to effectively handle the low frequency dynamics of modern motion picture soundtrack sources such as DVD or HDTV feeds, and many other discrete multi-channel programming sources. If you aren't sure about your speaker's real world capabilities and you are using a subwoofer, choose Small, since this will insure that all the appropriate low frequency information is directed to the subwoofer where it can be most effectively handled. 26 Outlaw Audio You can scroll in either direction using the < and > buttons . Consult the material that came with your loudspeakers to determine the correct settings, if any are recommended. In general, if you are not sure about the frequency response of your speakers, we recommend you set the crossover at 80Hz, unless otherwise directed by the manufacturer. If you are using very small satellite speakers you may need to set the crossovers to 100 or even 120Hz. When correctly set, you should hear a smooth transition of lower to upper bass between the satellites and the subwoofer. 8. Press the button when you have made a selection. Repeat steps 7 and 8 until you have completed the speaker crossover settings for each group of speakers. 9. Press the button to select the Return to Main Menu option. Press the SELECT or MENU button to return to the Main Menu, or press the MENU button twice to exit the menu system. Owner's Manual System Setup Channel Calibration The next step is to adjust the output level of each channel so that they are properly matched. This must be done to insure a correct presentation of multichannel sound sources. The adjustment must be as precise as possible, and is almost impossible to accomplish by ear.
