Multi-room Capability with Zone 2 Remote
Video and audio from any source device connected to the Model 990’s
analog audio and video inputs can be routed to a second room, with
separate volume control and source selection through a dedicated Zone
2 remote. The multi-room output can also be used to record a different
source than the one being played in the main room.

Two Low-Voltage Triggers
One trigger turns on and off whenever the Model 990 does; this trigger is
useful for automatic on/off of compatible power amplifiers (including all
Outlaw models). A separate trigger can be assigned to activate or deacti-
vate depending on which input is selected, and is especially appropriate
for use with relay-controlled products such as projection screens, blinds
and lighting systems.

Unpacking
Your preamp/processor comes in a carton and packing materials designed to
cushion it from shocks and vibration of shipping. We strongly suggest you save
the carton and packing materials to use if you move, or if the unit ever needs
to be shipped back to us for any reason.
To minimize the size of the carton in storage, flatten it by carefully opening
the top and bottom flaps and folding the carton flat. Other cardboards inserts
may be stored in the same manner. Packing material that cannot be collapsed
should be saved along with the carton in a plastic bag.
Although the Model 990 is not particularly heavy, it does demand care when
you lift it, because of the protruding front-panel volume knob and the many
rear-panel connectors.
