OSB-1 Outlaw Sound Bar

Introduction

Thank you for choosing Outlaw Audio products. Your new speaker com-

ponents are precision-crafted to give you years of enjoyable, trouble-free

service.This manual covers the Outlaw Audio OSB-1 speaker system. This

speaker can be used with all current and past sound formats including

Stereo, Dolby Surround®, Pro Logic II®, Dolby Digital 7.1 and 5.1®, Dolby

Digital EX®, DTS®, DTS ES®, DTS ES Discrete®, DTS Neo:6®, DVD-Audio

and SACD Audio.

IMPORTANT:

Although it may seem like asking for driving directions,

please take a few moments to read all of this booklet. It has many

helpful tips and ideas on properly setting up and using your system.

We promise that if you take the time to read and follow these tips

you’ll get better system performance and more enjoyment.

Description

The OSB-1 Outlaw Sound Bar is a 42”-long self-powered soundbar that

delivers multi-channel high-ﬁdelity sound for your home entertainment

system. It features Atlantic’s patented H-PAS bass system, which produces

deep, distortion-free bass without the need for a subwoofer!

Using just two 4” woofers, the OSB-1 Outlaw Sound Bar reaches down to

a solid 47 Hz at very high theater-like SPLs, for an absolutely convincing

and totally satisfying sonic experience. Because of its extended frequency

response and dynamics the OSB-1 Outlaw Sound Bar is the ﬁrst soundbar

where the subwoofer is truly optional.You no longer have to deal with the

“black box on the ﬂoor.” This represents a quantum leap forward in both

acoustic technology and user convenience.

The OSB-1 is powered by an on-board ampliﬁer that supplies 80 total watts

RMS.It also boasts sophisticated Digital Signal Processing with Dolby Digi-

tal®and DTS that effectively develops a 2,3 or 5 channel experience for total

listener immersion in the video program. Dolby and DTS signals are auto-

matically identiﬁed and selected by the system. Included is a simple remote

control, but can also be used with most universal remotes.

In addition to its ground-breaking bass capabilities, the OSB-1 Outlaw

Sound Bar’s digital display can be “ﬂipped” to read correctly whether the

unit is sitting on a table or inverted on a ﬂat-screen mount.

Unpacking the Speaker

Use care when unpacking the speaker. Remember to keep the original box

and packing material, in the unlikely event the speaker needs servicing, or

if you move.

For Future Reference

Record the serial number and date of purchase of the speaker here. The serial number is

found on the back of the enclosure.

System Components Details

The OSB-1 has 3 options for working with remote controls.

• The dedicated remote control provided with your system.

• Universal remote controls. We have provided the source code required

for programming many universal remote controls. (this may need to

be programmed by a professional custom installer)

• Multi device remote controls that are pre-programmed to be used with

many devices, such as ones provided by many cable or satellite TV

providers. If your multi-device remote control has the ability to control

an audio receiver then it will most likely allow you to operate the basic

functions of the OSB-1. Simply follow the instructions for the remote

control and usethecode providedforMarantz receivers. The functions

accessible are: On/Off,Mute,Volume Up/Down

Instruction Manual

Placement

Speaker Placement and Home Theater

Remember that the primary goal of a good home theater is not to make you

believe that you are in a movie theater.It’s to make you believe you’re in the

movie. For a home theater system,place the OSB-1 speaker either above or

below your ﬂat screen display, centered horizontally.

The OSB-1 can be used as a set-top or shelf-mounted speaker. Self-adhesive

rubber feet are included to prevent vibration,protect the mounting surface

and serve to angle the speaker up or down if needed. See Figure 4.

You may also simply mount the speaker to the wall using the built-in key-

hole brackets or attach it to a suitably equipped articulating ﬂat-panel TV

wall mount via the threaded inserts on the rear panel of the OSB-1. See

Figure 5.

Placement

Figure 4 -

Cabinet or shelf mounting

Figure 5 -

Wall mounting

CAUTION:

Because of the high quality components used, the OSB-1

speaker is very heavy for its size and care must be used when hanging it.Be

sure to use a strong screw to drive into the wall, one whose head and shaft

will ﬁt properly within the keyhole opening and slot.Also be sure to drive

the screw directly into a stud or to use a mounting device (such a molly-

bolt) that is capable of safely holding the speaker’s weight. Never simply

drive a nail or screw into sheet rock or other wall materials, as this mount-

ing method may not be sufﬁcient to safely support the weight of the speaker.

NOTE:

Always consult a knowledgeable installer regarding the proper

mounting hardware to use with your speakers. Mounting the speaker

safely and securely is the responsibility of the owner.

For wall mounting (or

mounting on a TV bracket),

orient the speaker with

Control Pod on the bottom

For cabinet or shelf mount-

ing, orient the speaker with

Control Pod on the top.

Use the 4 Small

round rubber spacers

Placement

Setting Display for Orientation

Before you begin setup of your system,you must determine the orientation

you want to use for your OSB-1.The OSB-1 can be oriented with the Con-

trol Pod on either the TOP or the BOTTOM of the unit. The OSB-1 comes

pre-conﬁgured for use with the Control Pod on Top. If are planning to use

the OSB-1 on a shelf or cabinet or wall-mounted above a TV,this is the ori-

entation you will use.

If you plan to mount your OSB-1 on the wall or bracket underneath a TV,

you may need to set your orientation for the Control Pod on the BOTTOM.

See Figure 6 below.

NOTE:

It is important that the unit be set for correct orientation.

Doing so is essential for display to operate properly and to keep cor-

rect Left-to-Right speaker orientation.

Rotating Grille for Orientation

Once you have swapped the Control Panel Label and reconﬁgured the dis-

play, the last thing you will need to do is remove and rotate the grille so

that the logos are in the correct orientation.To do so,gently pry the grille

free from the cabinet starting at both ends.Continue to gently pry the grill

off moving towards the center of the cabinet.Do not use a tool or pick as

this may damage the cabinet.

Once the grille is free, rotate and reattach. Make sure to line up the grille

trees with the mounting cups. Press ﬁrmly until the grille is once again

ﬂush with the cabinet.

Connecting Your System

The OSB-1 offers a variety of both analog and digital audio source inputs.

Each were designed for particular uses.

NOTE:

For optimum audio performance, we recommend that you

use a source with a digital output (either optical Toslink or coaxial)

connected directly to the OSB-1. It is particularly important to directly

connect digital A/V sources (such as DVD players and cable boxes), as

routing through a TV may cause loss of the multi-channel encoding

used to generate DTS and Dolby Digital.

Digital Audio Inputs

The OSB-1 offers three digital inputs.A digital coaxial (RCA) audio input for

Source 2 (S2) and optical (Toslink) audio inputs for Sources 3 and 4 (S3 and

S4). There is no audible beneﬁt of one connection over the other. Different

source components simply have different types of output connections.See

Figures 7 and 8 for connection diagrams.

Analog Audio Inputs

The OSB-1 offers two analog inputs.The mini-jack analog audio connection

for Source Input 1 (S1) on the front of the unit is designed for quick and

easy connection of a portable audio device such as a mobile phone,iPod or

MP3 player. See pg. 10 for diagrams.

The stereo RCA analog audio connection for Source Input 5 (S5) on the rear

of the unit are designed for audio sources which don't have digital audio

outputs. See pg. 10 for diagrams.

NOTE:

When using an analog input, the additional channels required

for multi-channel output will be interpolated by the DSP (Digital Sig-

nal Processor) in the OSB-1.

Turning Off Your TV's Internal Speakers

We recommend that you turn off your TV's internal speakers.It’s impossible

to give speciﬁc instructions on how to turn off the speakers for every TV,but

here is a way to do it that covers many of the TVs out there.

. On your TV remote control, ﬁnd a “menu” or “setup” button.

. Press this button. You should see an on-screen menu.

. Next, look for an option to control audio functions and

select it.

. The setting to turn off your TV’s internal speakers should

be here.

Power Supply

A separate power supply and power supply cable has been included with

your system. After the audio connections have been made, connect the

cable from the power supply to the 24VDC jack in the rear of the OSB-1.

Then connect the power supply cable to power supply and plug the cord

into an active outlet.

NOTE:

The power supply provided is capable of working with volt-

ages from 100-240 volts.

Figure 7 Simplest Connection Method

The simplest method to connect your OSB-1 is from the digital output on your TV.

This would allow the sources to be switched at the TV. Unfortunately many TV

manufactures down convert their digital output signal and this removes the DTS and

Dolby encoding used to generate detailed multi-channels. Although your system

will function you will not receive the full impact provided by using DTS and Dolby

encoded signal. Please consult the instruction manual for your TV or contact the

manufacturer before using.
