No, it doesn't look like it. Check page 112 of your manual which explains that remote jack.

You know, I have the 12v triggers but never use them, it makes it harder for other people to turn you stuff on, meaning the wife, kids, etc.

A dedicated amp is gonna beat the receiver all day, I'm very curious about demo-ing one of these XPA-3's.

I used to have an Outlaw 990 and it wasn't any better than using my receiver as the processor, but there are better offerings in the works.
