7 W iring Instructions CONNECTING VIDEO MONITORS Each PR-4Zi zone has a composite video output to allow viewing video from any of six A/V sour ces. Connect monitors as shown in Figure 5 using RG6U cable with RCA type connectors. If mor e than two monitors are being used in a zone, a composite video distribution amplifier is r ecommended.
W iring Instructions FIXED ZONE LINE OUT: CREA TING SUBZONES The PR-4Zi has six buffered, fixed-level audio/video outputs as shown pr eviously in Figure 1 (p. 4). When set to FIXED ZONE LINE OUT (Figure 7), the last four outputs can be used to cr eate subzones of each main zone.

14 DSC/DAN KEYP ADS Once the PCK(IR) keypads have been wired, con- nect the DSC keypad’ s 16-pin header to the 16- pin receptacle on the side of the main keypad (see Figure 1a and 1b). Be sur e to keep the cor- r ect pin alignment. If you ar e using a DAN key- pad with the system, connect it to the input r eceptacle on the side of the DSC keypad.
15 IKP-1 INFRARED KEYP AD PROGRAMMER The IKP-1 is a programmer used to simplify and speed up the IR programming for the DAN and DSC IR learning keypads. Learning keypads that can be used with the programmer have a plug located at the front left. Refer to IKP-1 Instruction Manual for complete instructions.
16 Peripheral Devices P AGING The PR-4Zi has five paging inputs. The four Zone-Specific P AGE INPUTS allow for paging to all zones except the zone where the page origi- nates. The P AGE ALL input will allow paging to all zones. A page turns on all zones to their r espective pr eset paging volume (see Memory Procedur e, p.
Peripheral Devices 17 IR EMITTERS The PR-4Zi has seven IR outputs: Source 1–6 and Common. Sour ce 1–6 outputs are sour ce-specific and provide IR signals only to the selected source; the Common out- put provides IR signals to all sources.
18 Peripheral Devices PRC -1 REMOTE CONTROL The Russound PRC-1 remote contr ol is pr epro- grammed to operate more than 1,000 audio and video components, including the PR-4Zi. Set it up by simply punching in a three-digit code that matches your equipment.
