back to Russound / FMP, Inc. 5 Forbes Road Newmarket, New Hampshire
03857. Be sure to retain a copy and keep it in a safe place.
2. Power – WARNING, BEFORE TURNING ON THE POWER FOR THE FIRST TIME ,
READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY. All models are designed for use
only with the power supply voltage of the region where they are sold. USA
and Canadian: AC 120c, 60Hz.
3. Voltage Label ( Rear Panel ) – A label located at the rear panel power connection indicates the AC power input for the unit. For use in the USA and Canada
the label will read AC120V, 60 Hz.
4. Do Not Touch The PR-4Z With Wet Hands. Do not handle the PR-4Z or power
cord when your hands are wet or damp. If water or any other liquid enters the
PR-4Z cabinet, take the PR-4Z to qualified service personal for inspection.
5. Location of PR-4Z Place the PR-4Z in a Well - Ventilated Location. Take special
care to provide plenty of ventilation on all sides of the PR-4Z especially when
it is placed in an audio rack. If ventilation is blocked, the PR-4Z may over heat
and malfunction. Do not expose the PR-4Z to direct sun light or heating units
as the PR-4Z internal components temperature may rise and shorten the life
of the components. Avoid damp and dusty places .
6. Care – From time to time you should wipe off the front and side panels and
the cabinet with a soft cloth. Do not use rough material, thinners, alcohol or
other chemical solvents or cloths since this may damage the finish or remove
the panel lettering.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The PR-4Z is designed to provide independent preamp-level
audio and video control for up to four areas, each having
the capability of selecting on/off, loudness, source, 1-6, as
well as adjusting volume, bass and treble. In addition to
standard preamplifier controls, the PR-4Z also provides many
sophisticated control functions to allow customization of
each zone, as well as synchronous operation of all zones. The
memory and preset functions allow the user to customize
each zone by storing volume bass and treble level, loudness
and source information, which can be accessed later simply
by pressing the preset button. The All On and All Off
functions provide single-button, system-wide on/off control.
Two party modes link together source selection and volume
for all zones for synchronous operation. Interface connections are provided for cascading up to 4 PR-4Z’s together.
Optional PCK & PCK-IR in-wall keypads with built in infrared
receivers provide easy remote operation of the PR-4Z’s internal preamplifiers. Optional DSC & DAN in-wall learning keypads allow the user to operate source equipment from
remote locations, as well. Optional SPG Keypad, DTI-1
Doorbell-Telephone Interface and PTM-1 paging modules
offer a number of different features for whole-house paging.

WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
PR-4Z WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
Make line level and composite video connections from
source equipment to PR-4Z as shown in Figure 3. Use high
quality audio and audio/video cables and make cable length
as short as possible to keep signal integrity intact. The PR-4Z
provides switched two-pole 115 VAC outlets designed to
supply power to low current devices such as CD players, tape
decks and/or VCRs etc.. All switched AC outlets are active
when any zone within a PR-4Z system is “ON”. When all
zones are turned off, the PR-4Z will wait five minutes and
then turn off the AC outlets. All six of the two pole AC outlets can supply a combined current output of 1 Amp max.
If using a Four Zone Audio Amplifier, make audio connections from the PR-4Z to the amplifier as shown in Figure 5.
Use good quality audio cables and keep cable length as short
as possible to keep signal integrity intact. A single high current 115 VAC, three prong switched outlet is provided to
allow power connection to the amplifier. The high current
AC outlet can supply a maximum current output of 8 Amps.
If using multiple stereo amplifiers, make audio connections
as shown in Figure 6.
WARNING : DO NOT MAKE A CONNECTION TO THE
HIGH CURRENT SWITCHED AC OUTLET THAT
REQUIRES MORE THAN 8 AMPS MAX.

Figure 7 – Video Output Connections
Each zone has a video output to allow viewing of any of the three audio/video sources. Monitors can be
connected to each of the 4 zone outputs as shown in Figure 7 using RG6U cable with RCA type connectors. If more than
two monitors are being used in a given installation on any given zone, it is recommended that composite line amplifiers be
used. The PR-4Z video outputs are buffered and are good for up to 100’ of RG6U to one monitor/zone.
Figure 8 – Video Output Connections With RF Modulators
Video may also be distributed utilizing RF modulators, such as the Channel Plus model# 5415 modulator shown in Figure 8.
Use “Y” cables to distribute audio to both the dedicated amplifier and modulator.

PR-4Z CONTROL FEATURES
Figure 9 – Zone Control Functions
1) Master Power Switch – Controls power to entire PR-4Z system (including switched outlets). The “0” indicator signifies
power off, the symbol “I” signifies power on.
2) Infra-Red Receiver – Provides IR control for zone #1. The IR receiver located on the front of the PR-4Z will provide control for the #1 zone of the PR-4Z and will not pass common IR codes.
3) Zone Select Buttons – Selects zone (1-4) to be displayed and/or accessed on PR-4Z front panel.
4) Zone Select Indicators – Indicates which zone (1-4) is currently displayed on the PR-4Z front panel (“current zone”).
5) All On / All Off – Turns all zones on and off respectively. The All On command may be “preset” such that a zone/zones
may be selectively omitted from the All On function (see memory procedure). The All Off function, in addition to turning
off all zones, can be used to control the power to additional equipment, such as a 4-Zone Amplifier, CD player, etc.
through the use of the seven switched AC outlets located on the rear of the PR-4Z. When all zones in a PR-4Z system are
turned off through use of the All Off feature or independently, the PR-4Z will turn off the switched AC outlets after waiting five minutes. If it is desired that the AC switched outlets be turned off immediately, press the All Off button twice.
6) Current Zone On / Off – On / Off control for zone currently displayed.
7) Zone On / Off Indicators – Shows On / Off status of zone currently displayed.
