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.

ADVANCED CONTROL FUNCTION PROCEDURES
MEMORY PROCEDURE
The Memory function allows information for each zone to
be individually stored, then later accessed by using the preset function. Source, volume level, treble level, bass level,
loudness, and “All On disable” can be stored individually for
each zone.
1) Select the zone you wish to establish presets for, using
the Zone Select
2) Setup all or some of the zone characteristics including
source, volume, bass, treble and loudness to what is
desired.
3) Press the Memory button (Figure 11); the Memory
Indicator will light.
4) To store volume, bass and/or treble levels, press either the
up or down button that corresponds to the characteristic
to be stored.
5) To store current source input selection, press any source
button.
6) To store loudness (on or off) press the Loudness button
(Figure 10).
7) To prevent the zone from turning on when the All On
function is activated, press the All On button.
8) To exit memory mode, press the Memory button until the
Memory Indicator is no longer illuminated.
NOTE: To clear memory, select zone, press Memory
button until Memory Indicator is illuminated, press
Preset button (Figure 11), press Memory button
until Memory Indicator is no longer illuminated.
NOTE: If the main power switch of the PR-4Z is
turned off, all information stored in memory will be
lost!! Use of a UPS power backup device will elimi-
nate this problem as well as offering surge protection.
PRESET PROCEDURE
The Preset function will access information previously stored
in memory and automatically set zone characteristics (volume level etc.) to those stored in memory. The Preset function may be accessed at the PR-4Z front panel, PCK-IR keypad or through an IR receiver.
1) Select zone using the Zone Select buttons (Figure 11).
2) Make certain that the zone has settings stored in memory. If there are no settings stored follow the memory procedure to establish presets.
3) Press the Preset button.
4) Zone characteristics should now reflect what was previously stored in memory.
PARTY MODE PROCEDURE
Party Mode allows synchronous operation of all zones which
are listening to a single source (CD player etc..). Two modes
are provided to accommodate different control criteria.
1) Set zone 1 volume and source to the desired setting for
the entire system. Turn on those zones you wish to have
“participate” in party mode operation.
2) Press the Party Mode button. The Source Lock indicator
will light and the source and volume level which was initially set in step 1 will be reflected in all other zones (2-4)
which were turned on when the Party Mode button was
initially pressed.
3) The system is now in Source Lock Mode. In this mode,
once the initial setup (step 2) of volume level and source
was uploaded to zones 2, 3 and 4 is complete, you can
now adjust volume independently in all zones from either
keypad, IR receiver or front panel. In Source Lock Mode,
source changes can only be made from the front panel;
keypads and IR receivers are unable to make source
changes.
4) If the Party Mode button is pressed a second time, the
Source Link indicator will light. Source selection for all
zones at this point is linked, so that if any zone changes a
source, all other zones will follow. Source link will operate
similarly to Source Lock except that whole-house source
changes can be made from any keypad, IR receiver or
front panel.
5) To exit Party Mode operation, press the Party Mode button until both the Source Lock and Source Link indicators
are no longer illuminated.
6) To use the Party Modes with multiple PR-4Zs which are
using the interface cable connection, setup each of the
PR-4Zs’ zone 1 to the desired volume and source setting.
Press the Party Mode button until the desired mode is
selected. Source changes will now be linked between all

PCK KEYPAD WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
Figure 12 – PCK-IR (Front View)
Figure 13 – PCK-IR (Rear View)
Each of the PR-4Z’s zones can be remotely operated by use
of the keypad (1-4) ports located on the rear of the PR-4Z.
Each of the keypad ports allow connection of up to 4
Russound model PCK-IR keypads (4 per zone). The PR-4Z’s
keypad ports are also compatible with Infra-Red devices such
as Russound infrared receivers (Model #’s 848, 1257, 1258
and 844). It is also possible to control the PR-4Z with learning devices that transmit IR codes in this manner.
Figure 14 – PCK-IR Wiring Configuration
Wire the PCK-IR keypads to
the PR-4Z keypad input as
shown in Figure 14 using 22-
24 AWG shielded two twisted
pair wire.
NOTE: Though we don’t recommend CAT5 be used
on such products and encourage the use of 22AWG
twisted shielded pair, we recognize many companies
use and prefer CAT5. If using CAT5 it is important to
use the following connections.
PR-4Z WITH CAT5
Due to the characteristics of CAT5 it is recommended that
the following color code be utilized for proper performance
when used with the PR-4Z. Both Orange and Green CAT5
paris have a higher twist ratio than the Blue and Brown
pairs. This makes them the best pairs for D1 and D2 signal
lines. By doubling up on both the Voltage and Ground,
power supplied to the keypad will have less resistance. By
grounding the Green/White and Orange/White lines at the
PR-4Z, RF noise has less of a chance of being induced into
the control lines of D1 and D2.

PR-4Z IR EMITTER OUTPUTS
The PR-4Z has 5 IR emitter outputs located on the rear
panel: Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 3, Zone 4 and Common. The
Zone 1-4 outputs provide IR signal out from their respective
zones, while the Common output provides IR signal output
for all zones. The Common output would most likely be used
most often to control source equipment, such as CD players
etc.. The Zone 1-4 outputs can be used to control IR controllable equipment which is proprietary to a particular zone ie.
IR controlled drapes, zone specific sources, etc.
