FIXED ZONE LINE OUT: CREATING SUBZONES

The PR-4Zi has six buffered, fixed-level audio/video outputs as shown previously in Figure 1 (p. 4). When set to FIXED ZONE LINE OUT (Figure 7), the last four outputs can be used to create subzones of each main zone. A subzone gets the same source selected for the main zone, and therefore needs only on/off and volume control.

The lower portion of Figure 7 shows four amplified Russound A-KP2 keypads added to Zone 1. All subzones get the same Zone 1 source, but will have independent on/off and volume control via the A- KP keypad. Main zone control can be acheived by repeating IR commands in a sub-zone into the main zones keypad input. D1 will accept IR signal for zone control.
