IR EMITTERS

The PR-4Zi has seven IR outputs: Source 1–6 and Common. Source 1–6 outputs are source-specific and provide IR signals only to the selected source; the Common out- put provides IR signals to all sources.

Source-specific IR outputs (Figure

17)are useful when a system has two or more of the same model source component, allowing you to target the IR commands to each individual component.
