2. 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.
If using an AP-48 Four Zone Audio LASER DISC PLAYER Amplifier, make audio connections from the PR-4Z to the AP-48 as shown in Figure 5. Use good quality audio cables and keep 115 VAC~ cable length as short as possible to keep signal integrity intact.
