Connect monitors as shown in Figure 5 using RG6U cable with RCA type connectors. If more than two monitors are being used in a zone, a composite video distribution amplifier is recommended. The PR- 4Zi video outputs are buffered and are good for up to 100’ of RG6U. Figure 5 – Video Output connections Figure 6 – So

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 keypad
