The G68 can copy the currently selected audio and video inputs to two different outputs, called COPY ZONE 2 and ZONE 3, for recording, or for controlling one or two other rooms. For example, a G51 Receiver could be used in a second room to listen to a source connected to the G68.

To record audio and video

•Connect the appropriate COPY/ZONE video and audio outputs to the video and audio inputs of the VCR.

•Connect the video and audio outputs from the VCR to appropriate inputs on the G68.

To control a second room

•Connect the ZONE 3 outputs to ANALOGUE IN 4 on the G51.

•Connect the composite ZONE 3 outputs to the TV or monitor in ZONE 3.

•Configure the G51 for a second zone.
