Rear Panel Features

7. RS-232 Port

This connects to the serial port of a home computer, allowing the TGIV Flash memory soft- ware to upgraded. Latest soft- ware can be downloaded from www.sunfi re.com.

The port can also connect to the serial port of a Home Theater Controller, allowing the TGIV to be operated remotely.

8. XLR Audio Outputs

These line-level balanced XLR outputs connect to the XLR inputs of your amplifi ers and powered subwoofer. The outputs are: front left, front right, center, left sur- round, left surround back, right surround back, right surround and one subwoofer (LFE) output.

If your amplifi er has a choice of inputs, we recommend using the XLR balanced type. This gives better noise rejection, especially for longer cable runs.

9. FM Antenna

The supplied FM antenna fi ts this “F-type” screw-on connector. Other antennas can be fi tted for improved reception.

10. AM Antenna

These connections are for the included AM loop antenna.

11. Ground Screw

This is commonly used for the ground connection wire of a turn- table, to prevent any hum in your speakers. It is tied to the chas- sis ground, and may be used as needed.

Note: It is not necessary or desir- able to connect this to an electri- cal ground.

User's Manual

12. Audio Inputs

These audio inputs connect to the outputs of your turntable, DAT or TAPE player. Any standard audio component with a line-level output can be connected to DAT or TAPE. Only a turntable with a moving-magnet, or high-output moving-coil cartridge can be con- nected to the PHONO input.

13. Audio Outputs

These audio outputs connect to the analog record inputs of your tape decks, such as DAT, cas- sette or reel to reel. These outputs allow you to record the selected audio program. Note that these also allow analog recording from digital audio sources.

14. 8-CH Input

These analog audio inputs can connect to the output of an ex- ternal surround processor, or a source component such as DVD- Audio, SACD, or a DVD player with its own surround decoder. You can select this as an input from the front panel or remote control. The eight channels of analog audio will then pass into the TGIV.

Note: This is designed to be a very short analog-only signal path. DSP-based effects such as tone controls, bass management and DSP surround are bypassed. This input is not available in Zone 2.

15. Stereo Outputs

FIXED MAIN is a line level output, and the volume is not adjustable. This can be used as a record output, or to feed another audio system.

ZONE 2 connects to the inputs of a stereo amplifi er to run Zone

2.The volume and source are adjustable, either from the front panel, or from a remote IR sensor.

CHAPTER 1

16. Digital Inputs

These inputs connect to the digital outputs of your audio/video com- ponents. The DVD, SAT and VID1 and CD inputs have two options, optical or coaxial. The DAT and VID2 inputs are coaxial only.

Whenever one of these inputs is selected from the front panel or remote, the TGIV will automati- cally select the digital input if there is a signal present, otherwise

it will select the corresponding analog input.

17. Main Audio Outputs

These line-level RCA outputs con- nect to the inputs of your ampli-

ers and powered subwoofer(s). There are outputs for front left, front right, center, left surround, left surround back, right surround back, right surround and three identical subwoofer (LFE) outputs.

18.Digital Output

This S/PDIF output is active for all sources except the 8-chan- nel input. It allows you to record digital audio, for example to a DAT or CD-R.

19. Side-Axis Outputs

These outputs provide two optional front side channels to complement the left, center, right, surround and surround back channels. They can be turned on or off using the Speaker Size OSD menu (see page 38).

20. IEC Linecord Socket

The TGIV comes with a de-

tachable linecord which connects here.

Plug the linecord into an AC wall socket or power strip which is cor- rectly confi gured with the voltage specified for your model.
