1.Audio/Video Inputs

These audio, composite-video and S-video inputs connect to the outputs of your audio video compo nents. When these inputs are selected, the audio will be heard in your system and the video will be seen on the TV screen. VID2 can be used for a second VCR.

2. Audio/Video Outputs

MAIN: connects to the inputs of a TV monitor, where the video of any selected input and the On Screen Display (OSD) can be viewed. The audio connections allow you to listen to any selected audio source through your TV’s speakers.

VCR: connects to the inputs of a VCR to allow recording.

VID2/MON2: connects to the input of a second VCR for recording, or to a second TV. When con-

figured in the OSD for “VID2,” this output is muted whenever the VID2 input is selected. This prevents feedback; also there is no OSD then on this output. When confi gured for “MON2,” the output is always active, the same as the Main output.

Note: Analog audio signals are present at these L and R outputs even if a digital input has been selected. The output is a 2 channel downmix if the digital source is more than 2 channels.

3. Component Video Inputs

These inputs connect to the component-video outputs of your DVD, SAT or other video source (VID1) if they have this advanced capability. When these inputs are selected, the Processor will automatically route the video signals going into these jacks to the component video outputs. Note that component video provides the best picture compared to composite or S-video. The TGIII can also switch HDTV signals.

4. Component Video Outputs

If your TV Monitor has component video inputs, connect them to these outputs. If you select DVD, SAT or VID1, then any video signals going to the component inputs, will pass through to your TV monitor. Note that the OSD is not available from the component video outputs.

5. Infrared (IR) Inputs

These are used in custom installations to control the Main Zone and Zone 2 from a remote loca- tion. The input accepts 1/8” mono mini-jacks from standard remote control IR equipment, such as those made by Xantech and other companies. The remote sensors can be in a different room, or in a preferred location in your main room.

6. Triggers and Relay

The relay switch is normally open, and it will close after a short delay, when selecting a source. This can be used in installations to trigger video screen deployment, or other custom purposes. The OSD INPUTS menu allows you to choose which inputs will activate the relay.

The +12 VDC outputs are on whenever their zone is enabled. They can be used to automatically turn on amplifi ers for example. The 1/8” mini-jack is wired in parallel with the terminals. Do not exceed a current draw of 500 mA total for both outputs.
