CHAPTER 3 – TV User Interface
The disc Player
Your TGM-100 can play CDs and DVDs directly from the
disc slot. It therefore functions not only as a music and
video system, but also as a CD and DVD player.

Recording
You can make new recordings onto the TGM-100’s external
storage device by recording directly from CDs and DVDs,
using the disc slot.
Your TGM-100 can access the Internet, using a broadband
internet connection (via the Ethernet port), to automatically
retrieve information about the disc. CD information, includ-
ing artist, album and track names, as well as cover illustra-
tions is retrieved from the Gracenote Music Recognition
Service. DVD information, including cover art and chapter
titles, is obtained from GD3 and AMG.
Note: In some countries the copying of material protected
by copyright law may require permission of the copyright
owners. The system, as shipped, will only record unen-
crypted DVDs. Encrypted DVDs require the installation of
3rd party software. Please contact your installer for more
information.

Audio Recording Quality

The TGM-100 allows you to record music and store it in a
number of different formats:

mPEG-layer 3 (mP3)

You can record to MP3 at a number of different bit rates.
Higher bitrates give better quality but take up more space
on your TGM-100’s external storage device. By default, the
unit records music at 192Kb VBR MP3.

WAV (lossless uncompressed)

The WAV format is uncompressed, which gives the highest
possible quality, but takes up the most space.

Windows media Audio (WmA)

WMA is a compression format similar to MP3. Again, the
higher the bitrate you choose, the better the quality and the
larger the resultant music les.
