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.

Playing a CD from the Disc Player

Place a CD in the disc slot.

Press the àLibrary button to display the Home Screen.

Use the S or T buttons to select the Disc option.

Press the OSelect button.

The Disc Drive screen will display information about the disc you have inserted:

Select the Play Disc option.

The User Interface will display the Now Playing screen and the CD will play from the audio outputs.

Playing a DVD From the Disc Player

Press the àLibrary button to display the Home Screen.

Use the S or T buttons to select the Disc option.

Press the OSelect button.

The Disc Drive screen will display information about the disc you have inserted:

Select the Play Disc option.

The television screen will automatically switch to display the movie as opposed to the User Interface. You can return to the User Interface at any time by pressing the •Now Playing button on the remote control (movie will stop).

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 files.

TGM-100C, TGM-100 specifications

The Sunfire TGM-100 and TGM-100C are advanced, next-generation gasification systems developed by Sunfire, a pioneer in sustainable energy technologies. These models are designed to convert a broad range of carbon-based feedstocks, such as biomass and waste materials, into high-quality synthesis gas (syngas). Utilizing a unique combination of innovative technologies, they stand out in the realm of clean energy production.

One of the main features of the TGM-100 and TGM-100C is their efficient conversion process. They employ a dual-stage gasification technology that enhances the efficiency of energy extraction from various raw materials. The first stage utilizes pyrolysis, where the feedstock is thermally decomposed in the absence of oxygen, leading to the production of bio-oil and char. This is followed by a gasification stage, where the remaining solid residues are converted into syngas using controlled amounts of oxygen and steam. This two-step process ensures high conversion rates and maximizes energy output.

In terms of technology, both models are equipped with advanced control systems that monitor and optimize the gasification parameters in real-time. These systems improve operational flexibility and reliability, allowing the units to adapt to varying feedstock qualities. Additionally, the TGM-100C version is designed with modular capabilities, making it easier to scale projects according to specific energy needs or feedstock availability.

Another characteristic that sets these models apart is their emphasis on environmental sustainability. The systems are designed to minimize emissions, contributing to a cleaner energy landscape. The syngas produced can be utilized in various applications, including power generation, chemical production, and as a substitute for natural gas in industrial processes.

The TGM-100 and TGM-100C are also notable for their robustness and durability. Built to withstand high operational demands, they feature high-grade materials and components that ensure long-lasting performance even under challenging conditions. These characteristics make them suitable for a range of applications, from industrial settings to remote off-grid locations.

In summary, the Sunfire TGM-100 and TGM-100C represent cutting-edge advancements in gasification technology. With their efficient energy conversion processes, modular capabilities, real-time optimization, and commitment to sustainability, they are a compelling choice for those seeking reliable and environmentally friendly energy solutions.
