This input is really useful as an input for DVD A, SACD, etc., as a mul- tichannel direct (DSP-bypass) input.

If your DVD player has its own sur- round processing circuits you can con- nect it as shown. The surround back inputs can be left disconnected if your player does not have these outputs.

An external surround processor can also be connected like this. You will have to connect some of your sources to the external processor, so it can process the original signals.

Note: The eight channels of audio from the DVD bypass the DSP circuits of the TGP-5, so the tone controls,

bass management and surround mode selections will have no effect. This provides the highest fidelity signal path for SACD or DVD-Audio, free from any coloration or processor circuitry.

This input is only for the Main Zone, it is not selectable for Zone 2.

The video output in this example is connected to the TGP-5 DVD com- posite video input. Use the OSD 8-CH input configuration menu to lock the 8-channel input to DVD video (see page 34 for details). Whenever the

8-channel input is selected, the DVD video will also be selected.

In this diagram, the player's digital output is also connected. If you select the TGP-5's DVD input, you will get DVD video and DVD digital audio.

If you select the TGP-5's 8-Channel input, you will get DVD video, and analog audio from the 8-channel input.
