Sunfire TGR-401-230 manual Installation, Chapter, AC Power Considerations, Care, Connection Tips

CHAPTER 1

Installation

Observe the following precautions when choosing a location for your TGR-401:

Make sure the TGR-401 has good ventilation. Do not cover any of the ventilation slots, or fit the receiver inside a sealed cabinet without good air flow.

•Protect it from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and other direct sources of heat, such as heating vents and radiators.

•Do not expose the unit to rain or moisture. If fluid or a foreign object should enter the unit, immediately turn off the power and contact your

Sunfire Dealer.

•Avoid excessive exposure to ex- treme cold or dust.

•Do not place heavy objects on top of the unit.

AC Power Considerations

Ensure that the unit is plugged into an outlet capable of supplying the cor- rect voltage specified for your model.

Care

If you need to clean the front sur- face, first turn off the power and then use a soft dry cloth, rubbing with the grain. Be careful not to scratch the display window.

Connection Tips

Before setting up your new system, please consider the following :

Always make sure that your components are all turned OFF, or unplugged before making or changing any connections.

•Whenever possible, route the power cords away from the signal cables or speaker wires to prevent any hum or interference heard in the speakers.

•Choose reliable hookup cables. They should be fully shielded and as short as possible.

•Use quality coaxial digital cables to connect the TGR-401 to any source equipment which has co- axial digital outputs.

•Some patch cords can be a very tight fit and there is usually a preferred method of getting them off. Some have to be removed with a twisting action. Be gentle or you may damage the jacks of your TGR-401, or other components.

•Some audiophile cables should be hooked up in one direction, these are usually marked with arrows.

•It is usual for the right channel patch cord plugs to be red and the left channel connections to be white, grey or black. Composite video connections are usually yel- low.

Video Connections

The TGR-401 has four types of video connections: composite video, S-video, component video and HDMI. Choose component or S-video if your video system supports it, as this will give better picture quality than com- posite video.

When an audio/video component is selected, the audio will play in your system and the video will be switched to a video input of your TV monitor.

You must have the TV connected in order to see the On Screen Display (OSD). No OSD is available on HDMI.
