To: TGR-401 HDMI input
The 8-CH input is really useful as an input for HD-DVD or Blu-ray DVD players capable of decoding Dolby True HD.
If your DVD player has its own Dolby decoder you can connect it as shown. The surround back inputs can be left disconnected if your player does not have these outputs.
Note: The eight channels of audio from the DVD are all processed by the TGR-401 DSP, so bass management and surround mode selections will still be functional. Additionally there is an 8-channel source direct mode. This provides the highest fidelity signal path for SACD or DVD-Audio, free from any coloration or processor circuitry.
The 8-CH input processes all 8 channels only for the Main Zone. Zone 2 only receives the left and right channels.
The video output in this example is connected to TGR-401 HDMI input 1. Use the OSD 8-CH input configuration menu to lock the 8-channel input to HDMI video (see page 33 for details of the OSD input menu). Then, when- ever the 8-channel input is selected, the HDMI video will also be selected.
