CHAPTER 1

Quick Start Guide

We hope that the following details will help you get started using your TGR-401.

1.Take care to read and follow the safety instructions on pages 2-3. Also make sure that you read the notes and details throughout the manual, especially notes marked with a warning triangle ().

2.Add four new AAA batteries to the remote control.

3.Connect your source equipment and speakers to the TGR-401.

Make sure that all of your equip- ment remains unplugged from the AC mains until you have made all the connections.

4.In your DVD player's Audio setup menu, set the digital output to BITSTREAM. If this is not set correctly, the TGR-401 cannot decode the digital information for 5.1 surround sound playback.

5.The TGR-401's bass manage- ment system allows the bass from each speaker to be redirected to a subwoofer. Larger speakers can play the full frequency range, and smaller speakers such as satellite types can have their bass redi- rected. See page 38 for details.

Make a note of which speak- ers you would like to play the full frequency range (Large) and those which will have their bass redirected. Also make a note of the approximate distance of each speaker from your listening posi- tion.

6.The surround back speaker outputs can be used for powering surround back, or Zone 2 speak- ers. See page 22

7.Turn on the TGR-401, and then turn on your TV and source equip- ment.

8.Press the remote MAIN button a few times to make sure you are on the Main Page 1 Menu in the remote's display.

9.Set the remote to operate the TGR-401 by pressing the TG401 button.

10.The VOL and MUTE buttons will control the TGR-401 no mat- ter which source component the remote is set to operate. The PUNCH command allows you to change this if required (see page

28).

11.Turn down the TGR-401 volume and use the remote or front panel to select a video source as fol- lows: If you have followed step 9, the remote now shows the inputs that can be selected. Select one. (From the TGR-401 front panel, you can first press the input but- ton (center, top) and then rotate

the knob to select the desired input.)

12.Play a source, such as a DVD, and bring up the volume to suit your taste. Make sure the video can be seen in the TV monitor.

13.Stop or pause the source.

The TGR-401 now needs to be set- up correctly to suit your speakers and system. This is done using the TGR- 401 on screen display (OSD) menus. It can be done either automatically or manually, as can the EQ adjustment. This needs to be done when you use your system for the first time, or if you change anything such as the speak- ers or their position.

Automatic Setup

The TGR-401 comes with a mea- surement microphone that plugs into the front panel microphone input.

Measurement microphone (supplied)

The automatic setup procedure uses the microphone to measure and evaluate your system. After the mea- surements are complete, the levels, crossover frequency, and delay times of the speakers are automatically adjusted for the best performance.

Any problems with the speakers are indicated, for example, it will let you know if there is low output from a speaker, or if the polarity is reversed.

Details of the auto-setup are shown on page 40. Alternatively, you can use the manual procedure to set up your system.
