Connection Tips
Before setting up your new sys tem,
please consider the following :
Always make sure that your
com po nents are all turned
OFF, or unplugged before
making or changing any
connec tions.
• Whenever possible, route the
power cords away from the signal
cables or speaker wires to pre vent
any hum or in ter fer ence heard in
the speak ers.
• Choose reliable hookup cables.
They should be fully shield ed and
as short as pos si ble.
• 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 ¿ t 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 dam age the jacks of your
TGR-401, or other com po nents.
• 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 con nec tions to be
white, grey or black. Com pos ite
video con nec tions 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 mon i tor.
You must have the TV connected
in order to see the On Screen Display
(OSD). No OSD is available on HDMI.
