CHAPTER 1

Quick Start Guide

We hope that the following details
will help you get started using your
Theater Grand Processor III.
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 batteries to the remote control.
3. Connect your source equipment
and amplifi ers to the TGIII. See the
hookup diagrams on pages 15-24.
Make sure that all of your
equipment remains unplugged
from the AC mains until you
have made all the connections.
4. Connect the speakers to your am-
plifi ers.
5. In your DVD player's Audio setup
menu, set the digital output to
BITSTREAM. If this is not set cor-
rectly, the TGIII cannot decode the
digital information for 5.1 surround
sound playback.
6. The TGIII has a bass management
system which 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 redirect-
ed. See page 42 for more details.
Make a note of which speak-
ers you would like to play the full
frequency range (Large) and those
which will have the bass redirected
(Small). Also make a note of the
approximate distance of each
speaker from your listening posi-
tion.
7. Turn on the TGIII, and then turn
on your amplifi ers, TV and other
source equipment.

13. The TGIII now needs to be setup
correctly to suit your speakers and
system. The following On Screen
Display (OSD) menus are used to
enter and make three main adjust-
ments:
• Speaker Size
• Speaker Calibration
• Speaker Position
This setup needs to be done when
you use your system for the fi rst
time, or if you change anything
such as the amplifi ers or speak-
ers, or the speaker position. The
calibration is also a good way to
check that your system is working
correctly. These adjustments are
made using the OSD as follows:
13.1 Press MENU on the remote to
bring up the MAIN Menu of the
OSD on your TV.

menus in the next
steps.
NOTE: you can quit the OSD at
any time by pressing EXIT on the
remote. Any changes you make
will be saved. There is no need to
navigate back through previous
pages, unless you want to make
more changes.
When the OSD is active, the TGIII
front panel display shows an ab-
breviated message of where you
currently are in the menus.
