1. Audio/Video Inputs
These audio, composite-video
and S-video inputs con nect to the
outputs of your audio video com-
po nents. When these inputs are
selected, the audio will be heard
in your system, and the video will
be seen on the TV screen. VID2
can be used for a second VCR.
2. Audio/Video Outputs
MAIN: connects to the inputs of a TV
monitor, where the video of
any selected input and the On
Screen Display (OSD) can be
viewed. The audio con nec -
tions allow you to listen to any
selected audio source through
your TV's speak ers.
VCR: connects to the inputs of a
VCR to allow recording.
VID2/MON2: connects to the input
of a second VCR for recording,
or to a second TV. When con-
fi gured in the OSD for "VID2,"
this output is muted whenever
the VID2 input is selected. This
prevents feedback; also there
is no OSD then on this output.
When confi gured for "MON2,"
the output is always active, the
same as the Main output.

Note: Analog audio signals are
present at these L and R outputs
even if a digital input has been
selected. The output is a 2 chan-
nel downmix if the digital source is
more than 2 channels.
3. Component Video In
These inputs con nect to the
component-video outputs of your
DVD, SAT or other video source
(VID1) if they have this advanced
capability. When these inputs are
se lect ed, the TGR-3 will au to mat i-
cal ly route any video signals going
into these jacks to the component
video outputs. Note that com-
ponent video provides the best
picture compared to composite
or S-video. The TGR-3 can also
switch HDTV signals.
4. Component Video Out
If your TV Monitor has component
video inputs, connect them to
these outputs. If you select DVD,
SAT or VID1, then any video
signals going to the component
inputs will pass through to your
TV monitor. The TGR-3 can also
up-convert composite video and
S-video from the other inputs.

5. Speaker-level Outputs
These speaker-level audio out-
puts connect to the inputs of your
speakers. The outputs are: front
left, front right, center, left sur-
round, and right surround. The
outer two outputs can be assigned
as surround back outputs, Zone 2
outputs or side-axis outputs, see
page 41 for details.
6. FM Antenna
The supplied FM antenna fi ts
this "F-type" screw-on connector.
Other antennas can be fi tted for
improved re cep tion.
7. AM Antenna
These con nec tions are for the in-
cluded AM loop antenna.
8. Ground Screw
This is commonly used for the
ground con nec tion wire of a turn-
table, to prevent any hum in your
speakers. It is tied to the chas-
sis ground, and may be used as
needed.
Note: It is not necessary or desir-
able to connect this to an electri-
cal ground.
