9. Audio Inputs

These audio inputs connect to
the outputs of your turntable, DAT
or TAPE player. Any standard
audio component with a line-level
output can be con nect ed to DAT
or TAPE. Only a turntable with a
moving-magnet, or high-output
moving-coil cartridge can be con-
nected to the PHONO input.

10. Audio Outputs

These audio outputs connect to
the analog record inputs of your
tape decks, such as DAT, cas-
sette or reel to reel. These outputs
allow you to record the selected
audio program. Note that these
also allow analog re cord ing from
digital audio sourc es.
11. 8-CH Input
These analog audio inputs can
connect to the output of an ex-
ternal surround processor, or a
source component such as DVD-
Audio, SACD, or a DVD player
with its own surround decoder.
You can select this as an input
from the front panel or remote
control. The eight channels of
analog audio will then pass into
the TGR-3.
Note: This is designed to be a
very short analog-only signal path.
DSP-based effects such as tone
controls, bass management and
DSP surround are bypassed. This
input is not available in Zone 2.
12. Stereo Outputs
FIXED MAIN is a line-level output,
and the volume is not adjustable.
This can be used as a record
output, or to feed another audio
system.
ZONE 2 connects to the inputs
of a stereo amplifi er to run Zone
2. The volume and source are
adjustable, either from the front
panel, or from a remote IR sensor.
User's Manual

13. Digital Inputs

These inputs connect to the digital
outputs of your audio/video com-
po nents. The DVD, SAT and VID1
and CD inputs have two op tions,
optical or coaxial. The DAT and
VID2 inputs are coaxial only.
Whenever one of these inputs is
selected from the front panel or
remote, the TGR-3 will au to mat i-
cal ly select the digital input if there
is a signal present, otherwise
it will select the cor re spond ing
analog input.
14. Main Audio Out puts
These line-level RCA outputs con-
nect to the inputs of your ampli-
fi ers and powered subwoofer(s).
There are outputs for front left,
front right, center, left surround,
left surround back, right surround
back, right surround and three
identical subwoofer (LFE) outputs.

15. Digital Output

This S/PDIF output is active for
all sources except the 8-chan-
nel input. It allows you to record
digital audio, for ex am ple to a DAT
or CD-R.

16. Ethernet Port

See page 51 for details.
17. Side-Axis Outputs
These outputs provide two
optional front side channels to
com ple ment the left, center, right,
surround and surround back
chan nels. They can be turned
on or off using the Speaker Size
OSD menu (see page 38).
18. Infrared (IR) Inputs
These are used in custom in stal -
la tions to control the Main Zone
and Zone 2 from a remote loca-
tion. The input accepts 1/8" mono
mini-jacks from standard remote
control IR equipment, such as
CHAPTER 1
those made by Xantech and other
companies. The remote sensors
can be in a different room, or your
main room.
19. RS-232 Port
See page 51 for details.
20. Triggers and Relay
See the next page for details.
21. IEC Linecord Socket
The TGR-3 comes with a de-
tach able linecord which connects
here.
Plug the linecord into an AC wall
socket or power strip that is cor-
rectly confi gured with the voltage
spec i fi ed for your model.
22. HDMI
Use these to connect any HDMI
components you may have in
your system. Two are inputs,
and one is an output to your
HDMI-equipped TV. No TGR-3 on
screen display or audio decoding
inside the TGR-3 is available from
the HDMI inputs. Always connect
a separate digital audio input
cable when using HDMI.
23. AC Line Fuse
Always unplug the linecord
from the AC Mains before
checking or changing the
fuse. Use a Screwdriver
and gently twist off the fuse
holder.
If this fuse blows, you must
replace it with a fuse of exactly
the same size and current rating.

24. Power Switch

If this is switched off, the TGR-3
will be off, and cannot be turned
on, even with the front panel
power switch.
In normal operation, leave this
switch on. Turn it off if you will not
be using the TGR-3 for extended
periods.
