CHAPTER 1
5. 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
those made by Xantech and other
companies. The remote sensors
can be in a different room, or in
a preferred location in your main
room.
6. Triggers and Relay
The relay switch is normally open,
and it will close after a short delay,
when selecting a source. This can
be used in in stal la tions to trigger
video screen deployment, or other
custom purposes. The OSD
INPUTS menu allows you to
choose which inputs will activate
the relay.
The +12 VDC outputs are on
whenever their zone is enabled.
Sunfi re amplifi ers have a
+12 VDC input which allows them
to be turned on automatically by
the TGIV. The 1/8” mini-jack is
wired in parallel with the termi-
nals. Do not exceed a current
draw of 500 mA total for both
outputs.

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 TGIV 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 TGIV 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 sig-
nals going to the component
inputs will pass through to your
TV monitor. The TGIV can also
up-convert composite video and
S-video from the other inputs.
