CHAPTER 1 TGM-100 Rear View 1 14 1 13 12 2 11 HDMI VIDEO Use the HDMI connector to connect your TGM-100 to a digital flat-panel television or projector. HDMI Output is usually connected to the main television used for viewing movies in your home. To take advantage of the Surround Sound Audio Format, it is necessary to connect the audio output to a device capable of decoding the surround sound signal.
CHAPTER 2 2. Connections Multi-Room Connections The TGM-100 is a versatile device capable of communicating with a number of multi-room control systems. The installation and configuration of such complex control systems varies, depending on the manufacturer. We recommend that you do not attempt installation with such devices before acquiring training or documentation from the control system manufacturer.
CHAPTER 2 Audio/Video Connections Your TGM-100 can play a DVD or an audio CD from either a remote storage device or the disc player on the front of the unit. Video output can be HDMI, Component, S-video or Composite. Once installed, the required output should be connected before the unit is switched on and will be detected automatically. If all video outputs are connected, then the HDMI output takes priority and will be displayed. This setting can be overriden manually (see User Guide, Settings section.
CHAPTER 2 Analog Audio Connections The Analog Audio output is connected to an audio routing device such as an A/V Receiver or Multi-Room Controller using stereo RCA audio cables.

CHAPTER 2 Video Connections HDMI Video Connections The TGM-100 has two video channels (Analog and Digital), which may be connected in several combinations, depending on system design. Analog outputs include Component, S-video, Composite and Component video and are grouped together on the rear of the unit. Digital outputs include HDMI and DVI and are also grouped together. HDMI (digital) Video provides the best video display.
CHAPTER 2 Component Video Connections Component Video offers very high quality video and should be used for systems that do not have HDMI capabilities. Use high quality Component Video cables to connect directly to a TV, or use an A/V Receiver's Component Video switching capabilities. For Multi-Room systems, connect the TGM-100's Component Video outputs to a Multi-Room Component Video Switcher or Multi-Room Controller that has on-board Component Video switching capabilities.
CHAPTER 2 S- Video Connections S- Video should be used for systems that do not have HDMI or Component capabilities. Use high quality S-Video cables to connect directly to a TV, or use an A/V Receiver's S-Video switching capabilities. Because S-Video has a relatively short distance restriction, it is not recommended to use this format for Multi-Room systems; instead use Component or Composite Video.
CHAPTER 2 Composite Video Connections Composite Video offers the lowest quality video of the options available on the TGM-100, however, Composite Video also offers the longest range of any of the options available and so is a good choice for whole-house video distribution. Use high quality Composite Video cables to connect directly to a TV, an A/V Receiver, a Composite Video Switcher or a Multi-Room Controller.
