of the speakers are automatically
adjusted for the best performance.
Any problems with the speakers
are indicated, for example, it will let
you know if there is low output from a
speaker, or if the polarity is reversed.
Details of the auto-setup are
shown on page 40. Alternatively, you
can use the manual procedure to set
up your system.
User's Manual
CHAPTER 1
Manual Setup
There are three main manual adjustments that can be made using the
SPEAKERS OSD menu:
1. The SPEAKER SIZE menu allows you to enter the crossover
frequency of each speaker. Using
bass management, any bass
below the crossover frequency will
be redirected to your subwoofer.
2. The LEVEL CALIBRATION menu
allows you to adjust the level of
each speaker until they are all
playing at the same level. (The
level calibration test tones are
also a quick way to check that all
your speakers are working.)
3. The SPEAKER DISTANCE menu
allows you to enter the distance
that each speaker is away from
your listening position. The TGR401 then calculates the delay
times.
Details of the manual setup procedure are shown on page 39.
EQ Adjustment
The measurement microphone can
also be used to measure the system
response and adjust the EQ automatically. This will provide a smooth
response and remove room effects.

These allow the TGR-401 to control the turn-on of other trigger-enabled equipment in your system.
16. IEC Line Cord Socket
The TGR-401 comes with a
detachable linecord that connects
here.
Plug the line cord into an AC wall
socket or power strip that is correctly configured with the voltage
specified for your model.
17. AC Line Fuse
Optional Olé-2SF Film Interactive touchpads are available for
external control of Zone 2 or the
Main Zone.
The Infrared (IR) Input on the
TGR-401 utilizes Tip as +12V, Ring
as IR, and Sleeve as Ground. In
order to correctly utilize standard
two or three wire IR equipment,
the wiring needs to be connected
as shown.
Zone 2 (2)
Standard IR Sensor
IR
GND
+12VDC
These wall-mounted touchpads
connect to TP1 or TP2 using standard CAT-5 cable.

t the receiver inside a sealed
cabinet without good air ow.
• Protect it from prolonged exposure
to direct sunlight and other direct
sources of heat, such as heating
vents and radiators.
• Do not expose the unit to rain or
moisture. If uid or a foreign object
should enter the unit, immediately
turn off the power and contact your
Sunre Dealer.

Connection Tips
Video Connections
Before setting up your new system,
please consider the following :
The TGR-401 has four types of
video connections: composite video,
S-video, component video and HDMI.
Choose component or S-video if your
video system supports it, as this will
give better picture quality than composite video.
Always make sure that your
components are all turned
OFF, or unplugged before
making or changing any
connections.
• Whenever possible, route the
power cords away from the signal
cables or speaker wires to prevent
any hum or interference heard in
the speakers.
• Choose reliable hookup cables.
They should be fully shielded and
as short as possible.
When an audio/video component
is selected, the audio will play in your
system and the video will be switched
to a video input of your TV monitor.
You must have the TV connected
in order to see the On Screen Display
(OSD). No OSD is available on HDMI.
• Use quality coaxial digital cables
to connect the TGR-401 to any
source equipment which has coaxial digital outputs.
• Some patch cords can be a very
tight t and there is usually a
preferred method of getting them
off. Some have to be removed
with a twisting action. Be gentle or
you may damage the jacks of your
TGR-401, or other components.
• Some audiophile cables should be
hooked up in one direction, these
are usually marked with arrows.
• It is usual for the right channel
patch cord plugs to be red and
the left channel connections to be
white, grey or black. Composite
video connections are usually yellow.
