3. Component Video In
1. Audio/Video Inputs
The relay switch is normally open,
and it will close after a short delay,
when selecting a source. This can be
used in installations to trigger video
screen deployment, or other custom
purposes. The OSD INPUTS menu
allows you to choose which inputs will
activate the relay.
These inputs connect to the compo-
nent-video outputs of your DVD, SAT
or other video source (VID1) if they
have this advanced capability. When
these inputs are selected, the TGP-5
will automatically route any video
signals going into these jacks to the
component video outputs. Note that
component video provides the best
picture compared to composite or
S-video. The TGP-5 can also switch
HDTV signals.
These audio, composite-video and S-
video inputs connect to the outputs of
your audio video components. 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.
The +12 VDC outputs are on when-
ever their zone is enabled. Sunfire
amplifiers and subwoofers have a +12
VDC input which allows them to be
turned on automatically by the TGP-5.
The 1/8” mini-jack is wired in parallel
with the terminals. Do not exceed a
current draw of 500 mA total for both
outputs.
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 connections allow you to
listen to any selected audio source
through your TV’s speakers.
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

VID2/MON2: connects to the input of
a second VCR for recording, or to
a second TV. When configured 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
5. Infrared (IR) Inputs
The port can also connect to the se-
rial port of a Home Theater Controller,
allowing the TGP-5 to be operated
remotely.
These are used in custom instal-
lations to control the Main Zone and
Zone 2 from a remote location. The
input accepts 1/8” mono mini-jacks
from standard remote control IR
equipment, such as those made by
Xantech and other companies. The

room, or in a preferred location in your
main room.

a digital input has been selected. The
output is a 2 channel downmix if the
digital source is more than 2 chan-

surround back channels. They can
be turned on or off using the Speaker

If your amplifier has a choice of
inputs, we recommend using the XLR
balanced type. This gives better noise
rejection, especially for longer cable
runs.
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 avail-
able in Zone 2.

the TGP-5 will automatically select
the digital input if there is a signal
present, otherwise it will select the
corresponding analog input.
Use these to connect any HDMI
12. Audio Inputs
components you may have in your
system. Two are inputs, and one is
an output to your HDMI-equipped TV.
No TGP-5 on screen display or audio
decoding inside the TGP-5 is avail-
able from the HDMI inputs. Always
connect a separate digital audio input
cable when using HDMI.
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 connected to DAT or TAPE.
Only a turntable with a moving-
magnet, or high-output moving-coil
cartridge can be connected to the
PHONO input.
17. Main Audio Outputs
These line-level RCA outputs con-
nect to the inputs of your amplifiers
and powered subwoofer(s). There are
outputs for front left, front right, cen-
ter, left surround, left surround back,
right surround back, right surround
and three identical subwoofer (LFE)
outputs.
22. IEC Linecord Socket
The TGP-5 comes with a detachable
linecord which connects here.
13. Audio Outputs
These audio outputs connect to the
analog record inputs of your tape
decks, such as DAT, cassette or reel
to reel. These outputs allow you to
record the selected audio program.
Note that these also allow analog
recording from digital audio sources.
Plug the linecord into an AC wall
socket or power strip which is cor-
rectly configured with the voltage
specified for your model.
18. Digital Output
This S/PDIF output is active for all
sources except the 8-channel input. It
allows you to record digital audio, for
example to a DAT or CD-R.
23. Power Switch
If this is switched off, the TGP-5 will
be off, and cannot be turned on, even
with the front panel power switch.
14. 8-CH Input
These analog audio inputs can
connect to the output of an external
surround processor, or a source com-
ponent such as DVD-Audio, SACD,
or a DVD player with its own surround
decoder. You can select this as an
19. Side-Axis Outputs
In normal operation, leave this switch
on. Turn it off if you will not be using
the TGP-5 for extended periods.
These outputs provide two optional
front side channels to complement

CHAPTER 1
Installation
Observe the following precautions
when choosing a location for your
TGP-5:
•
•
Use quality coaxial digital
cables to connect the TGP-5 to
any source equipment which
has coaxial digital outputs.
Video Screen Trigger
The Main Zone and Zone 2
12 VDC terminals each supply 12
VDC whenever that zone is turned
on. This can be used to turn on power
amplifiers equipped with a 12 V trigger
input.
•
Protect it from prolonged
exposure to direct sunlight and
other direct sources of heat,
such as heating vents and
radiators.
Some patch cords can be a
very tight fit and there is usu-
ally a preferred method of get-
ting them off. Some have to be
removed with a twisting action.
Be gentle or you may damage
the jacks of your TGP-5, or
other components.
The two middle terminals marked
as relay contacts are connected to-
gether only when the Main Zone is on
and an input is selected for which the
trigger output is enabled. The OSD
INPUTS Menu can be used to select
which inputs have the trigger output
enabled or disabled (see page 34).
•
Do not expose the unit to rain
or moisture. If fluid or a for-
eign object should enter the
unit, immediately turn off the
power and contact your Sunfire
Dealer.
•
•
Some audiophile cables should
be hooked up in one direction,
these are usually marked with
arrows.
•
•
Avoid excessive exposure to
extreme cold or dust.
Use all standard safety pre-
cautions and make sure all
the equipment is disconnected
before making any connec-
tions.
It is usual for the right channel
patch cord plugs to be red and
the left channel connections to
be white, grey or black. Com-
posite video connections are
usually yellow.
Do not place heavy objects on
top of the unit.
AC Power Considerations
Ensure that the unit is plugged into
an outlet capable of supplying the cor-
rect voltage specified for your model.
Here are two connection options:
THIS TRIGGER RELAY IS
NORMALLY OPEN.
IT CLOSES WHEN YOU SELECT
ANY INPUT WHOSE TRIGGER
HAS BEEN ENABLED
•
If your amplifier or subwoofer
has XLR inputs, use balanced
connections as they provide
superior rejection of hum and
noise, especially if long cables
are required.
Care
TRIGGERS
If you need to clean the front sur-
face, first turn off the power and then
use a soft dry cloth, rubbing with the
grain. Be careful not to scratch the
display window.

TO TURN
The TGP-5 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 com-
posite video.

Connection Tips
Before setting up your new system,
please consider the following :

AMPLIFIER ON
Always make sure that your
components are all turned
OFF, or unplugged before
making or changing any
connections.
DO NOT use the relay con-
tacts for 120 VAC or 240 VAC
switching! They are only for
low voltage AC/DC loads of
2 A maximum.
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.
•
Whenever possible, route the
power cords away from the
signal cables or speaker wires
to prevent any hum or inter-
ference heard in the speakers.
+12V IS PRESENT WHEN AN INPUT WHOSE
TRIGGER IS ENABLED IS SELECTED
You must have the TV connected
in order to see the On Screen Display

analog audio from the 8-channel input.
This provides the highest fidelity
signal path for SACD or DVD-Audio,
free from any coloration or processor

This input is only for the Main Zone,
it is not selectable for Zone 2.
An external surround processor can
also be connected like this. You will
have to connect some of your sources
to the external processor, so it can
process the original signals.
The video output in this example is
connected to the TGP-5 DVD com-
posite video input. Use the OSD 8-CH
input configuration menu to lock the
8-channel input to DVD video (see

it can be connected to the balanced
audio outputs as shown. It is prefer-
able to use the XLR connections if
you have this option, because they of-
fer superior noise rejection compared
to unbalanced (RCA) connections,
especially for long cable runs.
You can also use a Sunfire TGA-

CHAPTER 3
Remote Setup
You must enter the SETUP mode
to program the remote control for the
other components in your system,
and to customize it for your conve-
nience. There is only one way to
enter the SETUP mode:
6. If you could not find a code which
works, hold the UP button to step
through all the codes in the table
for that device. Release UP when
your equipment turns on. If you go
past, press DOWN. Press SAVE
and then EXIT.
1. In the SETUP mode, select FAV.
2. Select the device, such as
SAT, TV or TGP-5, to learn station
commands from.
3. The FAV display will appear, and
you can step through five pages
using PAGE or FAV.
Hold down both the MAIN and
ENT buttons for a few seconds until
SETUP appears in the display.
7. The display will change to show
the devices again, still in the
4. Press a favorite channel button
and the first character will blink.
Use the keypad to enter the chan-
nel number. For channels below
10, you should enter a 0 (zero)
first. If you want, you can enter a
power button before entering the
channel. Also, if your equipment
needs it, you may have to enter
the ENT button after the channel is
entered. If you want to add a short
P-PRO mode. Repeat steps 4 to 7
until all your equipment is working.
The SETUP
display shows 10
options. These are
described in more
detail as follows:
8. Press MAIN to return to the main
menu from any setup mode.
9. Test the remote to see which
buttons will operate your equip-
ment. For example, if you were
trying to control your TV, check
the power, channel up and down,
and volume up and down. If some
of these buttons are not working
correctly, choose another code for
that manufacturer, or you can learn
over those not working by using
the LEARN mode.
P-PRO
The remote is
pre-programmed
to operate many types of equipment.
The P-PRO mode allows you to enter
a 3-digit code to recall the commands
for each of your system components.
delay, press PAUSE (

5. When you have finished with one
channel, press its button, and the
label will reappear. Move on to the
next favorite channel and program
it in the same way. Repeat this
for all the channels and devices.
Press MAIN to return to the top
menu.
1.Find the make of your TV, DVD,
VCR, CD and other components,
then look at the tables at the rear
of this manual. Make a note of the
various codes for each piece. Note
that some TV/VCR combined units
may use VCR codes, not TV.
NOTE: If you accidently "learn
over" one or more of the but-
tons which operate the TGP-5,
fear not. You can use ERASE (see
page 28) to reset either the indi-
vidual buttons, or the whole TGP-5
bank. After erasing, the buttons will
revert to their TGP-5 programming.
6. Now, if you press the molded FAV
button, the favorite channels ap-
pear in the display, and the ones
you programmed will take you to
your favorite channel or radio sta-
tion. If you programmed in a power
command, the TV or tuner will turn
on first.
2.Sit in a position in front of your
equipment, and make sure that all
components are turned off.
3.In the SETUP mode, press P-PRO
and the device labels will appear.
FAV
This mode allows you to enter your
favorite TV and radio stations.
4.Select the device button you want
to program, then choose the de-
vice table you took the code from.
For example, for a TV, press TV
twice. If you want AUX to control a
VCR, press AUX, then press VCR.
7. The commands are sent in se-
quence, for example for channel
13, first the 1 and then the 3 are
sent. Wait a few seconds before
switching between favorites, or
your TV may receive for example,
the 1 of one button and the 2 of
the next.
Note that the following procedure
assumes you have already pro-
grammed your remote to operate your
TV, radio tuner and other equipment.
The keypad must already be able to
select channels on your TV or SAT,
and any TGP-5 tuner presets.
5.You can now enter a code us-
ing the remote’s keypad, or UP
or DOWN. After the third digit is
entered, the remote transmits a
power command. If the component
turns on, press SAVE and then
EXIT. Go to step 7.
Before using FAV mode, use the
EDIT mode to change the labels in
the FAV display to show your station
call signs or reminders. You can also
delete the labels from unused buttons,
or move all your most favorite FAV
labels to page 1.

of the three, by setting the menu
item to Enable. When all three are
disabled, the Info button is also
disabled, and a message appears
on the bottom of this menu. With
all three disabled, the video signal
uses the purest path possible to
route to the monitor. For example,
if you are set to an S-video input
and the monitor is on it’s
S-video feed, then the video is not
digitized in the TGP-5. If you are
up-converting from a composite
video source, or you have pop-
ups enabled, then the video path
for S-video will always be digitized
for smoothest viewing transitions
for the OSD popups.
It also allows the TGP-5 Flash
memory software to be upgraded by

VID2/MON2 OUT
VID2: the VCR2/MON2 outputs
can be used for recording to a
second VCR. There is no OSD,
and the output is muted when
VID2 is chosen as an input (to
prevent feedback).
Control Menu
In most cases, there is no need to
change these settings (all enabled by
default). You should make any chang-
es with caution.
MON2: the VCR2/MON2 output
becomes a second monitor output
(with OSD) for another TV. It will
not mute when VID2 is chosen.
This menu allows you to enable or
disable the RS-232 port and the rear
panel IR remote control connections.
VIDEO DELAY
This adjustment is useful if you
have an external video processor
in your system. Video signals may
become delayed with respect to
the audio signals. Although it is
called Video Delay, it is actually a
delay adjustment of the audio sig-
nals relative to the video signals.
Dig Control allows you to select if
the unit is controlled by LAN (ether-
net) or Serial (RS232). The front panel
IR receiver can also be disabled if
required, but make sure the rear panel
IR receiver is working correctly and is
still active before doing this.
OSD popups are not available on
component out when component
sources are playing. They are
also not available on the HDMI
output.
Use the remote's joystick pad to
adjust the delay in one millisecond
steps. An equal amount of delay is
added to all audio channels.
If you select a baud rate of 19200,
the Ethernet jack will need to be
configured in it’s own setup for 19200
baud (it defaults to 9600).
VID INTERLACE
Video interlacing is normally ON,
and will work with most moni-
tors and projectors. If you notice
any moving artifacts on a paused
video picture, try setting this to
OFF. This will only effect S-Video
and Mon2 Composite outputs.
Note: The speakers keep their
relative time delay settings which
the TGP-5 calculates from the
Speaker Position Menu settings.
The video delay is just added
on top. Leave the video delay at
zero if you have no external video
processor.
The front panel IR can be re-en-
abled by holding down the remote's
MENU button for several seconds,
while pointing it at the front IR window.

Crossover adjustment
The TGP-5 bass management
system allows you to send the low
frequencies of your speakers to a
subwoofer. The crossover point of
your main left and right speakers can
be selected from 40 Hz to 160 Hz, as
can the crossover point of your center
and surround speakers.
Most manufacturers provide a -3 dB
specification for their speakers. This
is the frequency where the speaker's
output has dropped by 3 dB. Set the
TGP-5's crossover to this frequency or
above. If you cannot find this, set the
crossover to 80 Hz (the default).
Subwoofer Mode
The subwoofer output can be set
to Normal, or to an Enhanced Bass
mode.
The Enhanced Bass mode provides
an output to your subwoofer even
when you are listening to a stereo
source with main speakers set to
LARGE. In the Normal mode, there
would be no subwoofer output in this
case, and the bass would only come
from the main speakers.
Set your subwoofer's own cross-
over control to maximum frequency or
bypassed mode. If it is set lower than
the TGP-5, there would be a hole in
the mid-bass, and bass information
would be missing.
For example, if your main left and
right speakers are a bit lacking in bass
response, you can set the speaker
size to SMALL, and set the L-R cross-
over to 40 Hz. The subwoofer will then
receive the lower bass range, (not
well reproduced by your front speak-
ers). This will not affect the range sent
to your center or surrounds.
The Enhanced Bass mode has no
effect if the main speakers are set to
SMALL, as the subwoofer is automati-
cally engaged. It also has no effect in
5.1 or greater surround modes.
A setting of 80 Hz is a good start-
ing point if you are not sure of the
response of your speakers. In this
example:
• The subwoofer receives frequen-
cies below 80 Hz, from all speak-
ers whose size is set to SMALL.
• All speakers set to SMALL, receive
frequencies above 80 Hz.

Using the TGP-5
Video Conversion
The SPEAKER SIZE menu is used
to set the bass management correctly
for your speaker system. See page
38.
The TGP-5 has advanced digital
video DSP circuitry and coding which
allows the following:
Bass Management
Unlike higher frequencies, it is
difficult to discern exactly from which
direction lower bass is coming from.
•
•
•
Up conversion from composite
video inputs to S-video and
component video outputs.
NOTE: Dolby Digital and DTS
modes are designed especially for
complete systems with front, cen-
ter, and surround speakers and
subwoofers. You need all of the
speakers to get the best performance
from your Home Theater. If you do not
have a subwoofer connected, then
you should not use the bass manage-
ment system (so set all the speakers
to Large). Without a subwoofer, you
will be missing the 5.1 LFE (low fre-
quency effects) information.
The TGP-5 has a bass manage-
ment system which takes advantage
of this effect. It allows you to choose
whether your speakers will play the
full frequency range, or if the bass will
be redirected to the subwoofer.
Up conversion from S-video
inputs to component video
outputs.
Down conversion from S-video
inputs to the MON2 composite
video output jack.
The advantages of redirecting the
bass to a subwoofer are :
The video conversion makes the
TGP-5 able to switch all of your video
sources, making it the central con-
troller for all of your audio and video
entertainment.
•
The overall bass of the system
is improved as subwoofers,
such as Sunfire's powered
True Subwoofers are specially
designed for this frequency
range.
Considering the advantages of
the bass management system, you
might try setting all of your speakers
to Small, even if they are capable of
good low-frequency performance.
For example, suppose you have
your TV connected to the compo-
nent video outputs of the TGP-5. Any
of your other video sources can be
connected to the TGP-5, even those
which do not have component video.
The TGP-5 will convert any composite
and S-video sources to component
video.

The subwoofer can simulta-
neously play the bass from all

There is no loss in percep-
tion of the position of movie or
music sound effects, as the ear
cannot easily locate the posi-
tion of bass sound sources.
Notes:
•
Do not connect both compos-
ite and S-video inputs on the
same TGP-5 input. Always
connect the highest quality
video source type.
Smaller speakers can be used
for front, center and sur-
rounds, as they do not have to
reproduce the low frequency
range. This leads to a saving
in speaker expense and room
space. Note that a subwoofer
is required if the front speakers
are set to SMALL.

•
The quality of the converted
output is limited by the quality
of the original source.
The Tuner, Tape and Phono in-
puts do not have video inputs.
When these are selected, the
video stays on the last selected
video source.
•
Your amplifiers do not waste
power reproducing the low
frequency range.
•
The TGP-5 has sophisticated
video circuitry that requires it to
be pre-configured for only one
type of television broadcast
standard. For US models, this
is NTSC and for export mod-
els, this is PAL-BGIH.

CHAPTER 5
Surround Modes for 2-Channel Sources
For 2 channel input sources, you
can choose from the following modes:
In MOVIE mode, Dolby Surround
soundtracks are decoded by the
TGP-5 into separate channels: left
and right channels for off-screen
imaging, a center channel for
most on-screen dialog, and stereo
surround channels for ambience
and special effects. This is the
mode to use for any surround-en-
coded material.
JAZZ CLUB
In this DSP mode, the surrounds
simulate the ambiance caused
by rear reflections and effects of
a small to medium sized venue.
This is useful for adding surround
sound effects to stereo sources.
The ambiance effect can be var-
ied using the OSD MODES menu.

Try MUSIC mode for all of your
stereo programs, and adjust these
extra options to suit your taste:
The CINEMA option can produce
up to six full range, separate
channels and a subwoofer output
from stereo matrix surround
sources. This enhances the play-
back of sources such as surround
sound video tapes, Laser Discs
and broadcast TV programs.

The MUSIC option can expand
normal stereo programs into six
channels. It does so in a natural
sounding way, which enhances
the listening experience.
DOLBY PRO LOGIC IIx extends
the Dolby Pro Logic II technol-
ogy by adding stereo full range
surround back channels. Use this
instead of Dolby Pro Logic II if you
are using the surround back chan-
nels in your system. This also
has Movie and Music options as
described above.
SOURCE DIRECT
STEREO
This mode bypasses all DSP,
Tone, and bass management
circuits. It is stereo analog only,
and offers the shortest signal
path through the TGP-5. Only
the front left and right speakers
are engaged. Do not use this
mode for digital-only sources, as
it only routes the analog audio. To
prevent damage to your speakers,
this mode only works if your front
speakers are set to Large.
This is the conventional two-chan-
nel stereo mode with sound from
your left and right speakers. The
TGP-5 bass management lets you
use your subwoofer to handle the
lower frequency range.
DOLBY PRO LOGIC mode
emulates the original standard
surround mode. It can be used
for source material which is not of
optimum quality, or if you just feel
nostalgic for the way things were.
We recommend that you try the
HOLOGRAPHIC IMAGE when
using stereo sources.
DOLBY PRO LOGIC II and
DOLBY PRO LOGIC IIx
PLII MATRIX mode can be used
for mono sources, or for FM pro-
grams with poor stereo reception.
In addition to these modes, and
those offered for multi-channel sourc-
es, the side-axis speakers will widen
the front sound stage and fill in the
sound field between the front speak-
ers and the surrounds. Note that the
side-axis speakers are active in stereo
as well as multi-channel operation.
These modes allows you to enjoy
many of the benefits of Dolby
Digital (and Dolby Digital EX) from
your stereo sources.
PARTY
This extra stereo mode copies the
front speaker signals to the other
speakers in your system. This
mode adds tremendous presence
to your stereo sources and is
great for parties and casual listen-
ing alike. The OSD menu can be
used to select which speakers are
active in this mode.
DOLBY PRO LOGIC II features
enhanced realism from full range
stereo surround channels. Use
this mode to listen to your stereo
sources in 5.1 surround sound.
It has two options, Movie and
Music, which can be set using the
On Screen Display (OSD) menus.
The Holographic Image can also
be selected for any 2 channel or multi-
channel source for enhanced realism
and depth.

CHAPTER 5
Surround Modes for Multi-Channel Sources
For multi-channel sources, the
TGP-5 will automatically select the
correct mode from one of the follow-
ing:
DOLBY DIGITAL EX (6.1/ 7.1)
from the stereo content of the left
and right surrounds. For example,
Dolby Pro Logic IIx Movie directs
or "steers" some of the left sur-
round signal to the left surround
back, whereas Dolby Pro Logic
IIx Music lets the left surround
remain intact and fills in the left
surround back with additional
material.
Dolby Digital EX mode is primarily
for playback of Dolby Digital Sur-
round EX encoded soundtracks.
One advantage over Dolby Digital
playback is that it fills in the area
behind you with a completely
separate full-range channel.
DOLBY DIGITAL
DOLBY DIGITAL EX
DTS
DTS-ES MATRIX
DTS-ES DISCRETE
The TGP-5 has the option of con-
necting one or two surround back
speakers. The calibration and
speaker size options can create a
seamless surround field.
Dolby Digital and DTS are “5.1”
surround systems with five main chan-
nels: left front, center, right front, left
surround, and right surround. Each
channel can play the full frequency
range and is independent of the
other channels. The “.1” denotes the
subwoofer channel which plays the
low frequency effects (LFE), also inde-
pendent of the other channels.
Although movies are encoded
with either Dolby Digital or Dolby
EX, many sound even better
when using the Dolby Pro Logic
IIx modes. Try it out.
If you have no surround back
speakers, the extra information
is sent to the standard surrounds
and no material is lost. (Set the
surround back speakers to OFF in
the SPEAKER SIZE menu).
DTS (5.1)
This mode is available if the TGP-
5 automatically detects that a DTS
encoded source is present at one
of it’s digital inputs. Look for the
DTS Logo on DVDs, LaserDiscs,
CDs and other sources.
Dolby Digital EX and DTS ES offer
"Extended Surround." Both systems
offer a surround back channel which
effectively fills in the otherwise empty
soundspace behind you.
The TGP-5 will also create the
surround back channel if you are
playing a 5.1 source.
Make sure that you set your
player to output DTS bitstreams.
DTS must also be selected on the
disc's menu.
DOLBY DIGITAL with PRO LOGIC IIx
If you want to try one of the modes
on the previous page, you should se-
lect a 2-channel output from your DVD
player's options menu.
Besides Dolby Digital and Dolby
EX, you may change the Mode
during Dolby Digital playback us-
ing the Mode keys on the remote
or front panel, to Dolby Pro Logic
IIx Music and Dolby Pro Logic IIx
Movie. These two modes create
enhanced stereo back surrounds.
Listen to each Mode to determine
which sounds best on a given
movie.
DTS ES (6.1)
All DTS-ES sources have the
surround back channel matrixed
in the left and right surrounds.
Newer DVD releases also have a
discrete surround back channel, in
addition to the same information
matrixed.
NOTE: In your DVD player's audio
setup menu, set the digital output
to BITSTREAM. If this is not set
correctly, the TGP-5 cannot de-
code the digital information.
DOLBY DIGITAL (5.1)
This mode is available if the
TGP-5 automatically detects a
Dolby Digital encoded source on
the currently selected input. You
should look for the Dolby Digital
Logo on DVDs, LaserDiscs and
other sources.
Dolby Digital uses a maximum
of 5.1 channels and does not
support surround back chan-
nels. Dolby EX supports a mono
surround back channel (or dual-
mono surround back channels if
both left and right surround backs
are used). Dolby Pro Logic IIx
Movie is not an optional mode
when the surround back channel
is configured for only one speaker.
DISCRETE ES sources: the
TGP-5 DTS-ES discrete decoder
will decode the discrete surround
back channel. It also removes the
surround back matrix from the left
and right surrounds, and restores
them to be fully independent
channels.
Many DVDs have the option of
a Dolby Surround, Dolby Digital
or Stereo soundtrack. Follow the
instructions in your DVD player's
manual to output Dolby Digital
bitstreams. Dolby Digital must
often be selected from the Disc's
menu.
MATRIX ES sources: If there is no
discrete surround back channel,
the TGP-5 decodes the matrixed
surround back channel from the
left and right surrounds, and
restores them to be fully indepen-
dent channels.
Dolby Digital plus Pro Logic IIx
Movie or Music uses the Dolby
Pro Logic IIx decoder to create a
stereo surround back soundfield

and right speakers in addition to the
normal program. These extra signals
are virtually identical to the unwanted
second sound arrivals but they are
out-of-phase with them and they can-
cel each other out.
This circuit was designed to over-
come a problem in obtaining accurate
sound reproduction:
Alternatively, the TGP-5 software
can be upgraded using a CD avail-
able from Sunfire Technical Support.
This CD will be available periodically
if there are major software changes
since the initial release.
In a stereo system, both ears will
hear the output from both speakers.
The left ear hears sound from the left
speaker and from the right speaker.
To see a problem with this, compare
what happens when listening to a live
musical performance:
The result is a more three-dimen-
sional and wider soundstage, where
the positioning clues are restored. In
a way, the musicians have been freed
from the confines of the flat plane be-
tween the speakers. You will perceive
them as playing forward or playing
behind the speakers or to one side
or the other, not just somewhere in
between. We recommend that you ex-
periment with its effect, remember that
you are listening for a more accurate
sense of the location of the different
musicians.
The following notes show the CD
upgrade procedure. The CD or DVD
player must be connected to the TGP-
5's digital audio inputs.
During a concert, each ear will
receive one direct sound arrival. For
example, a cymbal crashes, both your
ears will hear it and the brain tells you
accurately the position of the musician.
In a stereo recording of the concert, this
cymbal crash will be heard from both
speakers. The left ear will hear the left
speaker, which is fine, but it will also
hear the crash from the right speaker.
These extra sounds tend to confuse the
sense of sound source location.
1. Turn on your TV, your CD
player and the TGP-5.
2. Use the TGP-5 remote to se-
lect the On Screen Display.
3. Go to the Settings Menu and
then select the Software Menu.
Because the Holographic Image
works by phase cancellation of the
unwanted second sound arrivals, ac-
curate speaker positioning is required.
You must make sure that the left
speaker is the same distance away
from you as the right speaker. Follow
the front speaker placement on the
next page to get the best results. This
is the same as any standard stereo
system, only with more care taken to
position the left and right speakers
accurately.

Pair A are surround speakers, pair B and C are surround back
options, and pair D are side-axis speakers, see the next page.
The Front Speakers
The Center speaker
You should closely follow the
placement recommendations of your
speaker manufacturer, with the addi-
tion of the following points:
If you have a smaller TV, the speak-
ers should be no more than two feet
away from the sides of the TV.
Most movie dialog will come from the
center speaker, so careful positioning is
an important part of a good home the-
ater system. Your eyes and ears should
focus your attention towards the center
of the screen.
If possible, have the center, left
and right speakers at the same height
(within two feet). This will help give a
smooth transition when sound effects
move from speaker to speaker.
The left and right front speakers
should be positioned so that your TV
is exactly centered between them.
This will help focus your attention
towards the screen.
The center speaker can sit on top, or
directly underneath the TV, as long as it
is located on the centerline and not off
to one side.
Ideally, the speakers should be no
For the best Holographic Image, the closer than two feet from the rear and

side walls, in order to reduce any re-
flections that might upset the imaging.
If your speakers are closer than this,
you can experiment by adding sound
deadening material such as drapes
on the walls to reduce any unwanted
reflections.
Position the front face of the
speaker close to the front edge of
the TV cabinet. (The sound waves
may otherwise reflect off the top of
the TV cabinet and distort the center
imaging).

APPENDIX
....Speaker Placement continued
In some systems, two center speak-
ers are used; one on either side of the
TV. As they are in mono, the result
is a sound image that is positioned
exactly at the screen center.
Surround Speakers
Subwoofer Location
Place each surround speaker to
be an equal distance away from your
central listening position, and keep
them at least one or two feet above
ear level.
The TGP-5 has identical out-
put connections for up to three
subwoofers, in addition to a fourth,
balanced sub out.
Side-Axis Speakers
The best location for a single
subwoofer can be found by playing
some heavy bass and proceeding as
follows:
A The diagram on the previous
page shows the use of dipole
surround speakers. These
are usually positioned to the
side of your listening posi-
tion. They radiate forwards
and backwards and have a
quiet null zone which should
point towards the listener. The
overall effect is that you cannot
hear the direct sound from the
surround speakers, just the
average soundfield.
The TGP-5 has two side-axis chan-
nels which are matrixed from the left
and right front channels, so they are
available in stereo as well as surround
modes.
1. Place the subwoofer right
on the seat of your couch or
listening easy chair.
Use the OSD SPEAKER SIZE
menu to turn the SIDE-AXIS channels
ON or OFF (see page 38).
2. You can then either run the
calibration (noise) signal
through it, or simply plug the
analog outputs of a CD player
directly into your subwoofer’s
low-level inputs. Turn down
the subwoofer's volume level
before turning on the CD, then
play some of your favorite mu-
sic samples with heavy bass.
D Shows the typical placement
of the side-axis speakers. You
can also angle them in towards
your listening position. Place
the speakers along the side
walls, close to the fronts.
Conventional surround speakers
can be placed behind the listener, on
the rear walls or the side walls. Adjust
the angle so they do not point directly
at the listener but cause reflections
from the sidewalls or the ceiling. This
will give the effect of broadening the
rear soundstage so that you cannot
distinguish the sound as coming from
a small box on the wall but from a
larger area behind you.
3. Walk around the room, stand-
ing in all the positions where
you might be able to place
the subwoofer. This is usually
somewhere close to the cor-
ners of the room. Try locations
fairly close to the front speak-
ers.
Surround Back Speakers
4. Notice where in the room
the bass output from the
subwoofer sounds the loudest.
Shut things down and install
the subwoofer there.
The TGP-5 has two extra outputs
for surround back speakers. These
create a wonderful sense of realism
in surround effects during playback of
Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Pro Logic IIx,
and DTS ES.
5. This is the best position for the
subwoofer. The bass will sound
the best when you are sitting in
your normal listening position.
The TGP-5 can be configured for
one or two surround back speakers.
Ideally, all the surround speakers
should be of the same make and
model, and fitted at similar heights to
produce a smooth continuous sound-
field.
If you are connecting one surround
back speaker, connect its amplifier
input to the TGP-5 left surround back
output. Place the speaker behind your
listening position.

The RS-232 Port
The TGP-5 has a rear panel
RS-232 Serial communication port.
This allows the FLASH memory to
be upgraded to the latest software by
connecting to a PC.
Update Procedure
External Control
1. The current version level of the
software running your TGP-5
can be found by looking at the
Version Level OSD menu. This
is under the Software OSD
menu (see page 37).
The RS-232 port also allows the
TGP-5 to be controlled externally by
Home Theater controllers and com-
puters.
The TGP-5 software may be updat-
ed to refine operational details and to
include new features. Downloadable
updates will be posted on our website:

The following information is for
programmers and developers:
2. Downloadable updates are on
If the website file is newer than
your current version, follow the
website directions and down-
load the new file onto your
computer's hard drive.

3. Record your calibration, preset
stations or other settings on
page 57. In most cases, the
upgrade will not affect any of
these settings, but it is good to
record them just in case.
PINS 1, 6 and 4 are joined together
internally
PINS 7 and 8 are joined together
internally
4. Turn off your computer and the
TGP-5. Position them close
enough so that they can be
easily connected using your
serial cable. If you have a lap-
top computer, then it may be
easier to bring that close to the
TGP-5. Otherwise, you need
to disconnect the TGP-5 and
move it close to your computer.
PIN 2- Data from TGP-5 to controller
(TGP-5 transmit)
PIN 3- Data from controller to TGP-5
(TGP-5 receive)
PIN 5- Ground/Common
PIN 9- No connection
The RS-232 connector is female.
5. Connect the TGP-5 RS-232
port to the corresponding serial
port on your computer.
Serial Cable
To connect the TGP-5 port to a
computer, you will need a "straight-
through" serial cable. This has con-
nector pins at one end connected
directly to the pins of the connector at
the other end. For example, pin 1 at
one end connects to pin 1 at the other
end, pin 2 connects to pin 2, pin 3 to
pin 3 and so on.
6. Turn on the TGP-5 and your
computer.
7. Find the file you downloaded in
step 2, and run the program.
8. In AUTO mode, the software
will look for an active serial
connection and upload the new
file. The TGP-5 display will
show the status.
These common cables are avail-
able from most computer stores (or
from Radio Shack as # 26-117). It
should be 9-pin male at one end, to
fit into the TGP-5 and normally 9-pin
female at the other, to fit into your
computer's serial port (COM1 or
COM2).
9. When the file transfer is com-
plete, press the Power switch
on the TGP-5 front panel. This
completes the upgrade.
10. Turn off your computer and the
TGP-5, and disconnect the se-
rial cable.

APPENDIX
Troubleshooting Guide
There is no automatic selection of
the Phono input, Tuner, or 8-CH.
• If the bass is weak during Dolby
Digital or DTS playback, check the
correct audio output is selected in
your DVD menu, otherwise it may
just play stereo into your TGP-5
and you won’t get the true LFE
signal to the subwoofer.
The Sunfire TGP-5 is expertly
designed and built to provide years of
trouble-free performance. Most prob-
lems that occur can usually be solved
by checking your setup or making
sure that the audio and video compo-
nents connected to the TGP-5 are on
and fully operational.
Certain inputs cannot be se-
lected
• Check the INPUTS menu of the
OSD (page 34), and make sure
that the input has not been dis-
abled in that particular Zone.
Poor Tuning of Stations
The following information will help
you deal with common setup problems
you may experience during normal
use of your unit. If problems persist,
contact your Sunfire Dealer for help.
• The antenna may be incorrectly
attached.
No TV picture
• Make sure that the video input of
your TV monitor is connected to
the Main monitor output on the
TGP-5 rear panel.
• Station not correctly tuned in, weak
or off the air.
• You can improve reception by us-
ing external antennas. Some cable
TV feeds also offer FM reception.
No sound from one or more
speakers
• Check the VIDEO TYPE is cor-
rect in the Inputs menu of the
OSD (page 34). Select the type of
video input you have connected, or
choose AUTO.
The same AM station can be
heard at different frequencies
• Speaker cables may have come
undone. Turn off your system and
check the cables, and tighten the
binding posts.
• One wire of the AM loop antenna
may not be connected.
• Check that your TV monitor is
selecting it’s correct video input.
• An audio cable may have an inter-
nal break.
• A loop antenna is required for AM
reception, as it forms part of the
front-end tuned circuit.
• Check the video connection from
your selected source component
into the TGP-5.
• The volume level is low for the
channels concerned. Recheck the
calibration procedure (page 40).
Full Automatic does not work
• Make sure that you are using the
same video connections. For ex-
ample, if your source is connected
using S-video, then the TV monitor
must also use S-video.
• Make sure the Fully Automatic
mode is set to ON in the Main
Zone Setup page (page 36) and
that each input is configured for
AUTO ON on their respective
Setup Menu pages (page 34).
• The Mute switch is on.
• The channel has not been turned
on in the Speaker Size Menu
(page 38).
• If in doubt, try connecting the video
output from your source directly to
your TV monitor. This will help you
narrow down the problem.
• The correct surround mode is not
selected. (Some DVD discs are
stereo only).
In order to automatically choose the
new input source, this mode senses
the following active signals: Left audio
signals, Video signals, Digital signals
• Note: In Source Direct mode, only
the front left and right speakers are
engaged. They must also be set to
Large.
• Do not connect more than one type
of video connection to the same
input. Choose only the highest
quality video type.
Note that LD or DVD players
sometimes put out digital signals even
when the disc is paused or stopped.
Make sure that any sources are
turned off when not in use.
No subwoofer or poor output
No Holographic Image
• The subwoofer’s amplifier is off, or
its controls are set low.
• It is essential that your front speak-
ers are positioned correctly. See
pages 49-50.
• Are all speakers set Large?
If a source is always active, the
automatic operation may return to that
input as the analog audio varies. In
this case, you should try and turn off
any unused sources, or turn off the
automatic mode.
• SUB is not switched on in the
Speaker Size Menu (page 38).
• The Holographic Image is most
effective in 2-channel operation. It
gives a more accurate perception
of the position of musicians and
sound effects (page 48). The
results may be masked if you are
using it in a surround mode.
• Recheck the calibration procedure
(page 40).
• Adjust the Crossover and check
Bass Management (page 41-42).
If you are listening to a mono
source, make sure it connects to a left
input, or use a “Y” cord to feed both
left and right inputs.
• See page 50 to find the best loca-
tion for your subwoofer.

source has been selected.
• Make sure that the buttons have
not been erased or learned over.
No Tone Controls
• There is no pop-up text for compo-
nent video connections, but there
is full-page OSD.
• They will not work if you are us-
ing the 8-CH input, Source Direct
mode, or in Zone 2.
• Make sure that the TGP-5 front
panel receiver window is not ob-
structed.
On Screen Display flickers when
engaged
No Dolby Digital, DTS playback
• Check that the front or rear IR
receivers have not been turned off
in the OSD CONTROL menu.
• See page 44
• One of the features of the TGP-
5 is that its OSD circuit is not in
the video signal path all the time.
This allows for the best possible
video quality. When OSD pop up
text appears, or the Main OSD
menus are engaged, there can be
a slight flicker as the OSD circuit is
switched in. Page 37 shows how to
engage or disable some of the pop
up items.
• Make sure your player's digital
output is set to BITSTREAM for
Dolby Digital or DTS. This is often
a player's setup menu item, not the
disc's menu.
Zone 2 does not work
• See page 47
• Zone 2 is set "disabled" from the
factory, so you must use the OSD
Zone 2 menu on page 36 to enable
it when you are ready to use it.
This enables Zone 2, but it does
not turn it on.
• Some discs are available with a
number of different options, such
as Dolby Digital or Dolby Pro
Logic. Make sure that you have
selected the correct mode from
your player’s menu.
• Once Zone 2 is enabled, use the
remote control's Zone 2 device
button, followed by the Power
button to turn Zone 2 on. Alterna-
tively, press the front panel Zone 2
button, followed by the main Power
button.
Sound drops out with CD or
DVD playback
• Only digital inputs will work for
these modes. Check that your
player's digital output is connected
to the appropriate corresponding
digital input on your TGP-5.
• Make sure the disc is not dirty or
scratched.
• Some inexpensive players and
changers tend to mistrack more
often, causing dropouts with an
external DAC.
• There is no AC-3 RF input connec-
tion for LaserDisc players. You will
need an external RF demodulator.
• The front panel (left hand side)
Zone 2 Power light will be on when
the zone is active (i.e. engaged
and on). The Zone 2 Adjust light
turns on when the zone is being
adjusted. For example, if you turn
Zone 2 on with the remote, and ad-
just the volume, Zone 2's volume
changes, and the Zone 2 Adjust
light will be on.
• Look for the Dolby Digital or DTS
Logo on the source program’s box
or sleeve.
Remote won’t Learn
• See page 28
• Make sure you are pointing the
original remote into the receiving
window of the Sunfire remote. This
is located on the top edge of the
remote.
• Check the calibration procedure
from time to time. This is an
excellent way of checking that all
speakers are working correctly.
Noise bursts are heard when
DTS encoded CDs or LDs are
played
Zone 2 does not play digital
inputs
• Try touching and holding the first
button to be learned.
• Do not do the learn procedure in
bright lighting or sunlight.
Zone 2 can play analog sources
independent of what is playing in the
Main Zone. It cannot play from a
digital-only source unless that input
is selected and playing in the Main
Zone. To play a source such as a DVD
player in Zone 2 independent of the
Main Zone, make sure you connect
the player's L/R analog audio output
to the TGP-5.
• Compressed DTS data uses the
normal digital audio tracks of CDs
and LDs. This analog noise may
be heard in your system before the
DTS digital signal is locked on, or it
may appear as a background hiss.
• Make sure the Sunfire remote is
correctly in its LEARN mode.
• Try varying the distance between
the remotes from 1 to 2 inches,
and see if the learn procedure
improves.
• To reduce or prevent this noise,
disconnect any analog connections
to your CD or LD players. Just use
the Digital connections.
Remote will not work
• See pages 25-29
TGP-5 does not respond to any
controls
No On Screen Display
• Make sure the batteries are not
dead, or installed incorrectly.
• See page 30
• Unplug AC power momentarily,
and press Power to turn back on
• Make sure the remote is set on the
correct device display for the com-
ponent you are trying to control.
• Press the remote's MENU but-
ton to activate the OSD. It should
be present even when no video
• If this does not work, try the reset
procedure on the next page.

APPENDIX
• Turn the TGP-5 back on and it will
go to the default screen. It has now
been reset.
• Disconnect any component which
has a grounded power cord.
Your amplifiers shut down often
Check the following:
• If the hum persists, disconnect all
the source components one at a
time from the back of the TGP-5,
until you identify the problem.
• Make sure each speaker's average
impedance is not less than your
amplifiers can safely handle.
• If the TGP-5 has to be reset regu-
larly, you should invest in a good
quality AC line conditioner.
• The amplifiers have good ventila-
tion, no vents are covered.
• Ground loop isolators are available
for audio lines and video. Ask your
Sunfire Dealer for assistance.
Updating firmware problems
• See page 51
• Try setting all the speakers to
Small, and let your subwoofers
handle the heavy bass.
• If you have a Palm Pilot™ or simi-
lar device with “HotSync™” or its
equivalent, you may need to dis-
able this software before proceed-
ing. This software ‘seizes’ control
of a serial port on your machine
and prevents the Sunfire software
from accessing that port. Use an-
other port or disable HotSync.
• Try moving the speaker cables
away from any power cords. Try
just one speaker, connecting it to
different channels and see if an
amplifier channel is bad.
• Check that the amplifier power
output is a good match for your
speakers. If your speakers are
inefficient, consider using larger
power amplifiers.
• If you are still having a problem,
remember that Sunfire’s dealers
and technical support staff will as-
sist you.
Reset procedure
• Check that the serial cable is con-
nected correctly between the TGP-
5 and your computer's serial port.
The TGP-5 is a microprocessor
controlled device of great complexity.
Occasional power fluctuations and
spikes may cause the TGP-5 to "lock
up" or act strangely. Often times a
software problem may be resolved
by completely powering off the unit,
waiting 30 seconds and then plugging
the unit back in. Try this method first
before using the Full Reset procedure
described below as follows:
Other causes of noise
• Speaker noise may also be caused
by interference or noise on your
AC line. Make sure there are no
large appliances sharing the line,
or halogen lamps or light-dimming
Triac devices.
A Hum is heard in your speakers
This problem is more than likely
caused by a “ground loop” in your sys-
tem, rather than a fault in the TGP-5.
Follow these steps to isolate the main
cause of the hum, there may even be
more than one.
• Try connecting your system to an-
other AC socket on a separate line.
• If the hum is heard from within the
TGP-5 and not through the speak-
ers, this may also be caused by
interference on the AC or DC lines.
The power transformers may turn
this interference into an audible
noise. Internal hum can be made
worse by a shelf or cabinet reso-
nating, so try moving the TGP-5 to
another shelf.
• Remember to turn off all compo-
nents in your system, including the
TGP-5, before disconnecting or
connecting any cables.
Warning: the TGP-5 will be re-
set to the factory defaults, and
will clear all memory. All your
stored OSD settings and Tuner
presets will be erased.
• Disconnect the following items in
order, and check each time if the
hum has gone away:
• On page 57, write down your
calibration settings, input settings,
Tuner presets, and any other set-
tings you have made.
• Disconnect all cables which come
from outside the room, such as
cable TV, satellite TV, or roof top
antennas. Make sure that they are
disconnected where they first enter
the room, so they are making no
connection to the TGP-5 or the TV,
or any other component. If the hum
is caused by the cable TV line,
then you will need a “ground loop
isolator.” This is an inexpensive
device fitted in line with the coaxial
cable feed. Contact your cable
company or your Sunfire Dealer for
assistance.
• Try moving your components further
away from the TV, especially if
you ever notice the screen has
changed color in the area closest
to the component.
• Press the power button to turn the
unit off, or turn it off from the wall
for a moment.
• Press and continue to hold down
the front panel Power button and
the Tone DOWN button at the
same time.
• If you have very high efficiency
speakers, these may show up
noise which other speakers may
not.
• The TGP-5 will power on and cycle
through the display. Keep holding
the buttons down until "Resetting
to Factory Defaults" appears in the
front panel display
• When the TGP-5 has been reset, it
will shut off.
• Disconnect all connections from
the TGP-5 to your TV.

Addendum
Surround Modes for Multi-Channel Sources
This addendum sheet replaces
page 44 of your owner's manual. A
new feature has been added to the
TGP-5, see DTS(5.1), third paragraph.
DOLBY DIGITAL EX (6.1/ 7.1)
back, whereas Dolby Pro Logic
IIx Music lets the left surround
remain intact and fills in the left
surround back with additional
material.
Dolby Digital EX mode is primarily
for playback of Dolby Digital Sur-
round EX encoded soundtracks.
One advantage over Dolby Digital
playback is that it fills in the area
behind you with a completely
separate full-range channel.
For multi-channel sources, the
TGP-5 will automatically select the
correct mode from one of these:
Although movies are encoded
with either Dolby Digital or Dolby
EX, many sound even better
when using the Dolby Pro Logic
IIx modes. Try it out.
DOLBY DIGITAL
DOLBY DIGITAL EX
DTS
DTS-ES MATRIX
DTS-ES DISCRETE
The TGP-5 has the option of con-
necting one or two surround back
speakers. The calibration and
speaker size options can create a
seamless surround field.
DTS (5.1)
This mode is available if the TGP-
5 automatically detects that a DTS
encoded source is present at one
of it’s digital inputs. Look for the
DTS Logo on DVDs, LaserDiscs,
CDs and other sources.
Dolby Digital and DTS are “5.1”
surround systems with five main chan-
nels: left front, center, right front, left
surround, and right surround. Each
channel can play the full frequency
range and is independent of the
other channels. The “.1” denotes the
subwoofer channel which plays the
low frequency effects (LFE), also inde-
pendent of the other channels.
If you have no surround back
speakers, the extra information
is sent to the standard surrounds
and no material is lost. (Set the
surround back speakers to OFF in
the SPEAKER SIZE menu).
Make sure that you set your
player to output DTS bitstreams.
DTS must also be selected on the
disc's menu.
The TGP-5 will also create the
surround back channel if you are
playing a 5.1 source.
NOTE: Besides DTS 5.1, you
also can press the Mode keys
on the remote or front panel and
play DTS 5.1 with Pro Logic IIx
Music processing to create stereo
back surround channels. Pressing
either Mode key again will return
you to stock DTS 5.1 playback.
Dolby Digital EX and DTS ES offer
"Extended Surround." Both systems
offer a surround back channel which
effectively fills in the otherwise empty
soundspace behind you.
DOLBY DIGITAL with PRO LOGIC IIx
Besides Dolby Digital and Dolby
EX, you may change the Mode
during Dolby Digital playback us-
ing the Mode keys on the remote
or front panel, to Dolby Pro Logic
IIx Music and Dolby Pro Logic IIx
Movie. These two modes create
enhanced stereo back surrounds.
Listen to each Mode to find which
sounds best on a given movie.
If you want to try one of the modes
on the previous page, you should se-
lect a 2-channel output from your DVD
player's options menu.
DTS ES (6.1)
All DTS-ES sources have the
surround back channel matrixed
in the left and right surrounds.
Newer DVD releases also have a
discrete surround back channel, in
addition to the same information
matrixed.
NOTE: In your DVD player's audio
setup menu, set the digital output
to BITSTREAM. If this is not set
correctly, the TGP-5 cannot de-
code the digital information.
Dolby Digital uses a maximum
of 5.1 channels and does not
support surround back chan-
nels. Dolby EX supports a mono
surround back channel (or dual-
mono surround back channels if
both left and right surround backs
are used). Dolby Pro Logic IIx
Movie is not an optional mode
when the surround back channel
is configured for only one speaker.
DOLBY DIGITAL (5.1)
This mode is available if the
TGP-5 automatically detects a
Dolby Digital encoded source on
the currently selected input. You
should look for the Dolby Digital
Logo on DVDs, LaserDiscs and
other sources.
DISCRETE ES sources: the
TGP-5 DTS-ES discrete decoder
will decode the discrete surround
back channel. It also removes the
surround back matrix from the left
and right surrounds, and restores
them to be fully independent
channels.
Dolby Digital plus Pro Logic IIx
Movie or Music uses the Dolby
Pro Logic IIx decoder to create a
stereo surround back soundfield
from the stereo content of the left
and right surrounds. For example,
Dolby Pro Logic IIx Movie directs
or "steers" some of the left sur-
round signal to the left surround
Many DVDs have the option of
a Dolby Surround, Dolby Digital
or Stereo soundtrack. Follow the
instructions in your DVD player's
manual to output Dolby Digital
bitstreams. Dolby Digital must
often be selected from the Disc's
menu.
MATRIX ES sources: If there is no
discrete surround back channel,
the TGP-5 decodes the matrixed
surround back channel from the
left and right surrounds, and
restores them to be fully indepen-
dent channels.
