NOTE TO CATV INSTALLER

This reminder is to call the CATV system installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guide-

lines for proper grounding and in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding

system of the building as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

OUTSIDE ANTENNA GROUNDING

If an outside antenna is connected to the receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide

some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code,

NSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna-discharge

unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure above.

CHAPTER 1

1. Introduction

Unpacking

Your TGM-100 should reach you in perfect condition. If

you do notice any shipping damage, please contact your

Sunﬁre Dealer immediately.

Gently lift out the unit and remove all the packing mate-

rial and accessories. It is important to save all the packing

materials and the box in case your TGM-100 ever needs to

be moved or returned for service.

Make sure that you keep your sales receipt. It is the only

way to establish the duration of your Limited Warranty and

it may come in useful for insurance purposes.

Please take a moment to ﬁll out and mail the Sunﬁre Cus-

tomer Response card. Also read the serial number located

on the rear panel, and record it here:

Pre-Installation Information

For detailed safety instructions when installing and operat-

ing the TGM-100, either as Server or Client, please refer to

the User's Guide.

It is essential that you can control the TGM-100 once it is

connected and that you have access to the unit’s TV User

Interface at the same location as the control source. In

some installations, the TGM-100 may be in a different room

from the Digital Video display. Without proper planning of

the TGM-100 conﬁguration during installation, conﬁguration

may be problematic.

There are a number of options available in these circum-

stances. These include:

1. Temporarily connect an HDMI display directly to the

TGM-100’s Digital Video connector using short cables

and conﬁgure the TGM-100 using the remote control.

2. Ensure that the control system is properly conﬁgured

and the TGM-100 is controllable via IR from the room in

which the digital television is located.

DVD Region

DVDs are encoded differently in different parts of the world;

for example, a North American DVD drive can’t read a

European DVD. The drive’s DVD region code is set the ﬁrst

time a DVD is inserted into the disc player. Once the region

has been set, it cannot be changed.

Required Equipment

Make sure that the following equipment is available in order

to complete the installation:

• A Sunﬁre TGM-100 and remote control.

• If installing a TGM-100C Client, you must have a

TGM-100 Server and remote control as well.

• ATGM-HDC or TGM-HD1 external storage device.

• ATV for the TGM-100 Server.

• ATV for any TGM-100C Clients installed in the system.

• A USB keyboard and mouse.

• An Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN).

• CDROM or USB Memory Device with application

installer.

• All required cables and connectors.

HDMI VIDEO

Use the HDMI connector to connect your TGM-100 to a digital

ﬂat-panel television or projector. HDMI Output is usually connect-

ed 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.

• If your digital TV can decode the signal, simply connect it to the

HDMI socket on the back of the TGM-100.

• If your digital TV does not decode the signal, noise will be emit-

ted by the TV’s speakers. In this case you should mute the TV’s

volume and connect an ampliﬁer with this capability to the digital

output (

) of the TGM-100.

DVI VIDEO

Connect to TGM-DVC DVI to Composite Video Converter to view

video on a Touch panel Controller or TV/Monitor w/ a DVI input.

ESATA

Use this socket to connect a Sunﬁre eSATA drive.

COMPONENT VIDEO OUT

Connect the Y, PBand PRComponent Video Out of the Media-

Server to the Y, PBand PRCOMPONENT VIDEO IN of a suitable

TV to display the TV User Interface. You may also need to switch

the TV to the relevantAUX input to display the picture.

COMPOSITE VIDEO OUT

Connect the composite Video Out of the TGM-100 to the com-

posite input of a suitable PAL or NTSC TV to display the TV User

Interface. You may also need to switch the TV to the relevant AUX

input to display the picture.

S-VIDEO OUT

Connect the S-VIDEO output of the TGM-100 to the S-VIDEO

input of a suitable PAL or NTSC TV to display the TV User Inter-

face. You may also need to switch the TV to the relevant AUX

input to display the picture.

ANALOG AUDIO OUT

This analog audio output should be connected to the input jacks

of a pre-ampliﬁer, receiver or whole-house controller.

IR INPUT

The IR INPUT connection allows remote control information to be

carried from other devices directly into the TGM-100.

COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT

By connecting the coaxial jack to a digital audio component (D/A

converter, A/V ampliﬁer etc.), digital signals from the TGM-100

can be transmitted directly from the system without ﬁrst being con-

verted to analog. This output may not be used for making a digital

copy of your media.

OPTICAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT

The digital optical output can be used to transmit high quality

audio to a device with a digital optical input (D/A converter, A/V

ampliﬁer etc.) using an optical ﬁber cable. The advantage of using

the optical output is that it has low signal loss and is completely

isolated from the ground loop.This output may not be used for

making a digital copy of your media.

LAN (ETHERNET) PORT

The Ethernet port is used to connect the TGM-100 to a Gigabit

Ethernet network or high speed Internet connection.

USB PORT

Allows the TGM-100 to communicate with supported USB

devices.

RS-232 PORT

For use w/ third-party control systems.

POWER CONNECTOR

Connect the supplied power cord to this connector to provide

power to the unit.

CHAPTER 2

2. Connections

Multi-Room Connections

The TGM-100 is a versatile device capable of communi-

cating with a number of multi-room control systems. The

installation and conﬁguration of such complex control sys-

tems varies, depending on the manufacturer. We recom-

mend that you do not attempt installation with such devices

before acquiring training or documentation from the control

system manufacturer.

The illustration below shows a typical multi-room conﬁgura-

tion, incorporating a TGM-100 Server, TGM-100C Clients

and different types of external storage devices. Output

channels from the TGM-100 may be connected to a multi-

room control system so that they can be distributed to

different rooms around the home. In order for the TGM-100

to communicate with the multi-room control system, a con-

Each TGM-100C Client in the system acts as an additional

independent digital and analog video and audio output.

TGM-100C Clients only support external storage via a

TGM-100 Server.
