CHAPTER 1
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 when-
ever their zone is enabled. Sunfi re 
amplifi ers 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. 
7. RS-232 Port
This connects to the serial port of a 
home computer, allowing the TGP-5 
Flash memory software to upgraded. 
Latest software can be downloaded 
from www.sunfi re.com.
The port can also connect to the se-
rial port of a Home Theater Controller, 
allowing the TGP-5 to be operated 
remotely.
8. XLR Audio Outputs
These line-level balanced XLR 
outputs connect to the XLR inputs 
of your amplifi ers and powered 
subwoofer. The outputs are: front left, 
front right, center, left surround, left 
Rear Panel Fea tures
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 confi 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 ac-
tive, the same as the Main output.
Note: Analog audio signals are pres-
ent at these L and R outputs even if 
a digital input has been selected. The 
output is a 2 channel downmix if the 
digital source is more than 2 chan-
nels.
3. Component Video In
These inputs con nect 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 se lect ed, the TGP-5 
will au to mat i cal ly 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.
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 
the component 
inputs will 
pass through to your TV monitor. The 
TGP-5 can also up-convert compos-
ite video and S-video from the other 
inputs.
5. Infrared (IR) Inputs
These are used in custom in stal -
la tions 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 
remote sensors can be in a different 
room, or in a preferred location in your 
main room.
