CHAPTER 3 – TV User Interface
The disc Player 
Your TGM-100 can play CDs and DVDs directly from the

video system, but also as a CD and DVD player.

Recording
You can make new recordings onto the TGM-100’s external 
storage device by recording directly from CDs and DVDs, 
using the disc slot. 
Your TGM-100 can access the Internet, using a broadband 
internet connection (via the Ethernet port), to automatically 
retrieve information about the disc. CD information, includ-
ing artist, album and track names, as well as cover illustra-
tions is retrieved from the Gracenote Music Recognition 
Service. DVD information, including cover art and chapter 
titles, is obtained from GD3 and AMG.
Note: In some countries the copying of material protected 
by copyright law may require permission of the copyright 
owners. The system, as shipped, will only record unen-
crypted DVDs. Encrypted DVDs require the installation of 
3rd party software. Please contact your installer for more 
information.
Audio Recording Quality
The TGM-100 allows you to record music and store it in a 
number of different formats:
mPEG-layer 3 (mP3)
You can record to MP3 at a number of different bit rates.  
Higher bitrates give better quality but take up more space 
on your TGM-100’s external storage device. By default, the 
unit records music at 192Kb VBR MP3. 
WAV (lossless uncompressed) 
The WAV format is uncompressed, which gives the highest 
possible quality, but takes up the most space.
Windows media Audio (WmA)
WMA is a compression format similar to MP3. Again, the 
higher the bitrate you choose, the better the quality and the 
larger the resultant music files.
