CHAPTER 2
8-Channel Input connections (analog audio)
This input is really useful as an 
input for DVD A, SACD, etc., as a mul-
tichannel direct (DSP-bypass) input.
If your DVD player has its own sur-
round processing circuits you can con-
nect it as shown. The surround back 
inputs can be left disconnected if your 
player does not have these outputs. 
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. 
Note: The eight channels of audio 
from the DVD bypass the DSP circuits 
of the TGP-5, so the tone controls, 
bass management and sur round 
mode se lec tions will have no effect. 
This provides the highest fi delity 
signal path for SACD or DVD-Audio, 
free from any coloration or processor 
circuitry.
This input is only for the Main Zone, 
it is not selectable for Zone 2.
The video output in this example is 
connected to the TGP-5 DVD com-
posite video input. Use the OSD 8-CH 
input confi guration menu to lock the 
8-channel input to DVD video (see 
page 34 for details). Whenever the 
8-channel input is selected, the DVD 
video will also be selected.

In this diagram, the player's digital 
output is also connected. If you select 
the TGP-5's DVD input, you will get 
DVD video and DVD digital audio. 
If you select the TGP-5's 8-Channel 
input, you will get DVD video, and 
analog audio from the 8-channel input.
