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.

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 (

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

Installation Manual
CHAPTER 2
Video Connections
The TGM-100 has two video channels (Analog and Digital),
which may be connected in several combinations, depend-
ing on system design. Analog outputs include Compo-
nent, S-video, Composite and Component video and are
grouped together on the rear of the unit. Digital outputs
include HDMI and DVI and are also grouped together.
Typically, video is connected to an A/V Receiver, a TV or
a video distribution controller to broadcast the video to a
number of different rooms around the home.Any of the
above connection types may be used for this purpose, de-
pending on the video distribution device being utilized.
HDMI Video Connections
HDMI (digital) Video provides the best video display. HDMI
can be connected directly to a TV, or can be connected
to an A/V Receiver with HDMI switching capabilities, then
to the TV. If connecting the HDMI output directly to a TV,
make sure to connect the Digital or Analog Audio outputs
to an A/V Receiver or Multi-Room Controller as described
previously. If connecting the HDMI output to an A/V Receiv-
er that supports audio over HDMI, additional Audio connec-
tions are unnecessary. HDMI video has a relatively short
range and should not normally be used for whole-house
distribution systems.
Note: HDMI carries digital audio information as well as
video information. See Digtal Audio Connections for ad-
ditional information

Notes on Video Connections
It is very important to have the entire system designed and
all products specified prior to installation. When developing
applications and configuring connections, special atten-
tion must be paid to the types of video outputs that will be
utilized.
The TGM-100 essentially has two video busses active at
any one time. The HDMI and DVI outputs comprise one
bus; the S-Video, Composite Video and Component Video
comprise the other. In almost all cases, the TGM-100
Digital Media Server will display its GUI on a primary TV
display (or multiple TVs).
The best video performance will be obtained by using the
TGM-100’s HDMI output connected to a High Definition TV.
The HDMI output can be used simultaneously with the S-
Video, Component Video and/or Composite Video outputs,
depending on the application. When the HDMI output is
being utilized, the DVI output should not be connected.
The following chart summarizes the video outputs and their
compatibility:
Output Option #1 Option #2 Option #3
HDMI Primary
DVI Secondary
(Touch Panel) Secondary (Touch Panel)
S-Video Primary
Composite Primary
Component Primary
In systems that utilize touch panels that display Compos-
ite Video, Option #2 should be used for the best primary
video display where Component Video inputs are available.
In situations where Component Video inputs are not avail-
able, use Option #3.
Note: When the S-Video and/or Composite Video Outputs
are connected, the Component Video output becomes
unavailable.
The DVI output is for use only with the Sunfire TGM-DVC
DVI to Composite Video Converter when touch panels are
being utilized in the system. Further information is available
in Touch Panel Video Connections on page 16 of this
manual and in the TGM-DVC Installation Manual.

Network Connections
Connection of the TGM-100 to a home network (and the
Internet) is required for full functionality. Ethernet connec-
tivity requires the use of a switch and/or router for com-
munications between the TGM-100 and any connected
iSCSI storages devices as well as the Internet. At least one
computer should be present on the network to permit the
import and export of music files to and from the TGM-100
as well as software updates, system settings and retrieval
of information about CDs and DVDs from Internet databas-
es. A typical system setup is shown in the diagram below.

eSATA Connections
The TGM-HD1 is a 1 Terabyte External Storage Device
that utilizes an eSATA cable to connect directly to the
TGM-100. The TGM-HD1 does NOT connect to the home
network previously described. To connect the TGM-HD1 to
the TGM-100:
1. The Raid Selection Switch is preset to 'safe 100'. If this
switch is set to something else, contact Sunfire techni-
cal Support.
2. Plug the TGM-HD1 into the eSATA socket on the back
of the TGM-100 Server only. TGM-100 Clients only sup-
port external storage via a TGM-100 Server.
3. Set the Power Switch (Off Auto On) to the middle
'Auto' position for Automatic power control. This allows
the TGM-HD1 to power On and OFF when the TGM-
100 powers On and Off.
4. Turn on the TGM-100. It will automatically recognize the
TGM-HD1 as soon as both units are fully operational.
Note: Only one eSATA Storage Devive may be used in a
system. Multiple iSCSI devices may be used.
Note: It is possible to use an eSATA Storage Device in
conjuction with one or more iSCSI devices.
