APPENDIX
• Look for the Dolby Digital
or DTS Logo on the source
program’s box or sleeve.
• Check the calibration proce-
dure from time to time. This is
an ex cel lent way of checking
that all speakers are working
correctly.
Noise bursts are heard
when DTS en cod ed CDs or
LDs are played
• Compressed DTS data uses
the normal digital audio tracks
of CDs and LDs. This analog
noise may be heard in your
system before the DTS digital
signal is locked on, or it may
appear as a back ground hiss.
• To reduce or prevent this
noise, you can disconnect any
analog con nec tions to your
CD or LD players. Just use the
Digital connections.
No On Screen Display
• Press the remote's MENU
button to activate the OSD. It
should be present even when
no video source has been
selected.
• The OSD output should be set
to the same video output used
by your monitor. This is set in
the OSD VIDEO menu, either
S-video or composite video.
• There is no OSD for compo-
nent video connections.
Sound drops out with CD
or DVD playback
• Make sure the disc is not dirty
or scratched.
• Some inexpensive players
and changers tend to mistrack
more often, causing dropouts
with an external DAC.

the original remote into the

• Do not do the learn procedure
in bright lighting or sunlight.
• Make sure the Sunfi re remote
is correctly in its LEARN mode.
• Try varying the distance be-
tween the remotes from 1 to
2 inches, and see if the learn
pro ce dure improves.
Remote will not work
• Make sure the batteries are not
dead.

correct display for the com po -
nent you are trying to control.

remote input is enabled in the
OSD controls menu.

RESET procedure
The TGIII is a microprocessor
controlled device of great complexity.
Occasional power fl uctuations and
spikes may cause the TGIII to "lock
up" or act strangely.
The TGIII can be reset as follows.
Warning: the TGIII will be reset
to the factory defaults, and
will clear all memory. All your
stored OSD settings and Tuner
presets will be erased.
• Write down your calibration
settings, input settings, Tuner
presets, and any other settings
you have made. See page 57.
• Press the power button to turn
the unit off, or turn it off from
the wall for a moment.
• Press and continue to hold
down the front panel Power
and Decrease buttons at the
same time.
• The TGIII will power on and
cycle through the display. Keep
holding the buttons down until
"Resetting to Factory Defaults"
appears in the front panel dis-
play
• When the TGIII has been re-
set, it will shut off (let go of the
buttons).
• Turn the TGIII back on and it
will go to the default screen. It
has now been reset.
• If the TGIII has to be reset
regularly, you should invest in
a good quality AC line condi-
tioner.
