CHAPTER 1

Dear Friend,

When you use the “Full Automatic Operation” feature, the correct set tings are made by its sophisticated mi cro pro -

ces sors. So, when you turn on your video component, the TGIV will choose the proper in put for you. All you have to do is
adjust the volume the way you want, then sit back and enjoy. The same holds true if you wish to listen to a CD, watch a
DVD and more. The automatic video format transcoder up-converts composite video and S-video to component video, al-
