Sunfire 401 Series - Manual (Page 6)

A PRE-AMP THAT TRULY AMAZED YOU?
Can you remember the last ti me you were truly amazed by a pre-amp / processor? What if we told you about one whose lineage of
audiophile-quality processors goes back more than a decade. The only one that accepts the world’s most advanced
multi -room, multi -zone touch pad —the ELAN ® Olé ® ; and features the luxury of HDMI switching, Sonic Holography, Dolby ®
ProLogic IIx, Dolby ® Digital, Dolby ® Digital EX, DTS ® and more. Plus, since everyone buys with their eyes, this pre-amp’s
all-new form factor is as preempti ve as its long list of features. Introducing the truly amazing Sunfi re TGP-401 Processor.
AN ASTOUNDING 200 WATTS PER CHANNEL?
Let’s face it, Power is number 1 on every Home Theater shopper’s Top 5 list of prioriti es. Because everyone knows that the more power your
system has, the more detail and performance you’ll be able to pull out of your movies and music. No other comparable receiver quenches your thirst
for power bett er than the all-new 7.1 channel, TGR-401. With
the most power of any receiver in its class and a gorgeous new design to house it all,
the TGR-401 is truly the Sunfi re of 7.1 channel receivers. Plus, with Sunfi re’s exclusive Tracking Downconverter™ technology, that power will be the
coolest-running and most reliable, too.
And because great sound should be experienced from every room in the house, the TGR-401 accepts the elegant multi -room, multi -zone Olé® Touch
Pad by ELAN® —the leading brand of innovati ve multi -room audio/video systems for two decades. It’s also the only receiver with a VIA!migo™ iPod
dock, so you’ll also have easy access to the benefi ts of the world’s best-selling MP3 player. In short: The TGR-401 is the best thing to ever happen to
mid-sized systems, and relegates its so called competi ti on to non-competi ti ve status.
Hidden in a compartment
behind a sliding door, these
connections are to be used
for easy hookup of High
Defi nition game systems,
portable music players and
camcorders.
“Everyone thinks of Bob Carver primarily as an
amplifier designer, but he’s actually a physicist both
by nature and formal education. Consequently, he
approaches product design from a blank sheet of
paper rather than by trying to tease out performance
improvements in conventional designs.

WHY DID WE GIVE IT
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU SAW
HDMI 1.3a informati on is routed using
a Sunfi re developed 1080p switch.
Switching is the most reliable link
between processors and sources that
maintains High Defi niti on performance
standards while avoiding compati bility
problems sti ll challenging this high-end
technology.
Sonic Holography improves the
performance of any loudspeaker by
creati ng a wider and more three-
dimensional soundstage. Sunfi re’s
exclusive digital signal processing
algorithm adds a complex crosstalk
signal to the left and right speakers.
The patented Tracking Downconverter power
supply design dynamically adjusts the output
of Sunfi re amplifi ers to suit the requirements
of the incoming audio signal. On-demand
power is available for even the most demanding
speakers, while its high efficiency keeps the
amplifi er cool to the touch.
