2.5CONNECTING POWER TO THE TLP 1
Connect the power cord to the back of the TLP 1 and then to an AC outlet. If excessive hum or buzz is heard
through the speakers during operation, remove the cord from the back of the TLP 1 and re-insert it after
turning the connector upside down.
2.6AUDIO INPUTS
Audio connections are made through interconnect cables – typically white or black for the Left channel and
red for the Right channel. The audio output connectors on tape recorders, VCRs, and CD players are normally
color coded in this same manner – connect them to the appropriate inputs on the TLP 1:
2.7AUDIO OUTPUTS
Any of the outputs shown below can be used simultaneously:
Fixed Outputs:
These provide a fixed line-level output for connection to a tape recorder’s or VCR’s audio record inputs,
and/or to an integrated amplifier or receiver that is used for another room (Zone 2) so sources connected to
the TLP 1 can be directed to that remote location. The volume control does not affect this output level.
Subwoofer:
Intended to be used with a powered subwoofer or subwoofer amplifier, each of the four jacks provides a
mono signal of the left and right channels combined. Up to two subwoofers can be connected in either of the
following configurations: Low Pass, which contains only low bass, or Full Range, which is unfiltered.
• Use Full Range if the subwoofer has a built-in crossover.
• Use Low Pass if the subwoofer’s crossover is bypassed or if there is no crossover in the subwoofer
or subwoofer amplifier.
12
Main:
The High Pass output reduces low bass which makes it ideal when using smaller speakers that are unable
to reproduce deeper bass or bass at full output levels. The use of a powered subwoofer is strongly
recommended with this setup. The unfiltered Full Range output is the ‘normal’ full bandwidth audio output.
• Use Full Range if using full bandwidth speakers, either with or without a subwoofer.
• Use High Pass if using smaller speakers and a subwoofer.
2. CONNECTIONS AND LAYOUT continued …
Headphone:
When a headphone plug is inserted into the headphone jack on the front panel, all audio
outputs on the rear panel are muted.
2.8FM•AM ANTENNAS
To connect the FM antenna, first connect the two antenna wires to the
screw terminals of the 75-ohm to 300-ohm adapter. Then connect the
adapter to the FM ANTENNA connector on the TLP 1. If your local cable
company provides FM service, connect the cable directly to the TLP 1
instead of using the antenna.
To connect the AM loop antenna, press the spring-loaded tabs of the AM
ANTENNA connector, insert the bare ends of the wire from the loop antenna
and release the tabs.
Once the antennas are connected, move each of them around until best
reception is found. For the FM antenna, this will usually be in a “T” formation.
2.9RELAY TRIGGER
75-ohm to 300-ohm adapter
If your other components, such as the power amplifier, have a trigger input, you can
automatically turn them on and off simultaneously with the TLP 1. Connect the RELAY
TRIGGER trigger output from the TLP 1 to the trigger input of your power amplifier, TV
monitor, etc., using a cable with 3.5mm mono mini plugs.
2.10INFRA RED RECEIVER
An external IR repeater allows the Remote Control to be used from other locations in your
home, for example Zone 2. Once a repeater is wired to a selected room, connect it to the
I.R. RECEIVER input.
13
3. FRONT PANEL OPERATION
3.1POWER ON/OFF
When turned on, the TLP 1 will have all of the same settings it had when it was last turned
off, except for Volume, which comes on at -30 dB.
3.2MASTER CONTROL KNOB
Besides being a Volume Control, the MASTER CONTROL KNOB also operates other functions, including
adjustment of Bass / Treble / Balance, FM•AM tuning, Input Level, and Display Brightness selection.
Mute:
When MUTE is pressed, the audio output is silenced. Press MUTE again, or rotate the Master
Control Knob to adjust the volume, and sound will return.
3.3SOURCE SELECTION
The TLP 1 accommodates up to five external sources plus the built-in FM •AM stereo tuner. The main path
selection is completely independent from the record path selection.
Main Path:
To make a source selection, simply press the corresponding button.
Record Path:
To make a selection for the Record outputs, press Record, then
press a source button within 3 seconds – the red indicator will
remain lit for the duration of the selection period.
Adjust Input Levels:
You can match main path input levels to each other to prevent large changes in volume as you change from
one source to another. Press and hold the source button of the input you want to adjust, and when ‘Lvl +0.0’
appears on the display, adjust using the Master Control Knob before the main display returns.
Before making input level adjustments, have all connected source components playing similar music
material. Also, make sure that all four tuner banks are tuned to a station (see below). Then, as you switch
through each source, you will hear that component play. This allows for easy comparative level adjustments.
Note: The selected tuner bank immediately changes when pressing FM•AM. To adjust AM input level,
select FM-3 first, then press and hold FM•AM and the band will automatically change to AM.
3.3.1 FM• AM TUNER
The TLP 1 has a built-in FM • AM tuner. The station that is selected for the main outputs is automatically
shared when FM•AM is selected for Record.
Manual Tuning:
Select the desired bank by pressing FM•AM, then press TUNE and rotate the Master Control
Knob to find a station.
Automatic Tuning:
To automatically find the next station, press SEEK or SEEK. To scan and listen to all
available radio stations for a few seconds at a time, press and hold SEEK or SEEK for
about a second. The ‘ Seek’ or ‘ Seek’ indicator on the display will change to ‘’ or
‘’ to indicate that the tuner is scanning. To stop scanning, press the same SEEK button
that was used to initiate scanning.
14
3. FRONT PANEL OPERATION continued …
Presets:
18 FM and 6 AM stations can be stored in the TLP 1. The
presets are divided into four banks of six. By repeatedly
pressing FM •AM, the display will show that you are cycling
through ‘FM1’, ‘FM2’, ‘FM3’, ‘AM’. Once you have selected the
desired bank, you can store the currently tuned radio station by pressing and holding one of the six preset
keys (1 through 6) for about a second. You can even do this while scanning for stations. The lower line of the
display briefly flashes once the station is stored. To recall a preset, select the bank that it is in, then press
the respective preset key.
ST / HB / Mn:
If FM reception is weak, switching a station out of stereo can reduce or eliminate unwanted
hiss and noise. Press ST / HB / Mn repeatedly to cycle through Stereo, Hi-Blend, or Mono.
Hi-Blend offers an alternative to Mono, offering decreased noise without the complete loss
of stereo – it decreases noise by reducing some stereo separation at higher frequencies.
When storing a station to a preset, your selected preference of Stereo, Hi-Blend, or Mono will also be stored.
3.4BASS / TREBLE / BALANCE
To change Bass, Treble, or Balance, press BASS, TREBLE, or BALANCE • DISPLAY,
then adjust using the Master Control Knob.
Bass and Treble settings are stored in memory by source – for example, you may
want to set treble for AM to +6, FM to -1 and Tape to +1. The TLP 1 memorizes bass
and treble settings for each source independantly. This allows you to switch
between sources without having to constantly make Bass or Treble adjustments.
Tone Bypass:
Pressing BYPASS disables Bass/Treble adjustments, as well as defeating the Contour feature if it has been
engaged. To enable Bass/Treble again, press either BASS or TREBLE.
3.5CONTOUR
When listening at low levels, our hearing sensitivity to bass and treble frequencies
decreases. When engaged, the Contour function of the TLP 1 compensates by adding bass
and treble according to volume setting and a psychoacoustically modeled compensation
curve. It begins to take effect when the volume setting is around -20 dB. Bass and treble
added relative to the overall signal gradually increases as the volume is lowered.
3.6DISPLAY BRIGHTNESS
The intensity of the Front Panel display and indicators can be changed. Press BALANCE•DISPLAY twice and
then use the Master Control Knob to select High, Medium, or Low.
15
4. REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION
The TLP 1 Universal Remote Control has all of the
same functions as the front panel buttons and is
operated in a similar way, but there are some
differences. Please take the time to read this
section to fully understand all the functions of the
TLP 1 Remote Control.
The keys labeled in this illustration show those that
have a different method of operation from their
front panel counterparts. Those shown in bolditalics indicate keys that are unique to the Remote
Control and not found on the Front Panel. For a
detailed layout diagram see section 2.4.
Before we get started, we have to give the remote
a little attitude adjustment – set the ‘personality’ to
TLP by pressing TLP Control Mode key near the top
of the remote.
The Control Mode keys do not transmit
Note:
any commands. They only determine where
subsequent commands are sent. For example,
if TV is selected followed by CH+, the channel
changes on your TV while the TLP 1 and all
other components remain unaffected (see
section 4.3.1 and Appendix A to set up reset
memory codes).

preset memory code:
1. Press the Component key (e.g. DVD).
2. Press and hold SETUP until the LED flashes twice.
3. Enter the four-digit code from Appendix A. The LED should blink twice.
VCR and Laser Disc player codes can be programmed into the DVD key, and Cable Converter codes can
be programmed into the SAT key. A VCR code, for example, can not be programmed into the TV key.
4.3.2 SEARCHING FOR A CODE
If a code for your component is not listed in Appendix A, it may be buried under a different name, for example
if one DVD player manufacturer uses a mechanism from another manufacturer:
1. Turn the component on (e.g. DVD player).
2. Press the matching Component key (e.g. DVD).
3. Press and hold SETUP until the LED flashes twice.
4. Press 9, 9, 1.
5. Aim the remote towards the DVD player and alternate between pressingand DVD.
6. Stop once the DVD player turns off. Immediately press and release SETUP to lock the code.
Note: There may be more than one manufacturer code that causes power to turn on/off on your
component – you may have to try this a few times before finding a code that controls all functions.
7. If, for future reference, you want to know what the code is, press and hold SETUP until the LED
flashes twice and then press 9, 9, 0, 1. Wait 3 seconds and count the number of flashes. The number
of flashes represent the first digit (i.e. 3 flashes = 3, no flash = 0). Next, press 2 for the second digit,
3 for the third digit, and 4 for the fourth digit, and count the number of flashes each time. Record this
code number in Appendix A for future reference.
4.3.3 VOLUME LOCK
After entering a code for your TV or satellite receiver, you may find it inconvenient to switch the Component
keys back and forth when you alternate between say, changing channels on your TV and adjusting volume
on the TLP 1. Not to worry, the Volume Lock feature takes care of this. When engaged, the volume keys adjust
TLP volume, regardless of which Component is selected. You can then leave your Component selection in TV
– you no longer have to press TLP first to adjust the volume of the TLP 1.

4. REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION continued …
In the following example, TLP volume is locked onto every Component selection except TV:
To Engage Volume Lock for TLP:
1. Press and hold SETUP until the LED flashes twice.
2. Press 9, 9, 3.
3. Press TLP.
At this point, the Volume and Mute keys now control the TLP 1, no matter which of the four Component
selections the Remote Control is in. However, since this may not be desirable, any individual Component
selection can be unlocked.
To Disengage Volume Lock for TV, and re-engage the TV Volume Control:
4. Press TV.
5. Press and hold SETUP until the LED flashes twice.
6. Press 9, 9, 3.
7. Press VOL .
The Volume and Mute keys now control the TLP 1 for every Component selection except for TV. You may
continue to unlock other Components one at a time. To unlock all Components at once and restore the default
setting, press VOL+ instead of VOLin step 7.
4.4TEACHING THE TLP 1 REMOTE CONTROL TO UNIVERSAL LEARNING REMOTES
Some keys on the TLP 1 Remote, such as VOL+, VOL , and SELECT have press and hold commands as well
as regular press and release commands. The ‘press and hold’ command of a key is exactly the same as the
‘press and release’ command of that key, repeated as long as the key is held. It may be necessary to program
your aftermarket remote to loop or repeat a ‘press and release’ command to turn it into a ‘press and hold’
command. The methods of doing this vary with the model – contact the remote control manufacturer for
more information.

The warranty period on Anthem products is five (5) years for power amplifiers and integrated amplifiers, three (3) years
for audio preamplifiers and audio processing, two (2) years for video equipment and video processing, one (1) year for
remote controls, and six (6) months for projector lamps from date of purchase from Anthem or an Authorized Anthem
Dealer. If Anthem determines that the product has a defect in materials or manufacturing during the period Anthem will
at its option repair, replace or provide the necessary replacement parts without charging for parts or labor. Repaired or
replaced equipment or parts supplied under this warranty are covered by the unexpired portion of the warranty.
This warranty is transferable only if the re-sold product is purchased from an Authorized Anthem Dealer. Display
products sold by an Authorized Anthem Dealer are covered by the same warranty except that the period commences on
the date of the dealer invoice, not the purchaser’s invoice, and cosmetic flaws are excluded.
Warranty is void if the serial number has been removed, altered or defaced, if the product has been operated, installed
or handled other than in accordance with the intended application, tampered with, modified, or damaged by accident,
while in transport or by failure of electric power, or has been repaired by a non-authorized party. Anthem shall have no
obligation to correct any defect that is not reproducible by Anthem. If inspection by Anthem discloses that the repair
required is not covered by this warranty, regular repair charges shall apply.
If a problem is discovered in your Anthem product, please contact the Authorized Anthem Dealer from whom you
purchased the product. Your dealer will help to determine the cause of the problem and arrange for the appropriate
action. Alternatively, follow the procedure below for factory service.
A Return Authorization (RA) number must be obtained from Anthem Technical Support before a product can be shipped
to Anthem for any reason. Product shipped to Anthem without its RA Number clearly visible on the outside of the shipping
carton will be refused and returned to the sender, freight collect. Product shipped to Anthem must have shipping and
insurance prepaid by the sender, be packaged in the original carton and packing material and accompanied by a written
description of the defect. Service will not be given under warranty without an accompanying copy of the sales invoice.

continental USA only).
Disclaimer of Liability
Under no circumstances shall Anthem, its agents, representatives or employees assume liability or responsibility for
injury or damages sustained in the use or operation of Anthem products or for damages to connected products. Some
jurisdictions do not allow limitations of incidental or consequential damages so this exclusion may not apply to you.

subject to change without notice.
This warranty shall be the sole and exclusive remedy to you. No other warranty or condition, statutory or otherwise,
expressed or implied, shall be imposed upon Anthem nor shall any representation made by any person, including a
representative or agent of Anthem, be effective to extend the warranty coverage provided herein.
On the expiration of the warranty all liability of Anthem in connection with the product shall terminate.
