Adcom GTP-600 - Manual (Page 8)

14) AC CONVENIENCE OUTLETS (Certain models only);
A) Switched outlets: Plug up to two sources (CD player, etc.) into the switched AC outlets ©. These components
will receive AC whenever the GTP-600 is "ON” (provided, of course, that the GTP-600 itself is plugged into a
live AC outlet.)
B) Unswitched outlet: This outlet © supplies AC whenever the GTP-600 is plugged into a live AC outlet
regardless of whether the GTP-600 is “ON" or not. The unswitched outlet is usually reserved for mechanical
devices (such as a tape deck) that might Pe damaged if power was inadvertently cut off before the mechanism
disengages.
15) AC LINE FUSE; This socket © holds the AC line fuse. In the unlikely event that the AC fuse opens, replace it
ONLY with a fuse of the exact type and rating. A subsequent fuse failure means that your GTP-600 needs service.
16) AC LINE CORD: Plug the AC cord © into an unswitched AC wall outlet so that power to the GTP-600 can’t be
accidentally interrupted by turning off an AC switch.
BASIC OPERATION
NOTE: This section assumes that you’ve set up the rest of your system (sources, power amplifiers and speakers, etc.) in
accordance with the instructions supplied with these units.
17) VOLUME DOWN — POWER ON!: Turn the GTP-600’s volume control © all the way down (fully counterclockwise.)
Turn the unit on by pressing the power switch O- Then turn the other system components on: sources first, then
power amplifiers.
18) SOURCE SELECTION and RECORDING: Choose a source by pressing the GTP-600's appropriate Audio or
Video source selectors (© & respectively). Then operate the source component according to the supplied
instructions.
NOTE: Signals from the chosen source are available at all recording outputs. This means, for example, that you
can record a CD on a Hi Fi VCR without changing any of the rear panel connections. Conversely, you can record
the audio portion of a video tape on an audio cassette recorder. ■
19) THE TUNER: The Tuner button selects the internal AM/FM/FM Stereo tuner. Choose FM or AM by using the FM/
AM selector button ©., Tune in the desired station.
20) TONE CONTROLS: The Bass and Treble controls (®& ©respectively) emphasize or decrease low and high
frequencies to suit your taste. These controls are active only when the Tone in switch O is depressed.
A separate Bass EQ switch ©adds a predetermined amount of bass energy to all signals. You may find this
particularly convenient to enhance video soundtracks. This circuit operates independently of the Tone in switch.
21) BALANCE CONTROL: The Balance control ©allows you to compensate for source eccentricities or unusual
listening room acoustics by adjusting relative output from the main system speakers. If you want more output
from the right speaker, for example, turn the control to the right.
22) VOLUME CONTROL: The Volume control © is the master gain control for the entire system. Turn it clockwise
to increase volume and counterclockwise to decrease volume.
NOTE: The LED on the front panel Volume control glows steadily when in normal operation. When the Audio
mute switch ©is engaged, the LED blinks.
23) AUDIO MUTE CONTROL ©; Push this to fully mute the output. The Volume control LED blinks when mute is
engaged.
24) MONO SWITCH ©; Push this for a mono signal. You’ll also find this useful to reduce background noise on very
weak FM broadcasts.
25) THE REMOTE CONTROL: The RC-65 hand held remote controller duplicates all front panel controls. It also
contains additional controls that are used only from remote locations. Basic operating instructions are on the rear
of the RC-65.
The RC-65 is a “learning” remote and can be programmed to operate many other components.
