[4] Volume Knob The Volume control adjusts the overall loudness of the signals being fed to the preamplifier outputs. Unlike conventional controls, the GTP860II’s volume control doesn’t have a start or end position. Volume can also be adjusted from the remote control using the Master Volume Up or Down buttons [31].

FM Antenna: A ribbon wire FM antenna is included and should be connected to the FM connector at the rear of the unit using the ‘balun’ adapter supplied. The ribbon aerial should be mounted on a vertical surface and placed so that it forms a ‘T’. Experiment with placement of the antenna to find the position that gives the best signal strength and lowest background noise. An inadequate FM signal normally results in high levels of hiss, especially in stereo, and interference from external electrical sources.
[16] Multi-Zone Source Outputs These output jacks provide a duplicate of the analog audio signal that are connected to Video 1-4, CD and Tape inputs. They are designed to allow the user to interface the sources connected to the GTP-860II with an external stereo receiver or tuner/ preamplifier to facilitate multi-zone operation.
Connecting a Multi-Zone Source The drawing above illustrates the proper hook-up to provide audio to multiple zones using a signal source with the GTP-860II. As illustrated above we use a GTP-506 and GFA6006 to distribute the audio source, an ADCOM GCD-750 CD player.

2.1 GRC-800 Overview The GRC-800 remote control is a learning remote control that is capable of saving commands for all remote controls in your home theater system. In this way, you may eliminate the confusion of using multiple remotes. Although such power comes with some added complexity, the complexity is minimal and with some repetition will become second nature.

The d. range button solves this dilemma by progressively lowering the volume of loud peaks while increasing the level of softer sounds. [31] Volume Up/Down while a menu item is highlighted. In CD mode, it is pre programmed for audible reverse scan with an ADCOM CD player.

Pressing the sleep button once will set the sleep time to 90 minutes, after which the GTP-860II will automatically switch off into Standby mode. Sleep mode is shown on the Display Panel. To adjust the Sleep Delay, press the sleep button, each consecutive press will reduce the sleep time in 30-minute increments, as shown in the Display Panel.
