[. . . ] GTP-830 Digital Processing Tuner/Preamplifier Owner's Manual serial number: date purchased: A NOTE FROM ADCOM Thank you and congratulations on your purchase of the ADCOM GTP-830 Digital Processing Tuner/ Preamplifier. The GTP-830 provides Dolby Digital and DTS decoding with 7. 1 output channels, as well as a 5. 1 analog bypass and the RDS radio data system. These features and ADCOM's legendary quality provide the heart of your cutting-edge home theater. In the unlikely event that damage has occurred, notify your dealer immediately and request the name of the freight carrier so a written claim to cover shipping damages can be filed. [. . . ] (Of course, this all depends on how you programmed the remote in the first place. This will be covered shortly. ) [25] Power button: In all modes, this is preprogrammed to turn the GTP-830 on and off. [26] Input selectors (tape, ext 5. 1): In main mode, these are similar to the source selectors described above but they switch only GTP-830 inputs. They DO NOT automatically change the functions of other remote buttons. ADCOM OWNER'S MANUAL | 21 GTP-830 DIGITAL PROCESSING TUNER/PREAMPLIFIER [27] Mute button: In all modes, this button is preprogrammed to mute outputs of device. Mute does not affect recordings made using the Tape outputs but will affect the signal going to the Preamp Outputs. When the unit is in mute mode, any adjustment of the Volume Control on the front panel [08] will release the muting, i. e. Pressing repeatedly will cycle through Pro Logic, Hall, and Stereo, when available. Refer to the Surround Mode description [12] for more information. [31] Play button: In CD mode, it is preprogrammed for play with an ADCOM CD player. [28] d. range (dynamic range) button: In main mode, this button is preprogrammed to adjust dynamic range of Dolby Digital encoded sources. range button, which can be used only in combination with a Dolby Digital source, incrementally reduces the audio track's dynamic range in four steps (100%, 75%, 50% and 25%) to allow for comfortable listening under a variety of conditions. range button will reduce the value in 25% increments, as shown in the alpha-numeric display section. Although we usually prefer to reproduce a source's full dynamic range (the difference between very loud and very soft sounds), it may occasionally be desirable to reduce the dynamic range. For example, when playing a movie late at night, loud explosions might wake sleeping family members. Simply turning the volume control down would probably make a whisper in the next scene inaudible. range button solves this dilemma by progressively lowering the volume of loud peaks while increasing the level of softer sounds. [32] Pause button: In CD mode, it is preprogrammed to pause an ADCOM CD player. [33] Stop button: In CD mode, it is preprogrammed to stop an ADCOM CD player. [34] Arrow buttons: The arrow buttons allow navigation throughout the GTP-830 OSD (On Screen Display) menus (as well as the menus of other devices, once the commands are learned). Left arrow: In main mode, this is preprogrammed to step through the various choices you might wish to select while a menu item is highlighted. In CD mode, it is preprogrammed for audible reverse scan with an ADCOM CD player. Up arrow/Setup: In main mode, this is preprogrammed to enter the OSD menu system, as well as scroll up to the next choice on a menu screen.

[29] Volume Up/Down buttons: In all modes, these buttons change the master volume setting of the GTP-830. The Volume control does not affect recordings made using the Tape and Video, or Tape, Video 3 and Video 4 outputs but will affect the signal going to the Preamp output. [35] Select button: In main mode, this is preprogrammed to enter a selection chosen via the menu system. [30] Mode button: In main mode, this is preprogrammed to cycle through the surround modes of the GTP-830.

The test signal cycles automatically with 3-second intervals from Front Left, Center, Front Right, Rear Right, Back Right, Back Left, Rear Left, to Subwoofer in continuous cycles. If an adjustment in setting is made for one of the channels, cycling will pause for 3 seconds after the adjustment was made. Both display panel and OSD show which speaker is being fed with the test signal. [. . . ] Switch off or move the source of the electrical noise · Check station tuning.
