[. . . ] Second, THESE KEYS REMAP ALL OF THE OTHER BUTTONS ON THE REMOTE CONTROL. You can think of each of these buttons as having a page of commands associated with it. Some buttons, such as volume up and down, are preprogrammed to operate the GTP-860 for each source. These buttons can be "written over" if you like, but default to GTP-860 operations for your convenience. Most of the GTP-860 remote commands are saved under the main remote page. Whenever you desire to control the GTP-860 via remote, you must first ensure the main page is active. If your GTP860 is on, the brightness of the front panel display changes. This serves as a reminder that the main remote page is currently active. If you have an ADCOM CD player, this command will cause an idle CD to play. If your GTP-860 is on you will also notice the display does not respond to this command. The dim button will now again change the GTP-860 display. Remote Features [29] Source Selectors (vid 1, vid 2, vid 3, vid 4, vid 5, tuner, CD): These buttons serve two functions. · First, they switch inputs on the GTP-860 so you can hear the source you've just selected. · Second (and even more important), they can change the functions of all the other buttons on the remote controller. In other words, if you first push the CD device selector, the remote's play button generates a command code for your DVD player. If you then press the vid 5 device selector, the same play button would send a different command code that might, for example, start your mini-disc player. (Of course, this all depends on how you programmed the remote in the first place. This will be covered shortly. ) [30] Power Button In all modes, this is preprogrammed to turn the GTP-860 on and off. [31] Input Selector (tape, ext 5. 1) In main mode, these are similar to the source selectors described above but they switch only GTP-860 inputs. They DO NOT automatically change the functions of other remote buttons. ADCOM GTP-860 OWNER'S MANUAL | 17 [32] 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 [8] will release the muting, i. e. the original volume level will be resumed. [36] Play Button In CD mode, it is preprogrammed for play with an ADCOM CD player. [37] Pause Button In CD mode, it is preprogrammed to pause an ADCOM CD player. [33] 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. [. . . ] If any or all cables cause the hum to appear, then the preamp or processor should be evaluated for proper operation by your Dealer or Authorized Service Center. Troubleshooting Tip Your GTP-860's circuitry is built around advanced microprocessors. The GTP-860 may exhibit occasional anomalies arising from AC line surges, etc. If you experience unexpected behavior, or if the GTP-860 "locks up" and does not respond to control input, reset it by turning the front power switch off. (Do not use the remote control's "power" button. ) Wait 10 seconds and then turn the GTP-860 on. [. . . ]
