User manual ADCOM GTP-500II

[. . . ] From our legendary high current amplifiers to our state-of-theart digital processors, Adcom components consistently impress even the most demanding audiences. Adcom components have won over 25 Product of the Year and Special Recognition citations from Audio Video International, 3 Diapason D'Or Awards, 7 Consumer Electronics Show Design and Engineering Awards, and have appeared on Stereophile's "Recommended Components" lists over 70 times since 1988. A reputation worth its weight in gold. ENGINEERING PASSION Every Adcom component is not only designed to reproduce the highest quality sound and picture, but to also deliver the greatest possible value. It is our engineers' passion for perfection that has enabled our components to be judged the equivalent of others costing two, three, or even five times as much. [. . . ] Press the AM/FM button on the remote control or the front panel to change between AM and FM bands. Use the tune buttons on the front panel or the remote to change the tuner frequency. The new frequency will be displayed to the right of the FM or AM indicator. Press and hold either the tune buttons on the front panel or on the remote to scan continuously up or down the selected band. Press the FM mode button on the front panel to toggle between stereo and mono. If an FM station produces lots of noise or sound that cuts in and out while in stereo, use the FM mode button to switch from stereo to mono. To change a preset radio station: 1. Tune to the new radio station you desire. Press and hold the mem button on the remote or the memory button on the front panel. The display will change to show the word "memory" along with a flashing number. Enter the new preset/memory location (01 through 12) using the keypad on the remote or the up and down buttons. This replaces the previously memorized preset with your new selection. 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. In areas of poor FM reception, the tuner section's performance can be improved by using an externally mounted FM antenna. A qualified aerial installer will be able to advise and fit a recommended aerial for your reception conditions. AM Antenna: An AM loop antenna is supplied with the GTP-500II and is required for AM reception. Open the clip terminal lever and insert the wire from the antenna. Closing the lever will lock the wire in place. Test various positions for the antenna, but always ensure the loop is placed vertically for best reception. Placing the antenna close to large metal items such as metal shelves or radiators may interfere with reception. NOTE: When reception is not satisfactory using the supplied AM loop antenna alone, connection of an external antenna is recommended. The antenna cable to the loop antenna must not exceed three meters. [8] CD Analog Inputs Input for CD player (analog audio signal) or other line-level signal source. Use a twin RCA-to-RCA lead to connect the CD player's left and right `Audio Outputs' to this input. [9] Auxiliary Analog Inputs Input for any line-level signal source. Use a twin RCA-to-RCA lead to connect the CD player's left and right `Audio Outputs' to this input. [10] Tape Inputs/Outputs Connections for analog recording and playback to an audio tape recorder of any type, such as a cassette, reelreel, DAT, MD or CD-R.
