The Power Button LED will light up amber when the preamplifier is switched On, but in Stand-By mode. NOTE: In Stand-By mode the GTP-860 uses very little power. However, it is recommended that you switch the unit com- pletely off if it is not going to be used for more than a couple of days. - Page 8 Display Panel, and then press Memory [4] again.

- Page 9 [ 11 ] Input Selector Buttons These buttons select the active video and audio input for the GTP-860. The source that is currently selected will be shown in the front panel display and the LED in the source button will be red. The currently selected source signal is sent to the main preamp outputs after processing and the video 3, video 4, aux and tape outputs.

Page 12: Inputs & Outputs System Connections
1.2 Inputs & Outputs System Connectiotns Like the front panel, the GTP-860’s rear panel is carefully arranged to make hookup, configuration, and use as sim- ple as possible. However, the GTP-860’s capabilities take some study to use most effectively. We strongly suggest that you read this section of the manual before beginning to hook up your system. - Page 13 Video Composite standard. If your video components have an S-Video connector use dedi- cated S-Video leads to connect them to the GTP-860 in the same way as described with the Video Composite equivalents. A video signal fed to an S-Video input socket will be avail- able on both the S-Video Monitor Out and Video Composite Monitor Out.

[ 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 con- troller. - Page 18 [ 34 ] Volume Up/Down Buttons In all modes, these buttons change the master volume setting of the GTP-860. In all modes except main, they can be reprogrammed with new commands. 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.
- Page 19 In main mode, button is preprogrammed to dim GTP-860’s information display. [ 56 ] Main Button In all modes, button provides access to the GTP-860. For instance, to turn on the test tone generator first push [56] the main button, then push [42] the test button.

Keep the GTP-860 (and other audio/video components) away from moisture and out of direct sunlight. Bear in mind that the GTP-860’s rear panel is the central connecting point for almost every component in your audio/video system. Leave sufficient room behind the rear panel to accommodate cables, antenna leads, power cords, etc. -

3.2 Channel Balance The output levels of each of the speakers connected to the GTP-860 may need to be adjusted so that there is an even balance of sound from all the speakers in the system. If, for instance, the relative volume level to the Left and Right speakers and the Center speaker is set too low, most of dialogue may be difficult to follow. - Page 27 DO NOT SAVE AND EXIT REAR L : SAVE AND EXIT DO NOT SAVE AND EXIT The GTP-860 allows the volume of each speaker to be SAVE AND EXIT individually trimmed so that none of the speakers domi- SPEAKER SETTINGS nates in playback and detracts from the surround illusion.
- Page 28 For this example the center channel delay is set to 2 milliseconds or ms. The GTP-860 can delay the center channel output up to 5 milliseconds and thus compensates for center channel speakers that are up to 5 feet (1.5 m) closer to the listen- ing position than the front left and right speakers.
