[ 16 ] Multi-Zone Source
Outputs
These output jacks provide a dupli-
cate 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 sourc-
es connected to the GTP-860II with
an external stereo receiver or tuner/
preamplifier to facilitate multi-zone
operation. When using the GTP-860II
in conjunction with the GTP-506/
GFA-6006 (a three room stereo tuner-
preamplifier and amplifier combina-
tion) the user can deliver sound to
three additional rooms using the same
source components hooked up to the
GTP-860II. See drawing on next page
(page 13) for details.
[ 17 ] Tape Inputs/Outputs
Connections for analog recording and
playback to an audio tape recorder
of any type, such as a cassette, reel-
reel, DAT, MD or CD-R. Using twin
RCA-to-RCA leads, connect to the
left and right 'Audio Output' of the
tape machine to the TAPE IN connec-
tors for playback. Connect the left
and right 'Audio Input' of the tape
machine to the TAPE OUT connectors
for recording.
[ 18 ] CD Analog Inputs
Input for CD player (analog audio sig-
nal) or other line-level signal source.
Use a twin RCA-to-RCA lead to con-
nect the CD player's left and right
'Audio Outputs' to this input.
[ 19 ] External 5.1 Analog In
Inputs for the multi-channel audio
signals from an external decoder,
such as an SACD or DVD-Audio player
with integrated decoder. Use two
twin RCA-to-RCA leads to connect the
decoder's front left and right 'Audio
Outputs' to the Front left and right
inputs, and the decoder's Surround
left and right outputs to the Surround
left and right inputs. Use a third
twin RCA-to-RCA lead to connect the

decoder's subwoofer output to the
Subwoofer input and the decoder's
Center channel output to the Center
channel input. Make sure to follow
color coding of the plugs to ensure
that both Center and Subwoofer are
connected correctly; for instance, use
the red plugs at either end to connect
the center channel and the white
plugs for the subwoofer channel.
[ 20 ] Digital Audio Inputs
Use these inputs to connect the
coaxial and optical digital audio signal
output from such digital devices as
CD, DVD or LD players. These inputs
are fully assignable using the OSD.
[ 21 ] AC Power Cord
After you have completed all connec-
tions to the amplifier, plug the AC line
cord into a "live" wall socket.
[ 22 ] 12V DC Trigger
To facilitate remote turn-on and
turn-off of other components (power
amplifiers, for example), this 3.5mm
mini-jack provides a constant signal
(12 volts DC) whenever the GTP-860II
is fully powered. When the GTP-860II
is turned off (via the front panel
switch) or placed in standby mode (via
the "power" button on the remote
control), the jack has no output.
[23] Voltage Switch
The GTP-860II can be configured for
either 120V or 230V operation using
this switch. Extreme caution must
be used when changing the voltage
of the unit, as an incorrect voltage
selection will cause severe damage to
the unit. See your dealer or contact
ADCOM for more details regarding the
operation of this switch.
NOTE: We strongly recommend the
use of our surge suppressor/ line con-
ditioners, the ADCOM ACE family of
products, for systems with substantial
amplifiers and many source compo-
nents. The ACE products relieve the
GTP-860II from handling large current
surges, while they protect your entire
system by filtering and conditioning
the AC current. In addition to the
numerous heavy duty AC outlets of
the ACE-315, the ACE-615 includes
sequential power-up and power-down
modes to minimize "thumps" when-
ever you turn your system on or off.
[ 24 ] IR Input
The IR input allows hook up of an
external IR sensor that sends IR infor-
mation to the microprocessor in the
GTP-860II. This feature can be very
useful if the GTP-860II is placed
behind a non transparent door or is
used with an after market remote con-
trol system.
[ 25 ] RS232 Control (dB 9)
Allows control of the GTP-860II via
computer or home automation system.
