The Remote Control - Adcom GTP-830 Owner's Manual

1.3 The Remote Control

The GTP-830 remote control is a learning remote
control that is capable of saving commands for all
remote controls in your home theater system. In
this way, you may eliminate the confusion of using
multiple remotes. Although such power comes
with some added complexity, the complexity is
minimal and with some repetition will become
second nature.
Eight Source Select Buttons
The single most important aspect to master about
the GTP-830 remote control is the function of the
eight source select buttons at the top of the remote.
These are the buttons labeled
figure on the opposite page. Each of these buttons
cause two things to happen when used. First, they
select the corresponding input on the GTP-830.
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-830 for each source. These buttons
can be "written over" if you like, but default to GTP-
830 operations for your convenience.
Most of the GTP-830 remote commands are saved
under the main remote page. Whenever you desire
to control the GTP-830 via remote, you must first
ensure the main page is active. As an example,
[ ]
press 51 main on the remote control. Now, press
the dim button. If your GTP-830 is on, the bright-
ness of the front panel display changes. Notice also
that the main button on your remote illuminates.
This serves as a reminder that the main remote
page is currently active. Now press the CD button
and then the play button. Notice now that the CD
source button lights. The CD remote page is now
active. If you have an ADCOM CD player, this com-
mand will cause an idle CD to play. Now, press the
dim button again. You should note that CD button
does not light. The dim command is not prepro-
grammed in the CD remote page. If your GTP-830 is
on you will also notice the display does not respond
to this command. Press the

[ ] and [ ]
51 24 in the
[ ]
51 main button again
to reenter the main remote page. The dim button
will now again change the GTP-830 display.
The button description that follows distinguishes
the function of each button dependent on the page
the remote is in. The remote is shipped from the
factory with ADCOM commands saved under the
main, tuner, and CD pages, and with important
GTP-830 functions such as volume saved under
each page.
The ADCOM universal remote controller is preset
to operate all GTP-830 functions (MAIN and TUNER
device mode) and most GCD-700/750 CD functions
(CD device mode).
Alkaline batteries are recommended for maximum
operating life. Four AAA (R 03) batteries should be
fitted in the battery compartment at the rear of the
remote control. When replacing batteries, check that
they have been put in correctly, as indicated on the
base of the battery compartment.
Remote Features
[ ]
24 Source selectors (vid 1, vid 2, vid 3, vid 4,
vid 5, tuner, CD, tape, ext 5.1):
These buttons serve two functions.
• First, they switch inputs on the GTP-830 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 pro-
grammed 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 selec-
tors described above but they switch only GTP-830
inputs. They DO NOT automatically change the
functions of other remote buttons.
