System Connections
Like the front panel, the GTP-602’s
rear panel is carefully arranged to
make hookup, configuration, and use
as simple as possible. However, the
GTP-602’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. You will save yourself
much time and effort if you carefully
think out what you expect from your
system: consider the components you
will use, where they’ll be placed,
and how you will want them to work
together. The diagrams and notes in
this section will probably answer most
of your questions about interfacing
the GTP-602 with other components in
your system.
Note that the GTP-602’s RCA-style
jacks have color-coded centers to
make connections easier. Use this key
to help route cables properly:
RED centers = RIGHT CHANNEL
ANALOG AUDIO inputs or outputs
WHITE centers = LEFT CHANNEL
ANALOG AUDIO inputs or outputs
[7] Antenna Connections
AM Antenna: An AM loop antenna is
supplied with the GTP-602 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 verti-
cally 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 satis-
factory using the supplied AM loop
antenna alone, connection of an
external antenna is recommended.
The antenna cable to the loop anten-
na must not exceed three meters.
FM Antenna: A ribbon wire FM anten-
na is included and should be connect-
ed to the FM connector at the rear of
the unit using the adapter supplied.
The ribbon aerial should be mounted
on a vertical surface and placed so
that it forms a ‘T’.
Experiment with placement of the
antenna to find the position that
gives the best signal strength and
lowest background noise. An inad-
equate FM signal normally results in
high levels of hiss, especially in ste-
reo, and interference from external
electrical sources. In areas of poor
FM reception, the tuner section’s per-
formance can be improved by using
an externally mounted FM antenna. A
qualified aerial installer will be able
to advise and fit a recommended aer-
ial for your reception conditions.
[8] CD Analog Inputs
Input for CD player (analog audio sig-
nal) or other line-level signal source.
