2.2 Overview of the GRC-810
The GRC-810 remote control is a learning remote con-
trol 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.
The single most important aspect to master about the GRC-
810 remote control is the function of the source selection
buttons at the top of the remote. Each of these buttons
cause two things to happen when used. First, they select
the corresponding input on the GTP-880. 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 pre programmed to operate the
GTP-880 for each source. These buttons can be “written
over” if you like, but default to GTP-880 operations for
your convenience.
Most of the GTP-880 remote commands are saved under
the main remote page. Whenever you desire to control
the GTP-880 via remote, you must first ensure the main
page is active. As an example, press main on the remote
control. Now, press the dim button. If your GTP-880 is on,
the brightness 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
GCD-750 player, this command 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
pre programmed in the CD remote page. If your GTP-880
is on you will also notice the display does not respond to
this command. Press the main button again to reenter the
main remote page. The dim button will now again change
the GTP-880 display.
The button description that follows distinguishes the func-
tion 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, DVD, and CD
pages, and with important GTP-880 functions such as
volume saved under each page.
The ADCOM universal remote controller is preset to
operate all GTP-880 functions (main and tuner device
mode) and most ADCOM DVD and CD player functions.
Alkaline batteries are recommended for maximum operat-
ing 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.
2.3 Remote Features
[32] Main Button
In all modes, button provides access and control to the
GTP-880.
[33] Source Selection Buttons
These buttons switch inputs on the GTP-880, making the
selected source active. They also can change the func-
tions of other buttons on the remote controller.
[34] Power Button
In all modes, this is pre programmed to toggle on/standby
the GTP-880 power.
[35] Mute Button
In all modes, this button is pre programmed to mute
outputs of device. Any adjustment of the volume control
while in the mute mode will release the muting.
[36] Volume Up & Down Buttons
In all modes, these buttons change the master volume
setting of the GTP-880. In all modes except main, they
can be reprogrammed with new commands.
[37] Tape & Aux Buttons
In main mode, these are similar to the source selectors
described above but they switch only GTP-880 inputs.
They do not automatically change the functions of other
remote buttons.
[38] Dynamic Range Button
The d. range button, which can be used only in combina-
tion with a Dolby Digital source, incrementally reduces
the audio track’s dynamic range in four steps to allow for
comfortable listening under a variety of conditions. Adjust
using the and buttons or the d.range button.
[39] Play Button
In CD and DVD mode, it is pre programmed for play with
an ADCOM GCD-750 and GDV-850.
