ADVANCED OPERATION
26) SYSTEM BALANCING: After you’ve physically set up your system, use the RC-65 remote controller to balance
the relative outputs of all speakers to fully enjoy the spatial benefits of Dolby Pro Logic decoding.
A) Verify that you’re in Cinema or Dolby Pro Logic mode by making sure that the appropriate LEDs (the ones to
the left of “Cinema” and “Dolby Pro Logic”) are lighted. If some other mode is indicated, press the “Surround”
button (front panel ©or remote ©) until the proper LEDs appear.
B) Activate the Balance Check circuit by pressing the “bal check” button (front panel ©or remote ©). A test
tone that sounds like rushing water will start in the left front loudspeaker.
C) Adjust the center and rear channel outputs so that the sequential “rushing water” noise is equally loud when
heard through each speaker. Sit in your favorite chair and use the remote control for this adjustment.
D) Turn off the sequential test tone by pushing the “bal check” control (©or ©) again.
27) SURROUND and DELAY CHOICES: The GTP-600 gives you 7 operating modes to choose from. Choose the
mode best suited for your source by pushing the front panel or remote Surround button(©& © respectively) until
the LED beside the chosen mode lights. If no LED is visible, you have chosen 2 channel stereo (or surround
bypass.)
Each surround mode has a pre-programmed delay setting chosen to best complement that mode. You may
select another by sequentially pushing the delay button (© & ©). Note that not all delay settings are available
with all surround choices.
28) ON-SCREEN DISPLAY: The on-screen display gives an instant status check of selected inputs, operating modes,
delay choices, etc. Press the remote control’s Display button © to turn on the display, Press it again to turn it off.

1 ) UNPACKING: As part of ADCOM’s quality control procedures, your GTP-600 was carefully inspected for physical
imperfections and electrical performance before it left our plant. In the event of physical damage, notify your
ADCOM dealer immediately and request help in filing a written damage claim.
THE RIGHT TO A CLAIM AGAINST A COMMON CARRIER CAN BE FORFEITED IF THE CARRIER IS NOT NOTIFIED
PROMPTLY IN WRITING AND IF THE SHIPPING CARTON AND PACKING MATERIALS ARE NOT AVAILABLE
FOR INSPECTION. SAVE ALL PACKING MATERIALS UNTIL THE CLAIM HAS BEEN SETTLED.
The foam packing and carton were specifically designed to protect your GTP-600. Even though space is often at
a premium in today’s homes, we recommend that you save the packing materials in case you need to ship the unit
anywhere in the future.
2) PLACEMENT; A stable supporting surface is necessary. The more massive and firmly anchored the supporting
surface is, the less likely you’ll be to experience any problems.
3) POWER OFF!: Turn off system components before initial installation and connection. Remember to give any
power amplifiers sufficient time to fully discharge their power supplies before you begin your connections: 30
seconds after turn-off is usually sufficient.
CONNECTIONS
4) FM ANTENNA: The “T” shaped 300 ohm dipole antenna supplied with the GTP-600 will probably be adequate for
most installations. After you’ve connected the rest of your system and turned it on, select Tuner from the
Audio
Source selectors ©. Then choose FM by pressing the FM/AM selector Q until "FM” appears in the display
