Adcom GTP-740 - Manual (Page 32)

3.1 What You Will Need
1) Decide which video format (composite or S-Video) you will use. After you’ve made that choice, follow
the instructions in the box titled Composite or S-Video in Section 1.2 to make sure your GTP-740 is
set properly.
2) Connect your monitor to the appropriate “monitor output” on the GTP-740. Turn your monitor on,
verify that it is receiving a signal by pressing the remote controller’s “menu” button. Once you see the
on-screen menu’s main screen, you’re ready.
3) Make sure you have a sound level meter handy if you have access or wish to purchase one.
Although you can calibrate the GTP-740 surprisingly well using your ears alone, we
strongly suggest a sound level meter for greater accuracy. TTie Radio Shack meter
(catalog # 33-2050) is both inexpensive and reasonably precise. Other sound level
meters offering improved accuracy and flexibility are available. In general, we find
meters with digital readouts less satisfactory for calibration work as the continuous
scale of an analog readout gives a more useful picture of sound level variations.
3.2 SETUP Screen (Main menu screen)
In composite video mode, all menu screens will show white copy against a blue
background. The highlighted choirs will show black letters against a light gray
rectangle.
If you’ve selected S-Video mode, all screens will show white copy against a dark
gray background. Highlighted choices show as black copy against a light gray
rectangle.
After you’ve connected your monitor to the GTP-740 and turned both units on, press the remote
controller’s menu button once. The following screen will appear;
SETUP
1 INPUTSETTINGS
2 CHANNEL DELAYS
3 SPEAKER SIZE
4 CHANNEL BALANCE
5 EXIT
This screen is the first step in configuring your GTP-740 to best serve your needs. It provides quick
access to all other menu choices.
Input settings should be highlighted. If it is not, use the remote controller’s Up/Down arrow buttons to
move the cursor to INPUT SETTINGS and press the remote’s Select button.
