Adcom GTP-740 - Manual (Page 40)

Points to Remember:
• The test tone automatically cycles to the next speaker every three seconds UNLESS
you use the < and > buttons to adjust levels. (You will also notice that pressing some
other buttons on the remote controller will temporarily delay this advance.)
• You will probably need several passes until you've equalized levels. Don't be
concerned about this—it’s normal. Once you’ve brought each channel’s level close to 80
dB, one or two more passes will even things out and ensure precise balancing.___________________
When you’ve completed channel balancing, press the bal. chk button again. Both the test tone and the
BALANCE CHECK screen will disappear and the levels you’ve just selected will be memorized. This
completes the initial level calibration.
4.0 BASIC OPERATION
4.1 The Tuner
Selecting stations
As we have already explained in Section 1.1, using the tuning controls to receive your favorite FM
and AM broadcasts is a simple process.
- 1) Select the tuner input via the front panel (# 14) or remote control (# 30) button. The
information display will show the most recently received broadcast frequency.
2) If the band you want (AM or FM) is already displayed, proceed to step 3) below. If not, push
the FM/AM selector (#9 on the front panel, #44 on the remote) to change to the appropriate
band. .
3) Choose your preferred tuning method (seek or manual) by pressing the front panel
seek/manual button (# 10).
While in “seek” mode, the tuning buttonS’(front panel #11, rempte # 34) will take you to the next
active frequency. In “manual" mode, the tuning buttons wiil step to the next available frequency
even if it is unused.
4) Use the tuning buttons to select the station you wish to listen to.
Programming “preset” stations.
The GTP-740 can memorize up to 14 AM and 14 FM signals for instant recall. Place your favorite
stations in memory by:
1) Select either FM or AM as described above. Note the stations you want to preset. Starting at
the lowest end of the frequency range (88.1 for FM, 520 for AM), tune to the first station you
want to program into memory.
2) Press the preset 1 button (# 7 on the front panel, # 42 on the remote) and hold it for
approximately three (3) seconds. (Remember to push the remote’s tuner source selector
before using the keypad.) When you see “Preset 1” appear in the information display and the
LED in the preset 1 button light, that frequency is memorized.
