Placement of your GTP-880

Your system components need a stable, vibration-free supporting surface. Your ADCOM dealer will be pleased to show you many different types of audio/video equipment racks and cabinets. Keep the GTP-880 (and other audio/ video components) away from moisture and out of direct sunlight. Bear in mind that the GTP-880’s rear panel is the central connecting point for almost every component in your audio/video system. Leave sufficient room behind the rear panel to accommodate cables, antenna leads, power cords, etc. We recommend a minimum of 5 inches of free space behind the GTP-880 for maximum flexibility.

A distance of 1/2” should be maintained around the GTP- 880 for ventilation. Keep your GTP-880 in a room where temperatures remain fairly moderate, and never cover it with table cloths, curtains, newspapers, etc., to avoid potential overheating.
