Description of Unit
1.1 Interface Overview
The GTP-602’s front panel is designed for ease of operation. All controls are logically grouped for easy, intuitive operation. Familiarize yourself with the preceding diagram and read the short explanations of each feature below. When you finish, you will be well on your way to enjoying the GTP-602’s con- venience and sound quality.
[1] Power Button
The power button on the front panel toggles the unit between the “on” mode and the “stand-by” mode. For the GTP-602 to be in the “on” or “standby” mode, the rear panel power switch must be in the on postion (see next section for details). In the “on” mode the LED in the power button will be red and the front panel display will be illuminated, in the “stand-by” mode the LED will be amber and the front panel display will be off. If the unit is in the “standby” mode, the remote control can be used to switch the unit on.
NOTE: In stand-by mode the GTP-602 uses very little power. However, it is recommended that you switch the unit completely off, using the rear panel switch if it is not going to be used for more than a couple of days. When the GTP-602 is plugged into the wall, current may still be flowing into the transformer. Only when the GTP-602 is unplugged is all current into the device stopped.
[2] Source Buttons
The source buttons are used to select the device to which you would like to listen. The LED in the button of the active source will be illuminated.
[3] RDS Tuner Buttons
These buttons are utilized to control the AM/FM tuner. The RDS tuner over- view provides more detail on their operation.
[4] Display Window
The display area shows all vital informa- tion when the unit is operational.
[5] Equalization Buttons
These buttons provide control of adjust- ments to bass, treble and the balance functions. To adjust these functions, first push the treble, bass or balance button, then use the up/down buttons to the left of the display to make the desired change. In the bypass mode the bass and treble circuits are removed from the circuit path.
[6] Volume Knob
The Volume control adjusts the overall loudness of the signals being fed to the preamplifier outputs. Unlike conven- tional controls, the GTP-602’s volume control doesn’t have a start or end posi- tion. Volume can also be adjusted from the remote control using the volume up or down buttons. The Volume control does not affect recordings made using the Tape outputs. Volume setting can range from -80dB to +10dB.
