Like the front panel, the GTP-602’s rear panel is carefully arranged to make hookup, configuration, and use as simple as possible. However, the GTP-602’s capabilities take some study to use most effectively. We strongly suggest that you read this section of the manual before beginning to hook up your system. You will save yourself much time and effort if you carefully think out what you expect from your system: consider the components you will use, where they’ll be placed, and how you will want them to work together. The diagrams and notes in this section will probably answer most of your questions about interfacing the GTP-602 with other components in your system.

Note that the GTP-602’s RCA-style jacks have color-coded centers to make connections easier. Use this key to help route cables properly:

[7] Antenna Connections

AM Antenna: An AM loop antenna is supplied with the GTP-602 and is required for AM reception. Open the clip terminal lever and insert the wire from the antenna. Closing the lever will lock the wire in place. Test various positions for the antenna, but always ensure the loop is placed verti- cally for best reception. Placing the antenna close to large metal items such as metal shelves or radiators may interfere with reception.

NOTE: When reception is not satis- factory using the supplied AM loop antenna alone, connection of an external antenna is recommended. The antenna cable to the loop anten- na must not exceed three meters.

FM Antenna: A ribbon wire FM anten- na is included and should be connect- ed to the FM connector at the rear of the unit using the adapter supplied.

The ribbon aerial should be mounted on a vertical surface and placed so that it forms a ‘T’.

Experiment with placement of the antenna to find the position that gives the best signal strength and lowest background noise. An inad- equate FM signal normally results in high levels of hiss, especially in ste- reo, and interference from external electrical sources. In areas of poor FM reception, the tuner section’s per- formance can be improved by using an externally mounted FM antenna. A qualified aerial installer will be able to advise and fit a recommended aer- ial for your reception conditions.
