1.3 The Remote Control

The GTP-830 remote control is a learning remote

control that is capable of saving commands for all

remote controls in your home theater system. In

this way, you may eliminate the confusion of using

multiple remotes. Although such power comes

with some added complexity, the complexity is

minimal and with some repetition will become

second nature.

Eight Source Select Buttons

The single most important aspect to master about the GTP-830 remote control is the function of the eight source select buttons at the top of the remote. These are the buttons labeled [51] and [24] in the figure on the opposite page. Each of these buttons cause two things to happen when used. First, they select the corresponding input on the GTP-830. Second, THESE KEYS REMAP ALL OF THE OTHER BUTTONS ON THE REMOTE CONTROL. You can think of each of these buttons as having a page of commands associated with it. Some buttons, such as volume up and down, are preprogrammed to operate the GTP-830 for each source. These buttons can be “written over” if you like, but default to GTP- 830 operations for your convenience.

Most of the GTP-830 remote commands are saved under the main remote page. Whenever you desire to control the GTP-830 via remote, you must first ensure the main page is active. As an example, press [51] main on the remote control. Now, press the dim button. If your GTP-830 is on, the bright- ness of the front panel display changes. Notice also that the main button on your remote illuminates. This serves as a reminder that the main remote page is currently active. Now press the CD button and then the play button. Notice now that the CD source button lights. The CD remote page is now active. If you have an ADCOM CD player, this com- mand will cause an idle CD to play. Now, press the dim button again. You should note that CD button does not light. The dim command is not prepro- grammed in the CD remote page. If your GTP-830 is on you will also notice the display does not respond to this command. Press the [51] main button again

to reenter the main remote page. The dim button will now again change the GTP-830 display.

The button description that follows distinguishes the function of each button dependent on the page the remote is in. The remote is shipped from the factory with ADCOM commands saved under the main, tuner, and CD pages, and with important GTP-830 functions such as volume saved under each page.

The ADCOM universal remote controller is preset to operate all GTP-830 functions (MAIN and TUNER device mode) and most GCD-700/750 CD functions (CD device mode).

Alkaline batteries are recommended for maximum operating life. Four AAA (R 03) batteries should be fitted in the battery compartment at the rear of the remote control. When replacing batteries, check that they have been put in correctly, as indicated on the base of the battery compartment.

Remote Features

[24] Source selectors (vid 1, vid 2, vid 3, vid 4, vid 5, tuner, CD, tape, ext 5.1):

These buttons serve two functions.

First, they switch inputs on the GTP-830 so you can hear the source you’ve just selected.

Second (and even more important), they can change the functions of all the other buttons on the remote controller. In other words, if you first push the CD device selector, the remote’s play button generates a command code for your DVD player. If you then press the vid 5 device selector, the same play button would send a different command code that might, for example, start your mini-disc player. (Of course, this all depends on how you pro- grammed the remote in the first place. This will be covered shortly.)

[25] Power button:

In all modes, this is preprogrammed to turn the GTP-830 on and off.

[26] Input selectors (tape, ext 5.1):

In main mode, these are similar to the source selec- tors described above but they switch only GTP-830 inputs. They DO NOT automatically change the functions of other remote buttons.
