Adcom Programming your Adcom GTP-830 Remote Controller, Using Preprogrammed Commands

GTP-830 DIGITAL PROCESSING TUNER/PREAMPLIFIER

Programming your ADCOM GTP-830 Remote Controller

The ADCOM universal remote controller operates

eight different audio/video components. As you’ve

already seen, it’s preprogrammed to control

ADCOM’s GTP-830 Preamp/Tuner and the GCD-700/750

CD players. In addition, it has seven “component

memory banks” available so you can program the

remote to learn commands for your DVD player,

satellite box, laser disc player, VCR, etc. This lets you

use one remote controller for your entire system.

Using Preprogrammed Commands

Using the remote controller’s preprogrammed com- mands is simple. For most GTP-830 functions (vol- ume up/down, changing surround modes, etc.), follow these easy steps.

1.Press the main source selector button. This tells the remote that you want to use GTP-830 prepro- grammed commands. The main button will flash red to tell you it understands.

2.Press the appropriate function button (volume up, volume down, etc..) If you’ve selected a button that actually triggers a GTP-830 command, the main button will again flash red to confirm your choice. If the main button does not flash, you’ve selected a function button that isn’t preprogrammed.

(Review the table above to see which buttons are preprogrammed.)

For tuner functions (changing stations, etc.):

1.Press the tuner source selector button. It will flash red.

2.Press the tuning up (or tuning down) function button to change stations. The tuner source selector will flash red to confirm that the function button you’ve selected actually triggers a command. (Again, use the table to see which buttons are preprogrammed.)

Press the CD source selector first to access prepro- grammed commands for ADCOM CD players.

NOTE:

You can program new commands over the prepro- grammed commands in tuner and CD if you wish. However, you cannot program any buttons, even those unprogrammed with GTP-830 command codes, while you’re in main mode. This safety feature assures you that you will always be able to fully enjoy the GTP-830’s capabilities.

Programming Your Own Commands

You can supplement preprogrammed commands with commands to operate other components. Before you begin to follow these steps, note the status LED located at the top left corner just above the remote’s button panel: It will flash red, orange, or green to signal particular functions as you enter new commands into your ADCOM remote.

Begin by deciding which source component’s com- mands you will be transferring to the ADCOM remote. Then press the appropriate source selector button. For example, if you’re teaching your ADCOM remote commands for your Video 1 source, press the vid 1 source selector first. You can “teach” your remote new commands for any func- tion button ( except backlight) after you’ve selected vid 1, vid 2, vid 3, vid 4, vid 5, tuner, or CD.

1.Place the source component’s remote “head to head” with the ADCOM remote. They should be in line with each other about 2 to 3 inches apart.

2.Press the ADCOM remote’s appropriate source selector and select buttons simultaneously. Hold both buttons until the status LED turns orange and the source selector button glows red. Both indicators should remain lit.

3.Decide which function button on the ADCOM remote you want to learn a new command. Press it. The orange status LED will begin to flash and the source selector LED will go out.

4.Find the corresponding button on the source component’s remote. Press and hold it until the status LED on the ADCOM remote flashes green once and remains green until the button on the source remote is released. Once the button on the source remote is released, the status LED will start flashing orange again.
