command codes, while you’re in main mode. This safety feature assures you that you will always be able to fully enjoy the GTP- 860’s capabilities.

The ADCOM universal remote controller operates eight dif- ferent audio/video components. As you’ve already seen, it’s preprogrammed to control ADCOM’s GTP-860 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 commands is simple. For most GTP-860 functions (volume 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-860 preprogrammed commands. The main button will flash red to tell you it understands.

2.Press the appropriate function button (volume up, vol- ume down, etc.) If you’ve selected a button that actually triggers a GTP-860 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 pre- programmed.

(Review the table above to see which buttons are prepro- grammed.)

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 preprogrammed commands in tuner and CD if you wish. However, you cannot program any buttons, even those unprogrammed with GTP-860

Programming Your Own Commands

You can supplement preprogrammed commands with com- mands 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 commands 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 function 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 but- ton 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 compo- nent’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.

5.Verify that the ADCOM remote has learned the new command by pressing and holding the same button on the source remote. The ADCOM remote’s status LED should flash green twice and then go back to steady orange. This indicates successful programming. Release the button on the source remote.
