reinforce the low-end frequency response of the system.

80Hz low-pass crossover for subwoofer: 12 dB/octave

Down Position: LPF/HPF complete bypass path (analog multichannel input bass management disabled)

This position is ideal for DVD-Audio/SACD multichannel players which already include integrated bass management, a user has another multichannel analog bass management device, or all speakers in the system are full-range.

[27] Main Analog Audio outputs

Use the seven audio channel output jacks to connect the GTP-880 to an external power amplifier. The eighth jack supplies the output to a powered subwoofer or external subwoofer amplifier.

[28] Digital Audio Inputs

Use these inputs to connect the coaxial and optical digital audio signal output from such digital devices as CD, DVD or LD players. These inputs are fully assignable using the OSD.

[29] Digital Audio Outputs

Use the coaxial and optical digital outputs to connect the GTP-880 to a device such as CD recorder, DAT recorder, or other similar device that accepts a digital audio input.

[30] Main Power Switch

Turns the current to the GTP-880 on or off. Setting this button to the on position (pushed in) supplies power to the unit, enabling use of the standby power button on the front panel. When the main power switch is in the off position, current is cut off to the unit.

[31] AC Input

Use to connect the supplied AC power cord (see page 2).

Before proceeding, please observe the following precau- tions when connecting devices to your new GTP-880.

Do not plug the power cord into your GTP-880 until all other connections have been made.

Insert the supplied power cord into the AC input of the rear panel of the GTP-880. Do not use a power cord other than the one supplied with the GTP-880. It’s designed for use with the GTP-880 and should not be used with any other device.

Caution: Before you plug the power cord into an AC wall outlet, con- firm that all connections to the GTP-880 have been made correctly.

Warning: Never disconnect the power cord from the GTP-880 while the other end is plugged into an AC outlet. Doing so may cause an electric shock. Always connect power by plugging into the AC outlet last and disconnect by unplugging from the AC outlet first.

1.7 Connecting Components

Always refer to the instructions that came with the com- ponent that you are connecting for specific procedures, warnings and options.

For all analog connections, the red input jacks (R) are used for the right channel, white input jacks (L) are used for the left channel, and yellow input jacks (V) are used for the composite video connection.

Make sure to insert all plugs and connectors securely. Im- proper connections can result in noise, poor performance, or damage to the equipment.

Do not bundle audio/video connection cables with power cords and speaker cables. Doing so may adversely affect the picture and sound quality. For example, run all the power cords down one side of the cabinet, all the signal cords down the other side, and the speaker wires down the center.

When connecting devices to the digital inputs and outputs, you may also consider hooking up the analog connections to and from the components to insure that all signals can be employed by the GTP-880.

When using the optical input or output jacks, remove the protective cap and keep it in a safe place. When these jacks are not in use the protective cap should be replaced.

When using an optical input or output jack, always use a high-quality optical fiber cable.

Important Note: We strongly recommend that before you connect any loudspeakers to your amplifiers, you complete all needed connections and set up procedures to your GTP- 880 as outlined below. This will reduce the chance that a miss connection or other error will produce audio output that might damage your speakers or other components.
