2.2 Overview of the GRC-810

The GRC-810 remote control is a learning remote con- trol 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.

The single most important aspect to master about the GRC- 810 remote control is the function of the source selection buttons at the top of the remote. Each of these buttons cause two things to happen when used. First, they select the corresponding input on the GTP-880. 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 pre programmed to operate the GTP-880 for each source. These buttons can be “written over” if you like, but default to GTP-880 operations for your convenience.

Most of the GTP-880 remote commands are saved under the main remote page. Whenever you desire to control the GTP-880 via remote, you must first ensure the main page is active. As an example, press main on the remote control. Now, press the dim button. If your GTP-880 is on, the brightness 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 GCD-750 player, this command 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 pre programmed in the CD remote page. If your GTP-880 is on you will also notice the display does not respond to this command. Press the main button again to reenter the main remote page. The dim button will now again change the GTP-880 display.

The button description that follows distinguishes the func- tion 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, DVD, and CD pages, and with important GTP-880 functions such as volume saved under each page.

The ADCOM universal remote controller is preset to operate all GTP-880 functions (main and tuner device mode) and most ADCOM DVD and CD player functions.

Alkaline batteries are recommended for maximum operat- ing 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.

2.3Remote Features [32] Main Button

In all modes, button provides access and control to the GTP-880.

[33] Source Selection Buttons

These buttons switch inputs on the GTP-880, making the selected source active. They also can change the func- tions of other buttons on the remote controller.

[34] Power Button

In all modes, this is pre programmed to toggle on/standby the GTP-880 power.

[35] Mute Button

In all modes, this button is pre programmed to mute outputs of device. Any adjustment of the volume control while in the mute mode will release the muting.

[36] Volume Up & Down Buttons

In all modes, these buttons change the master volume setting of the GTP-880. In all modes except main, they can be reprogrammed with new commands.

[37] Tape & Aux Buttons

In main mode, these are similar to the source selectors described above but they switch only GTP-880 inputs. They do not automatically change the functions of other remote buttons.

[38] Dynamic Range Button

The d. range button, which can be used only in combina- tion with a Dolby Digital source, incrementally reduces the audio track’s dynamic range in four steps to allow for comfortable listening under a variety of conditions. Adjust using the and buttons or the d.range button.

[39] Play Button

In CD and DVD mode, it is pre programmed for play with an ADCOM GCD-750 and GDV-850.
