ADCOM GTP-860 OWNER’S MANUAL | 13
The video signal available on the S-Video and Video
Composite outputs is dependent on the selected video
input (Video 1, Video 2, Video 3, Video 4, Video 5).
However, when one of the audio-only sources is selected
(FM, AM, CD, Tape Monitor or ext 5.1) the last selected
video signal from one of the video inputs will be present
on these outputs. This way you can watch a DVD player or
video while using the 5.1 analog audio inputs from a DVD
player, as you might do when listening to a DVD-A or SACD disc.
[18] Video/Analog Audio Inputs &
Outputs
Apart from the audio signal, these inputs will also accept
a video signal which will be routed to the Monitor Out
sockets [17] for a television or video projector. Composite
connection (using the yellow RCA socket) or an S-Video
connection (using the Mini-Din connector) is available.
The S-Video standard allows for higher quality video signal
transfer when compared to the Video Composite standard. If
your video components have an S-Video connector use dedi-
cated S-Video leads to connect them to the GTP-860 in the
same way as described with the Video Composite equivalents.
A video signal fed to an S-Video input socket will be avail-
able on both the S-Video Monitor Out and Video Composite
Monitor Out.
Video 1 & Video 2:
Inputs for the audio playback and
video signal from a video device such as a stereo TV, DVD
player, satellite cable TV receiver or a Laser Disc. Using
twin RCA-to-RCA leads, connect to the left and right
‘Audio Out’ of the video device to these inputs. Using a
single RCA-to-RCA lead (Video Composite) or S-Video lead,
also connect the video output of the video device. Video 1
& Video 2 can be used for video playback only. Use Video
3 or Video 4 if you want to connect a VCR for recording
and playback through the GTP-860.
Video 3 & Video 4: Connections for the audio recording
and playback to a VCR or other video recorder. Using twin
RCA-to-RCA leads, connect to the left and right ‘Audio
Out’ of the VCR to the Video 3 or Video 4 IN connectors
for playback. Connect the left and right ‘Audio In’ of the
VCR to the Video 3 or Video 4 OUT connectors for record-
ing. Using a single RCA-to-RCA (Video Composite) lead or
S-Video lead, also connect the video output of the VCR
to Video In for Video playback. Connect the Video Input
of the VCR to Video Out of the GTP-860 preamplifier for
recording of video signals.
[19] Component Video Inputs & Output
The GTP 860 can switch between two sources with com-
ponent video output. The “video 1” and “video 2” sources
have the capabilities to accept component video signals.
Each component video signal uses three RCA type connec-
tions (Y-green plug, P
B
– blue plug, and P
R
– red plug), all
three connections should be made for optimum video per-
formance. Be sure to use high quality video
specific cables for connection. The Component video
connection is independent from the S-Video/Composite
video jacks. In order to maximize signal quality, no On-
screen text will appear on the component outputs. The
“video component output” jacks should be connected to
component video input on your TV.
[20] Multi-Zone Source Outputs
These output jacks provide a duplicate of the analog
audio signal that are connected to Video 1-4, CD and Tape
inputs. They are designed to allow the user to interface
the sources connected to the GTP-860 with an external
stereo receiver or tuner/preamplifier to facilitate multi-
zone operation. When using the GTP-860 in conjunction
with the GTP-506/GFA-5006 (a three room stereo tuner-
preamplifier and amplifier combination) the user can
deliver sound to three additional rooms using the same
source components hooked up to the GTP-860.
See drawing on next page (page 14) for details.
[21] Tape inputs and Outputs
Connections for analog recording and playback to an audio
tape recorder of any type, such as a cassette, reel-reel,
DAT, MD or CD-R. Using twin RCA-to-RCA leads, connect to
the left and right ‘Audio Output’ of the tape machine to
the TAPE IN connectors for playback. Connect the left and
right ‘Audio Input’ of the tape machine to the TAPE OUT
connectors for recording.
[22] CD Analog Inputs
Input for CD player (analog audio signal) or other line-level
signal source. Use a twin RCA-to-RCA lead to connect the
CD player’s left and right ‘Audio Outputs’ to this input.
