Congratulations on your decision  
to purchase the GTP-602 tuner/  
Placing the GTP-602  
Although the GTP-602 does not gen-  
erate much heat, it is good practice  
to provide adequate ventilation for  
the unit. Therefore, the GTP-602  
should be kept away from external  
sources of heat such as radiators and  
hot-air ducts.  
Safety Information  
There are no user serviceable parts  
inside. Refer all servicing to qualified  
service personnel.  
preamplifier. Your new ADCOM compo-  
nent was designed to deliver incredi-  
ble sound and years of reliable perfor-  
mance. Audition the GTP-602 paired  
with an ADCOM power amp and DVD  
player and you will experience what  
high performance is all about. To real-  
ize the full potential of your GTP-602,  
and before making any connections  
to it, please read these operating and  
installation instructions thoroughly.  
The unit must be connected to a power  
supply only of the type and voltage  
specified on the rear panel. Connect  
the component to the power outlet only  
with the supplied power supply cable or  
an exact equivalent. Do not modify the  
supplied cable. Do not defeat grounding  
and/or polarization provisions. The  
cable should be connected to a 3-pin  
polarized wall outlet, matching the  
wide blade of the plug to the wide slot  
of the receptacle. Do not use extension  
cords. Do not route the power cord  
where it will be crushed, pinched,  
bent, exposed to heat, or damaged in  
any way. Pay particular attention to  
the power cord at the plug and where  
it exits the back of the unit. The power  
cord should be unplugged from the wall  
outlet if the unit is to be left unused  
for a long period of time. Immediately  
stop using the component and have  
it inspected and/or serviced by a  
qualified service agency if:  
We recommend that you exercise care  
when placing components on top of the  
GTP-602. If you are placing a heat pro-  
ducing component (such as an ampli-  
fier) on top of or below the GTP-602, it  
is recommended that you allow at least  
three (3) inches vertical spacing for  
proper airflow.  
Key Features  
• RDS tuner  
• Phono input stage  
• RS 232 control  
We also recommend that you leave five  
(5) inches of space behind the unit for  
additional airflow and to allow space  
for interconnects to hang freely.  
Torriodial power transformer  
Unpacking the GTP-602  
Before your new ADCOM tuner-pream-  
plifier left our factory, it was carefully  
inspected for physical imperfections  
and tested for all electrical parameters  
as a routine part of ADCOM’s system-  
atic quality control. This, along with  
full operational and mechanical test-  
ing, should ensure a product flawless  
in both appearance and performance.  
After you have unpacked the GTP-  
602, inspect it for physical damage.  
Save the shipping carton and all pack-  
ing material as they are intended to  
reduce the possibility of transporta-  
tion damage should the preamplifier  
ever need to be shipped again. In the  
unlikely event damage has occurred,  
notify your dealer immediately and  
request the name of the carrier so a  
written claim to cover shipping dam-  
ages can be initiated. The right to a  
claim against a public carrier can be  
forfeited if the carrier is not notified  
promptly in writing and if the shipping  
carton and packing materials are not  
available for inspection by the carrier.  
Save all packing materials until the  
claim has been settled.

• the power supply cord or plug has  
been damaged;  
• objects have fallen or liquid has  
been spilled into the unit;  
If you observe these recommenda-  
tions, the GTP-602 will perform reliably  
in any reasonable environment. You  
should also pay attention to such nor-  
mal considerations as protection from  
excessive dust and moisture.  
• the unit has been exposed to rain;  
• the unit shows signs of improper  
operation; or  
• the unit has been dropped or  
damaged in any way.  
The optimal performance of your new  
GTP-602 will ultimately depend on the  
care with which you make the connec-  
tions between the amplifier, preampli-  
fier and loudspeakers. All input and  
output signal connections should be  
made only with high quality, low-loss,  
low capacitance cables. For recom-  
mendations of the type and quality of  
interconnections that are best for your  
applications, consult with your ADCOM  
retailer.

RDS Tuner Overview  
Listeneing to a radio station that  
you have preset:  
NOTE: Tuner reception cannot take  
place unless an appropriate AM and/  
or FM antenna is connected to the  
rear panel of the GTP-602.  
1. Set the GTP-602 to tuner.  
2. Use the keypad on the remote  
control to select the preset that you  
want to hear.  
To operate the tuner:  
The tuner frequency changes to the  
new station in the preset memory of

Pressing the button again returns the  
FM tuner to stereo mode.  
4. Press and hold either the tune  
buttons on the front panel or on the  
remote to scan continuously up or  
down the selected band.  
3. Enter the new preset/memory  
location (01 through 12) using the  
keypad on the remote or the up and  
down buttons. This replaces the pre-  
viously memorized preset with your  
new selection. You have approxi-  
mately five seconds to enter a num-  
ber.  
memory Button: This button is used  
to program preset stations. See the  
instructions following for more infor-  
mation.  
5. Press the FM mode button on the  
front panel to toggle between stereo  
and mono.  
tune/preset button: This button  
toggles the tuner between the direct  
tuning mode and the preset selection-

If an FM station produces lots of noise  
or sound that cuts in and out while  
in stereo, use the FM mode button to  
switch from stereo to mono.  
Up and Down Buttons: The func-  
tion of these buttons depends on the  
tuning mode selected with the tune/  
preset button.  
To preset a radio station into  
memory:  
1. Tune to the radio station you desire.  
In preset mode (indicated in the  
display area): Press the down button  
to scroll to a lower number preset;  
press the up button to scroll to a  
higher preset number. This is a “wrap-  
around” function, so that going from  
the highest number preset, the tuner  
will go to the lowest preset number  
or vice-versa when tuning either up  
or down.  
2. Press and hold the mem button on  
the remote or the memory button on  
the front panel for 3 seconds to store  
a station into a preset location. The  
display will change to show the word  
“memory” along with a flashing num-  
ber.  
3. Use the up or down buttons to  
select the preset number that you  
wish program. This programs the cur-  
rent radio station to that memory  
location. You have approximately five  
seconds to enter a number.  
In tune mode: Press the up or down  
button to adjust the frequency cur-  
rently being received. You can also  
press and hold the buttons to make  
faster adjustments.

Like the front panel, the GTP-602’s  
rear panel is carefully arranged to  
make hookup, configuration, and use  
as simple as possible. However, the  
GTP-602’s capabilities take some study  
to use most effectively. We strongly  
suggest that you read this section of  
the manual before beginning to hook  
up your system. You will save yourself  
much time and effort if you carefully  
think out what you expect from your  
system: consider the components you  
will use, where they’ll be placed,  
and how you will want them to work  
together. The diagrams and notes in  
this section will probably answer most  
of your questions about interfacing  
the GTP-602 with other components in  
your system.  
[ ] Antenna Connections  
7
Experiment with placement of the  
antenna to find the position that  
gives the best signal strength and  
lowest background noise. An inad-  
equate FM signal normally results in  
high levels of hiss, especially in ste-  
reo, and interference from external  
electrical sources. In areas of poor  
FM reception, the tuner section’s per-  
formance can be improved by using  
an externally mounted FM antenna. A  
qualified aerial installer will be able  
to advise and fit a recommended aer-  
ial for your reception conditions.  
AM Antenna: An AM loop antenna is  
supplied with the GTP-602 and is  
required for AM reception. Open the  
clip terminal lever and insert the  
wire from the antenna. Closing the  
lever will lock the wire in place. Test  
various positions for the antenna, but  
always ensure the loop is placed verti-  
cally for best reception. Placing the  
antenna close to large metal items  
such as metal shelves or radiators may  
interfere with reception.  
NOTE: When reception is not satis-  
factory using the supplied AM loop  
antenna alone, connection of an  
external antenna is recommended.  
The antenna cable to the loop anten-  
na must not exceed three meters.  
Note that the GTP-602’s RCA-style  
jacks have color-coded centers to  
make connections easier. Use this key  
to help route cables properly:

or the first component the cable is connected to (i.e. the  
cable box, or VCR). If the hum is no longer present, you  
must insert a “75Ω ground loop isolator” before reconnect-  
ing the line. You should check with your ADCOM dealer to  
obtain one. If the “75Ω ground loop isolator” works only  
partially or not at all, then please read note 2 to complete  
the troubleshooting procedure.  
Troubleshooting  
Use the troubleshooting notes above to solve common  
situations that don’t require professional attention. If the  
steps stated in possible solution do not resolve your prob-  
lem, then please contact your ADCOM dealer or call the  
ADCOM customer service department. Any problems not  
covered here should be brought to the attention of your  
ADCOM dealer or ADCOM customer service department.  
Note 2: Make sure that the power amplifier is at least 6”  
from processor or other equipment using microprocessors.  
Usually putting another component between them is suf-  
ficient to minimize the hum. If this does not reduce the  
hum, turn the system off and disconnect all Inputs from  
the amplifier. If the hum still persists, then your dealer or  
service center must examine the unit/system. If the hum  
disappears, try another set of RCA cables. Connect one RCA  
cable at a time to see if one specific cable is responsible.  
If any or all cables cause the hum to appear, then the unit  
should be evaluated for proper operation by your dealer or  
authorized service center. Please see our website or call us  
for a list of authorized service centers in your area.  
A special note on “hum:” When there is a low-volume  
“hum” audible throughout your speakers, even with the  
main volume turned all the way down, you have a com-  
mon phenomenon known as a “ground loop.” A ground loop  
is basically a difference in ground voltages between two  
or more components which are connected electrically and  
which creates multiple current paths where there must only  
be one. This difference in potentials creates a 60Hz low-  
level sound (approximately a low A), that seems to “hum.”  
It can be caused by adding new components to your system,  
but that does not imply there is anything electrically wrong  
with any new component. With the advent of audio/video  
and home theater systems, the problem has become com-  
monplace. Generally, the cause is the Cable-TV incoming  
signal line. This new incoming line may add an additional  
ground at a different potential to the AC line ground of  
your other equipment (refer to note I and 2, to trouble-  
shoot a hum problem).  
Servicing  
ADCOM has a technical service department to answer  
questions pertinent to the installation and operation of your  
unit. In the event of difficulty, please contact us for prompt  
advice. If your problem cannot be resolved through our  
combined efforts, we may refer you to an authorized repair  
agency, or authorize return of the unit to our factory. To aid  
us in directing you to a convenient service center, it would  
be helpful if you indicate which major city is accessible to  
your home.  
Note 1: Cable TV systems can sometimes contribute to  
ground loop problems which cause “hum.” To determine  
if your cable system is the contributing factor, disconnect  
the Cable-TV incoming signal line (round, 75Ω) at the wall,  
Troubleshooting Tip  
Your GTP-602’s circuitry is built around advanced microprocessors. The GTP-602 may exhibit  
occasional anomalies arising from AC line surges, etc. If you experience unexpected behavior,  
or if the GTP-602 “locks up” and does not respond to control input, reset it by turning the rear  
panel power switch off. (Do not use the remote control’s “power” button). Wait 10 seconds and  
then turn the GTP-602 on using the rear panel power switch.
