Congratulations on your decision
to purchase the GTP-602 tuner/
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.
Key Features
• RDS tuner
• Phono input stage
• RS 232 control
• 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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
Safety Information
There are no user serviceable parts
inside. Refer all servicing to qualied
service personnel.
The unit must be connected to a power
supply only of the type and voltage
specied 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
qualied service agency if:
• the power supply cord or plug has
been damaged;
• objects have fallen or liquid has
been spilled into the unit;
• 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.
