Video 1 & Video 2 (Audio): Inputs for the audio
playback and video signal from a video device such
as a stereo TV, DVD player, satellite cable TV receiv-
er 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 con-
nect 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-830.
The optical Digital Input 1 [22] is linked to the
Video 1 input. Select Video 1 to hear a source
connected to Digital Input 1.
The coaxial Digital Input 2 [22] is linked to the
Video 2 input. Select Video 2 to hear a source
connected to Digital Input 2.
Video 3 & Video 4 (Audio): Connections for the
audio recording and playback to a VCR or other
video recorder. Using twin RCA-to-RCA leads, con-
nect 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 (only Video Composite for
Video 4) for Video playback. Connect the Video
Input of the VCR to Video Out of the GTP-830 pre-
amplifier for recording of video signals. Refer also
to the description of S-Video and Video Composite
above in the Monitor output description [17].
[19
] Tape inputs and outputs:
Connections for analog recording and playback to
an audio tape recorder of any type, such as a cas-
sette, 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.
[20] 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.
[21] External 5.1 Analog inputs:
Inputs for the multi-channel audio signals from an
external decoder, such as an SACD or DVD-Audio
player with integrated decoder. Use two twin RCA-
to-RCA leads to connect the decoder’s front left and
right ‘Audio Outputs’ to the Front left and right
inputs, and the decoder’s Surround left and right
outputs to the Surround left and right inputs. Use a
third twin RCA-to-RCA lead to connect the decoder’s
subwoofer output to the Subwoofer input and the
decoder’s Center channel
output to the Center channel
input. Make sure to follow
color coding of the plugs to
ensure that both Center and
Subwoofer are connected
correctly; for instance, use
the red plugs at either end to
connect the center channel
and the white plugs for the
subwoofer channel.
[22] Digital Audio inputs:
The GTP-830 has three digital audio inputs to allow
for connection of DVD, CD or other digital sources.
Digital Audio Input 1 allows for connection of a digital
source with an optical output. Use a cable terminated
with a TOS Link connector. This digital input is
linked to the Video 1 input.
Digital Audio Inputs 2 & 3 allow for connection of a
digital source with a coaxial digital output. Use a
cable with the proper impedance, specifically
designed for the transfer of digital signals. These
digital inputs are linked
respectively to Video 2
and Video 3.
