Programming your ADCOM GTP-830
Remote Controller
The ADCOM universal remote controller operates
eight different audio/video components. As you’ve
already seen, it’s preprogrammed to control
ADCOM’s GTP-830 Preamp/Tuner and the GCD-700/750
CD players. In addition, it has seven “component
memory banks” available so you can program the
remote to learn commands for your DVD player,
satellite box, laser disc player, VCR, etc. This lets you
use one remote controller for your entire system.
Using Preprogrammed Commands
Using the remote controller’s preprogrammed com-
mands is simple. For most GTP-830 functions (vol-
ume up/down, changing surround modes, etc.),
follow these easy steps.
1. Press the main source selector button. This tells
the remote that you want to use GTP-830 prepro-
grammed commands. The main button will flash
red to tell you it understands.
2. Press the appropriate function button (volume
up, volume down, etc..) If you’ve selected a button
that actually triggers a GTP-830 command, the main
button will again flash red to confirm your choice.
If the main button does not flash, you’ve selected a
function button that isn’t preprogrammed.
(Review the table above to see which buttons are
preprogrammed.)
For tuner functions (changing stations, etc.):
1. Press the tuner source selector button. It will
flash red.
2. Press the tuning up (or tuning down) function
button to change stations. The tuner source selector
will flash red to confirm that the function button
you’ve selected actually triggers a command.
(Again, use the table to see which buttons are
preprogrammed.)
Press the CD source selector first to access prepro-
grammed commands for ADCOM CD players.
NOTE:
You can program new commands over the prepro-
grammed commands in tuner and CD if you wish.
However, you cannot program any buttons, even those
unprogrammed with GTP-830 command codes, while
you’re in main mode. This safety feature assures you
that you will always be able to fully enjoy the GTP-830’s
capabilities.
Programming Your Own Commands
You can supplement preprogrammed commands
with commands to operate other components.
Before you begin to follow these steps, note the
status LED located at the top left corner just above
the remote’s button panel: It will flash red, orange,
or green to signal particular functions as you enter
new commands into your ADCOM remote.
Begin by deciding which source component’s com-
mands you will be transferring to the ADCOM
remote. Then press the appropriate source selector
button. For example, if you’re teaching your
ADCOM remote commands for your Video 1
source, press the vid 1 source selector first. You can
“teach” your remote new commands for any func-
tion button ( except backlight) after you’ve selected
vid 1, vid 2, vid 3, vid 4, vid 5, tuner, or CD.
1. Place the source component’s remote “head to
head” with the ADCOM remote. They should be in
line with each other about 2 to 3 inches apart.
2. Press the ADCOM remote’s appropriate source
selector and select buttons simultaneously. Hold
both buttons until the status LED turns orange and
the source selector button glows red. Both
indicators should remain lit.
3. Decide which function button on the ADCOM
remote you want to learn a new command. Press it.
The orange status LED will begin to flash and the
source selector LED will go out.
4. Find the corresponding button on the source
component’s remote. Press and hold it until the
status LED on the ADCOM remote flashes green
once and remains green until the button on the
source remote is released. Once the button on the
source remote is released, the status LED will start
flashing orange again.
