1.6 Input & Output System Connections
Like the front panel, the GTP-880’s rear panel is carefully
arranged to make hookup, configuration, and use as sim-
ple as possible. However, the GTP-880’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 prob-
ably answer most of your questions about interfacing the
GTP-880 with other components in your system.
Note that the GTP-880’s RCA-style jacks have color-coded
centers to make connections easier. Use this key to help
route cables properly:
RED centers = RIGHT CHANNEL ANALOG
AUDIO inputs or outputs
WHITE centers = LEFT CHANNEL ANALOG
AUDIO inputs or outputs
YELLOW centers = video inputs (composite)
BLACK centers = DIGITAL AUDIO inputs and
CENTER CHANNEL and
SUBWOOFER inputs and outputs

AM/FM Antenna Inputs
FM Antenna terminal: Use to connect the supplied FM
antenna or an external 75 Ω antenna. Do not over tighten
as this may damage the connection.
The supplied FM antenna is for indoor use only. For best
signal reception you must fully extend the antenna. Ex-
periment with the antenna’s position to obtain the stron-
gest signal. You can attach it to a wall or other surface
using push pins or similar apparatus.
If reception is poor with the supplied indoor antenna, using
an amplified indoor or outdoor antenna is recommended.
Note: You can only connect a 75Ω type FM antenna to the
GTP-880. If you choose to use an antenna other than the
one supplied, be sure to verify that it has the correct type
of connector or that you obtain an appropriate adaptor.
Try to avoid using the same antenna for both FM and TV
reception since the signals can interfere with each other.
If you must use a common FM/TV antenna, be sure that
you install an splitter to separate the two signals.
AM Antenna terminals: Connect the supplied AM loop
antenna or an external AM antenna to these terminals.
Connect the AM antenna to the terminals labeled AM and
gnd (ground) on the rear panel of the GTP-880. Start by
pressing the lever on the side of one of the terminals to
the right. Next, insert one of the antenna wires into the
opening. Finish by returning the lever to the up position,
securing the wire. Do the same for the other wire to
complete installation.

S-Video Inputs
Use these inputs for connection to the s-video output from
sources such as a DVD or LD player, satellite receiver, cable
box, PVR or other video source. Note that when the compo-
nent video inputs are used, connect the analog audio outputs
of the source to the DVD or Video 1 jacks, as appropriate.
Connect the VCR-OUT jack to the input of a VCR or other
recorder and connect the OUT jack to an s-video input on
your video display device.
