Multi Channel Audio: If your DVD player supplies a mul-
tichannel audio output (for DVD Audio or SACD playback),
connect the six outputs (special cable sets for this are
available from numerous sources) from your player to the
six input jacks labeled DVD Audio input on the rear panel
of the GTP-880. Be sure match the connections—left to
left, right surround to right surround, and so on.
If you are connecting a DVD-Audio or SACD player to the
GTP-880 using these jacks, you will need to consider the
setting for the analog bass management switch on the
GTP-880’s rear panel (see previous section for details).
CD Player
Analog: Connect the L and R channel outputs on the CD
player to the CD IN jacks on the GTP-880.
Digital: If your CD player has a digital output jack, connect
it to one of the coaxial (coax 1-3) or optical (opt 1-3) input
jacks on the GTP-880, depending on the type of connector
used by the CD player. Later, you will configure the GTP-
880 to use the specific input that you have chosen.
Audio Recorder
A recording device such as a cassette deck, MD recorder,
DAT deck or CD recorder can be connected to the GTP-880
using either or both of the following methods.
Analog: Connect the L and R audio outputs on the recorder
(usually marked “play”) to the tape in jacks on the rear of
the GTP-880 and connect the L and R audio inputs (usually
marked “rec”) to the tape out jacks of the GTP-880.
Digital: If your recorder has a digital output jack, connect
it to one of the coaxial (coax 1-3) or optical (opt 1-3) input
jacks on the GTP-880, depending on the type of connector
used by the device. Later, you will configure the GTP-880
to use the specific input that you have chosen.
If your recorder has a digital input jack, connect it to
either the coaxial or optical output jack on the GTP-880.
The signal from the selected digital input source of the
GTP-880 will be sent to the recorder.
Video Components
Before making connections to any video devices, it will
help to understand how the GTP-880 routes the video
portion of the signal.
Any signal that appears at one of the composite video
input jacks (DVD, VCR, video 1, 2 or 3) is automatically
sent to the composite video main out and VCR out jacks,
as well as the s-video main out and VCR out jacks.
Any signal that appears at the s-video input jacks (DVD,
VCR, video 1, 2 or 3) is automatically sent to the s-video
out and VCR out jacks, as well as the composite video out
and VCR out jacks.
Any signal that appears at the component video (DVD,
video 1, or video 2) input jacks is automatically sent to the
monitor component output connection only and only when
that source is selected.
Note: To provide the greatest signal flexibility, be sure
to connect all available types of inputs and outputs from
your video devices. For example, if only the composite
video output (yellow RCA jack) connection is made to your
display device, component sources will not be available,
even if they are connected to the GTP-880.
Video Recorder
A video recording device such as a VCR, PVR (such as a
TiVo®, Replay®, UltimateTV®, DishPlayer® or similar
device) or DVD recorder can be connected to the GTP-880
using the following methods.
Composite: Connect the composite video output from the
recording device to the VCR in composite video jack on
the rear of the GTP-880. Connect the recording device’s
composite video input to the VCR out composite video jack
of the GTP-880 using an RCA-type video cable.
S-video: If there is an s-video output on the recording de-
vice, connect it to the s-video VCR in input on the rear of
the GTP-880 and connect the s-video input to the s-video
VCR out using an s-video cable. S-video delivers a better
picture than composite connections and should be used
whenever possible unless you can use component connec-
tions, which deliver better video than s-video.
Component: If the recording device has component video
outputs, connect them to one of the component video
input jacks (DVD, video 1, video 2) on the rear of the GTP-
880 using an appropriate cable set.
Analog Audio: Connect the L and R audio outputs on the
recorder to the VCR in audio jacks on the rear of the GTP-
880 and connect the L and R inputs of the recorder to the
VCR out audio jacks on the GTP-880.
Digital Audio
If your recording device also has a digital audio output
jack, connect it to one of the coaxial (coax 1-3) or optical
