Volume control
The volume control adjusts the overall loudness of the
signals being fed to the preamplifier outputs. Unlike con-
ventional controls, the GTP-880’s volume control doesn’t
have a start or end position. Volume can also be adjusted
from the remote control using the master volume up or
down buttons. The volume control does not affect record-
ings made using the tape or VCR outputs but will affect
the signal going to the preamp outputs. The volume level
is indicated in the display panel when it is being adjusted,
