Connections Overview
Before You Begin
The GTP-870HD is the heart and soul of your en-
tertainment system. All roads lead to it (from your
input devices), and all roads lead from it (to your
output devices). In this chapter, you will connect the
GTP-870HD to the various components in your home
theater system. These connections are presented in
three stages:
Before you begin connecting your devices, it is recom-
mended that you read all instructions, including the
instructions for each device you plan to connect.
•
For complex setups, it is useful to draw both a
logical and physical diagram of how and where
you plan to set up your components.
•
DO NOT CONNECT THE GTP-870HD POWER
CORD, DEVICE POWER CORDS OR TURN THE
POWER TO THE GTP-870HD OR DEVICES UNTIL
ALL GTP-870HD AND DEVICE CONNECTIONS
ARE COMPLETE. CONNECTING OR DISCON-
NECTING INPUT OR OUTPUT DEVICES WHILE
THE PREAMP AND/OR THE DEVICES ARE POW-
ERED CAN RESULT IN SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE
PREAMP AND/OR THE DEVICE.
Input Connections
These are the input connections for your source com-
ponents, such as DVD, CD and tape players; cable
boxes, satellite receivers and HDTV tuners; media

Component/Progressive Scan Connections
The GTP-870HD features four Component video in-
puts for connection to DVD players, digital CableTV
boxes, digital satellite receivers, HDTV receivers/
tuners, and more. Component video is the best qual-
ity analog connection method to an HDTV display.
Special Note on Progressive Scan DVD Players
If you want to use the GTP-870HD’s built-in video
scaling capability, you MUST set the output of your
Progressive Scan DVD player to standard 480i resolu-
tion. Extended Definition (480p) and High Definition
analog sources connected to the component video
inputs are “bypassed” (i.e., sent to the component
output) as is—NOT scaled.

About HDMI
•
Using an HDMI cable, connect the HDMI out-
put on your source device to one of the HDMI
inputs on the GTP-870HD.
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is an ad-
vanced audio/video connection method that transfers
full-bandwidth, uncompressed digital audio and video
signals over a single cable.
3
4
Assign the HDMI input to an input source and con-
figure it.
•
See pages 33-35.
As a result, pure digital signals can pass unfettered
from your HDMI-compatible source components to
the GTP-870HD and out to your digital TV for superior
picture and sound quality.
Connect the HDMI output to your TV.
•
See page 22.
About the HDMI Scaler
The GTP-870HD is more than just a switch for HDMI
source components. The GTP-870HD comes with a
built-in scaler, a powerful video signal processor that
allows you to scale the 480i or 576i NTSC/PAL inputs
of your source components and output the precise
resolution for your display device up to 1080p.
Tip
The HDMI connections pass
both audio and video signals
video 1
in
from your source device to your
output device; however, to use
the full audio processing power
of the GTP-870 we recommend
that you connect a separate
audio cable (analog or digital)
from your source device to the
appropriate input on the
monitor output
That means you can run your legacy video sources
through the GTP-870HD to your HDMI display device
through a single cable. The powerful, integrated pro-
cessor deinterlaces and scales standard NTSC/PAL
signals to the native resolution of your display .

How can you achieve optimal balance in volume lev-
els from all speakers? The GTP-870HD supplies indi-
vidual sliders and a “pink noise” test tone to aid you
in balancing your speaker levels. For best results, it
is recommended that you use a Sound Pressure Level
(SPL) meter to precisely measure the volume levels
from each speaker. However, your ear aided by ex-
perimentation is ultimately the best judge. The fol-

Discrete Remote Control Commands
The GTP-870HD can be controlled via its serial RS-232 port. The serial port can be connected to a media con-
trol center, PC, or ‘dumb terminal’ via a straight-through standard 9-pin serial port cable (MALE on one end
and FEMALE on the other end). When using a PC, a terminal emulator program (e.g. HyperTerminal), can be
used to control the GTP-870HD. The communications parameters should be set as follows:
•
•
9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and Flow Control: Hardware.
All serial port control commands are structured as a four byte packet or string “<SOP>, <cmd>, <data>,
<EOP>”.
•
•
SPECIAL RESERVED CHARACTERS: <SOP> Start Of Packet = 0x7B = “{“ (The Left Curly Bracket); <EOP> End
Of Packet = 0x7D = “}” (The Right Curly Bracket).

Customer Support
Use the Troubleshooting chart on page 64 to resolve
common situations that don’t require professional at-
tention. If the information provided does not resolve
your problem, please contact your Adcom dealer or
contact the Adcom customer service department as
follows:
A Special Note on “Hum”
If there is a low-volume “hum” audible throughout
your speakers, even with the main volume turned
all the way down, you have a common phenomenon
known as a “ground loop.” Generally, the cause of a
ground loop is the CableTV incoming signal line.
Adcom, LLC
8541 E. Anderson Dr., Suite 101
Scottsdale, Arizona 85255
To determine if your cable system is the contributing
factor, disconnect the CableTV incoming signal line
(round, 75Ω) at the wall, or the first component the
cable is connected to (e.g. the cable box or VCR). If
the hum is no longer present, you must insert a “75Ω
ground loop isolator” before reconnecting the line.
Check with your Adcom dealer to obtain one.

Adcom Protection Plan
Adcom offers the enclosed valuable Limited War-
ranty. Please read the details on the Warranty Card
carefully to understand the extent of the protection
offered by the Warranty, its reasonable limitations,
and what you should do in order to obtain its ben-
efits. Be sure to verify that the serial number printed
on the rear panel matches the serial number on the
outer carton. If any number is altered or missing, you
should notify us immediately in order to ensure that
you have received a genuine Adcom product which
has not been opened, mishandled, or tampered with
in any way. Always retain your original sales receipt
as a proof of purchase.
System Reset
In rare cases the GTP-870HD internal processor may
freeze or lock-up causing abnormal operation. This
is common to all micro-processor controlled devic-
es when the unit is subject to excessive static dis-
charge, AC line noise, or power spikes. In most cases
it is easy to solve this problem by simply turning off
the GTP-870HD with the rear power switch (position
0) for about five minutes. After waiting, turn the unit
back on (position 1). If the unit functions normally,
no further action is needed.
In the event that the unit still does not operate prop-
erly, it may be necessary to manually reset the pro-
cessor. Note, however, that when the processor is
reset you will lose all settings including digital au-
dio assignments, surround mode settings, speaker
configurations, tuner presets and any other memory
items. For this reason we strongly recommend that
you record these settings so that it is easy to restore
them after resetting the processor. To reset the unit
to factory default settings you will need to enter the
discrete remote control command. Please refer back
to the discrete remote control commands table. The
command name is “Factory Defaults”, the IR code is
86h. This should reset the system.
Product Care & Maintenance
Before your Adcom preamp/processor left our fac-
tory, it was carefully inspected for physical imper-
fections and tested for all electrical parameters as
a routine part of Adcom’s systematic quality control.
This, along with full operational and mechanical
testing, should ensure a product flawless in both ap-
pearance and performance.
After you have unpacked the GTP-870HD, inspect it
for physical damage. Save the shipping carton and
all packing material as they are intended to reduce
the possibility of transportation damage should the
unit ever need to be shipped again. In the unlikely
event damage has occurred, notify your dealer im-
mediately and request the name of the carrier so a
written claim to cover shipping damages can be initi-
ated. The right to a claim against a public carrier can
be forfeited if the carrier is not notified promptly in
If the manual reset does not solve the problem, con-
tact your authorized Adcom dealer, an authorized
Adcom service center or contact Adcom’s service
department directly for further advice.
