TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT USE THIS POLARIZED PLUG WITH  
AN EXTENSION CORD, RECEPTACLE OR OTHER OUTLET UNLESS THE  
BLADES CAN BE FULLY INSERTED TO PREVENT BLADE EXPOSURE.  
The graphic symbol of a lightning flash with an  
arrow point within a triangle signifies that there  
is dangerous voltage within the unit and it poses  
a hazard to anyone removing the cover to gain  
access to the interior of the unit. OnIy qualified  
service personnel should make any such attempt.  
CAUTION POWER LINES  
Any outdoor antenna must be located away from all power lines.  
OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING  
If an outside antenna is connected to your tuner or tuner/preamplifier,  
be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection  
against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the  
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 701984, provides information  
with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure,  
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of  
grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to  
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.  
The graphic symbol of an exclamation point within  
an equilateral triangle warns a user of the device  
that it is necessary to refer to the instruction manual  
and its warnings for proper operation of the unit.  
Donotplacethisunitonanunstablecart, stand, tripod,  
bracket, or table. The unit may fall, causing serious  
injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the  
unit. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or  
table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with  
the unit. Any mounting of the device should follow the  
manufacturer’sinstructions, andshoulduseamounting  
accessory recommended by the manufacturer.  
a. Use No.10 AWG (5.3 mm2) copper, No.8 AWG (8.4 mm2) aluminum, No.17  
AWG (1.0 mm2) copper clad steel or bronze wire, or larger, as a ground wire.  
b. Secure antenna lead-in and ground wires to house with stand-off  
insulators spaced from 46 feet (1.221.83 m) apart.  
Read all the safety and operating instructions before connecting or using  
this unit.  
c. Mount antenna discharge unit as close as possible to where lead-in enters  
house.  
Retain this notice and the owner’s manual for future reference.  
All warnings on the unit and in its operating instructions should be adhered to.  
All operating and use instructions should be followed.  
d. Use jumper wire not smaller than No.6 AWG (13.3 mm2) copper, or the  
equivalent, when a separate antenna grounding electrode is used. See NEC  
Section 810-21 (j).

Congratulations on your decision to

Two channel audio is better than ever!  
The new DVD Audio and SACD formats  
can support a wider frequency spectrum  
(100kHz) and greater dynamic range  
(144dB) than conventional CD. The GPF-  
715 is designed to capture all the fidelity  
that high resolution audio has to offer,  
with precision broadband components  
and an ultra low noise floor. Equipped  
with a processor loop, a tape loop and  
a phono stage, this new ADCOM preamp  
hasn’t forgotten about your legacy  
components.Audition the GFP-715 paired  
with an ADCOM power amp and DVD  
player and rediscover the magic of two

your new stereo preamplifier, and before  
making any connections to it, please  
read these operating and installation  
instructions thoroughly.  
shipping carton and packing materials  
are not available for inspection by  
the carrier. Save all packing materials  
until the claim has been settled.  
Safety Information  
There are no user serviceable parts  
inside. Refer all servicing to qualified  
service personnel.  
Placing the GFP-715  
The unit must be connected to a power  
supply only of the type and voltage  
specified on the rear panel. Connect  
the component to the power outlet  
only with the supplied power supply  
cable or an exact equivalent. Do not  
modify the supplied cable. Do not  
defeat grounding and/or polarization  
provisions. The cable should be  
connected to a 3-pin polarized wall  
outlet, matching the wide blade of the  
plug to the wide slot of the receptacle.  
Do not use extension cords. Do not  
route the power cord where it will  
be crushed, pinched, bent, exposed  
to heat, or damaged in any way. Pay  
particular attention to the power cord  
Although the GFP-715 does not  
generate much heat, it is good practice  
to ensure the amplifier’s long-term,  
trouble-free operation to provide  
adequate ventilation for the unit.  
Therefore, the GFP-715 should be kept  
away from external sources of heat  
such as radiators and hot-air ducts.  
Key Features  
We recommend that you exercise  
care when placing components on top  
of the GFP-715. If you are placing a  
heat producing component (such as an  
amplifier) on top of or below the GFP-  
715, it is recommended that you allow  
at least 3 inches vertical spacing for  
proper airflow.

or the first component the cable is connected to (i.e. the  
cable box, or VCR). If the hum is no longer present, you  
must insert a “75Ω ground loop isolator” before reconnect-  
ing the line. You should check with your ADCOM dealer to  
obtain one. If the “75Ω ground loop isolator” works only  
partially or not at all, then please read note 2 to complete  
the troubleshooting procedure.  
Troubleshooting  
Use the troubleshooting notes above to solve common  
situations that don’t require professional attention. If the  
steps stated in possible solution do not resolve your prob-  
lem, then please contact your ADCOM dealer or call the  
ADCOM customer service department. Any problems not  
covered here should be brought to the attention of your  
ADCOM dealer or ADCOM customer service department.  
Note 2: Make sure that the power amplifier is at least 6”  
from processor or other equipment using microprocessors.  
Usually putting another component between them is suf-  
ficient to minimize the hum. If this does not reduce the  
hum, turn the system off and disconnect all Inputs from  
the amplifier. If the hum still persists, then your dealer or  
service center must examine the unit/system. If the hum  
disappears, try another set of RCA cables. Connect one RCA  
cable at a time to see if one specific cable is responsible.  
If any or all cables cause the hum to appear, then the unit  
should be evaluated for proper operation by your dealer or  
authorized service center. Please see our website or call us  
for a list of authorized service centers in your area.  
A special note on “hum:” When there is a low-volume  
“hum” audible throughout your speakers, even with the  
main volume turned all the way down, you have a com-  
mon phenomenon known as a “ground loop.” A ground loop  
is basically a difference in ground voltages between two  
or more components which are connected electrically and  
which creates multiple current paths where there must only  
be one. This difference in potentials creates a 60Hz low-  
level sound (approximately a low A), that seems to “hum.”  
It can be caused by adding new components to your system,  
but that does not imply there is anything electrically wrong  
with any new component. With the advent of audio/video  
and home theater systems, the problem has become com-  
monplace. Generally, the cause is the Cable-TV incoming  
signal line. This new incoming line may add an additional  
ground at a different potential to the AC line ground of  
your other equipment (refer to note I and 2, to trouble-  
shoot a hum problem).  
Servicing  
ADCOM has a technical service department to answer  
questions pertinent to the installation and operation of your  
unit. In the event of difficulty, please contact us for prompt  
advice. If your problem cannot be resolved through our  
combined efforts, we may refer you to an authorized repair  
agency, or authorize return of the unit to our factory. To aid  
us in directing you to a convenient service center, it would  
be helpful if you indicate which major city is accessible to  
your home.  
Note 1: Cable TV systems can sometimes contribute to  
ground loop problems which cause “hum.” To determine  
if your cable system is the contributing factor, disconnect  
the Cable-TV incoming signal line (round, 75Ω) at the wall,
