service personnel.
preamplifier. Your new ADCOM compo-
nent was designed to deliver incredi-
ble sound and years of reliable perfor-
mance. Audition the GTP-602 paired
with an ADCOM power amp and DVD
player and you will experience what
high performance is all about. To real-
ize the full potential of your GTP-602,
and before making any connections
to it, please read these operating and
installation instructions thoroughly.
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 at the plug and where
it exits the back of the unit. The power
cord should be unplugged from the wall
outlet if the unit is to be left unused
for a long period of time. Immediately
stop using the component and have
it inspected and/or serviced by a
qualified service agency if:
We recommend that you exercise care
when placing components on top of the
GTP-602. If you are placing a heat pro-
ducing component (such as an ampli-
fier) on top of or below the GTP-602, it
is recommended that you allow at least
three (3) inches vertical spacing for
proper airflow.
Key Features
• RDS tuner
• Phono input stage
• RS 232 control
We also recommend that you leave five
(5) inches of space behind the unit for
additional airflow and to allow space
for interconnects to hang freely.
• Torriodial power transformer
Unpacking the GTP-602
Before your new ADCOM tuner-pream-
plifier left our factory, it was carefully
inspected for physical imperfections
and tested for all electrical parameters
as a routine part of ADCOM’s system-
atic quality control. This, along with
full operational and mechanical test-
ing, should ensure a product flawless
in both appearance and performance.
After you have unpacked the GTP-
602, inspect it for physical damage.
Save the shipping carton and all pack-
ing material as they are intended to
reduce the possibility of transporta-
tion damage should the preamplifier
ever need to be shipped again. In the
unlikely event damage has occurred,
notify your dealer immediately and
request the name of the carrier so a
written claim to cover shipping dam-
ages can be initiated. The right to a
claim against a public carrier can be
forfeited if the carrier is not notified
promptly in writing and if the shipping
carton and packing materials are not
available for inspection by the carrier.
Save all packing materials until the
claim has been settled.

• the power supply cord or plug has
been damaged;
• objects have fallen or liquid has
been spilled into the unit;
If you observe these recommenda-
tions, the GTP-602 will perform reliably
in any reasonable environment. You
should also pay attention to such nor-
mal considerations as protection from
excessive dust and moisture.
• the unit has been exposed to rain;
• the unit shows signs of improper
operation; or
• the unit has been dropped or
damaged in any way.
The optimal performance of your new
GTP-602 will ultimately depend on the
care with which you make the connec-
tions between the amplifier, preampli-
fier and loudspeakers. All input and
output signal connections should be
made only with high quality, low-loss,
low capacitance cables. For recom-
mendations of the type and quality of
interconnections that are best for your
applications, consult with your ADCOM
retailer.

Like the front panel, the GTP-602’s
rear panel is carefully arranged to
make hookup, configuration, and use
as simple as possible. However, the
GTP-602’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 probably answer most
of your questions about interfacing
the GTP-602 with other components in
your system.
[ ] Antenna Connections
7
Experiment with placement of the
antenna to find the position that
gives the best signal strength and
lowest background noise. An inad-
equate FM signal normally results in
high levels of hiss, especially in ste-
reo, and interference from external
electrical sources. In areas of poor
FM reception, the tuner section’s per-
formance can be improved by using
an externally mounted FM antenna. A
qualified aerial installer will be able
to advise and fit a recommended aer-
ial for your reception conditions.
AM Antenna: An AM loop antenna is
supplied with the GTP-602 and is
required for AM reception. Open the
clip terminal lever and insert the
wire from the antenna. Closing the
lever will lock the wire in place. Test
various positions for the antenna, but
always ensure the loop is placed verti-
cally for best reception. Placing the
antenna close to large metal items
such as metal shelves or radiators may
interfere with reception.
NOTE: When reception is not satis-
factory using the supplied AM loop
antenna alone, connection of an
external antenna is recommended.
The antenna cable to the loop anten-
na must not exceed three meters.
Note that the GTP-602’s RCA-style
jacks have color-coded centers to
make connections easier. Use this key
to help route cables properly:

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,
Troubleshooting Tip
Your GTP-602’s circuitry is built around advanced microprocessors. The GTP-602 may exhibit
occasional anomalies arising from AC line surges, etc. If you experience unexpected behavior,
or if the GTP-602 “locks up” and does not respond to control input, reset it by turning the rear
panel power switch off. (Do not use the remote control’s “power” button). Wait 10 seconds and
then turn the GTP-602 on using the rear panel power switch.
