Introduction
Congratulations on your decision to purchase the GFP-815 stereo preamp­lifier. 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 GPF­to capture all the fidelity that high resolution audio has to offer, with precision broadband components and an ultra low noise floor. Equipped with a phono stage, this new ADCOM preamp hasn’t forgotten about your legacy components. Audition the GFP-
and CD / DVD player and rediscover the magic of two channel. To realize the full potential of your new stereo preamplifier, and before making any connections to it, please read these operating and installation instructions thoroughly.

Unpacking the GFP-815
Before your new ADCOM preamplifier left our factory, it was carefully in-
spected for physical imperfections 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 appearance and perfor­mance. After you have unpacked the GTP-815, inspect it for physical dam­age. Save the shipping carton and all packing material as they are intended to reduce the possibility of transpor-

Placing the GFP-815
Although the GFP-815 does not gen-
ensure the amplifier’s long-term, trouble-free operation to provide ad­equate ventilation for the unit. There­fore, the GFP-815 should be kept away from external sources of heat such as radiators and hot-air ducts.

All in output signal connections should be made only with high quality, low-loss, low capacitance cables. For recom­mendations of the type and quality of interconnections that are best for your applications, consult with your ADCOM retailer.
Safety Information
There are no user serviceable parts inside. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. 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 n
heat, or damaged in any way. Pay
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
stop using the component and have it inspected and/or serviced by a quali­fied service agency if:
. The power suppl damaged; . Objects have fallen on or liquid has been spilled into the unit; . The unit has been exposed to rain; . The unit shows signs of improper operation; or . The unit has been dropped or damaged

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 prob­lem, 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.
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 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 be a “hum.”
Hum 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 commonplace. Generally, the cause is the Cable­TV 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 troubleshoot a hum problem).
Note 1: Cable TV systems can sometimes contribute to ground loop problems which cause “hum.” To determine if your
Plug in AC Power Cord(s). Replace AC Fuse(s). Wait until unit cools down. It will reset. Reset power switch manually. Check connection of 12V DC trigger at source.
Make sure whole system is on. Verify all connections on rear of amp.
Verify both connections on that channel. Verify connection at speaker. Bring to Dealer or Service Center.
If Cable TV is present (see Note 1). If Ca­ble TV is not present (see Note 2).
Try different source (tuner, tape, etc.) and/or different RCA cable.
Make sure all appliances, dimmers and suspect lights are off.
Cable-TV incoming signal line (round, 75Ω) at the wall, 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 recon­necting 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.
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 suf­ficient 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.

GFP-815 Serial Port
Command Set
The Adcom GFP-815 can be controlled via the serial RS-232 port. The serial port can be connected to a sys­tem controller, PC or ‘dumb terminal’ via a straight-through standard 9-p and FEMALE on the other end). When using a PC, a terminal emulator program (e.g. HyperTerminal or Pro­Comm), can be used to control the GFP-815.
The communications parameters should be set as follows:
9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit and Flow Control: Hardware
