Adcom GCA-510 - Unit Operation and Maintenance; AC Outlet Functions and Power On Procedure; Source Selection for Listening and Recording; Care and Cleaning Instructions

the switched outlet is controlled by the front panel Power switch while the unswitched outlet carries AC current whenever the
GCA-510 is plugged into a live AC outlet. The power ratings for fries© outlets are as follows: 500 VA (equivalent to 500 watts)
maximum for the switched outlet and 800 VA (or watts) maximum for the unswitched outlet.
The switched outlet can be used for any system component that should be turned on or off when the GCA~510 is powered.
Tuners and CD players are the most likely candidates. The unswitched outlet is recommended for mechanical devices such as
a cassette deck where premature AC power interruptbn can result in damage to the drive assembly or for other source
components where a constant AC source is required to maintain internal settings.
9 ) After making sure that the “Level” control Ois turned completely down (counter-clockwise), plug the GCA-510 into an AC
outlet, preferably one that is NOT controlled by a wall switch or other device that may be turned off inadvertently. If you live in an
area supplied with 115 Volt AC, we strongly recommend use of ADCOM’s ACE-515 AC line enhancer and sequential switcher.
See your ADCOM dealer for details.
9) Use the “Power” switch Oto turn the GCA-510 on. The “Power Indicator LED” O will light.
10) Select a source for playback by rotating the “Listening” selector ©to the appropriate input position. You may select the same
source to record by rotating the “Recording” selector ©to the same input.
You can simultaneously select a totally different source for recording by simply selecting a different source with the “Record¬
ing” switch.
The GCA-510 will not allow a potentially destructive feedback condition even if you inadvertently set both the “Listening” and
“Recording” switches to the Tape position. In this case, the GCA-510 will automatically mute the recording output.
