OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING
If an outside antenna is connected to your tuner or tuner/pre-
amplifier, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to pro-
vide 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 ground-
ing 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 elec-
trodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
As the plug is used as the disconnect device, the disconnect
device shall remain readily operable.
The power supply cord should be routed so that it is not likely
to be walked on or pinched, especially near the plug, conve-
nience receptacles, or where the cord exits from the unit.
Clean unit only as recommended in its instruction manual.
The power supply cord of the unit should be unplugged from
the wall outlet when it is to be unused for a long period of
time and during electrical storms.
Care should be taken so that objects do not fall, and liquids
are not spilled, into the enclosure through any openings.
This unit should be serviced by qualified service personnel
when:
•
•
a. Use No.10 AWG (5.3 mm2) copper, No.8 AWG (8.4 mm2) alumi-
num, 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.
c. Mount antenna discharge unit as close as possible to where
lead-in enters house.
d. Use jumper wire not smaller than No.6 AWG (13.3 mm2) cop-
per, or the equivalent, when a separate antenna grounding
electrode is used. See NEC Section 810-21 (j).
•
•
a. The power cord or the plug has been damaged; or
b. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled, into the
unit; or
c. The unit has been exposed to rain, or liquids of any kind;
or
d. The unit does not appear to operate normally, or exhibits
a marked change in performance; or
e. The device has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.
EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING AS PER NATIONAL ELEC-
TRICAL CODE INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED IN ARTICLE 810. RA-
DIO AND TELEVISION EQUIPMENT.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT
EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
CAUTION
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 PRE-
VENT BLADE EXPOSURE.
THERE ARE NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS IN THIS PRODUCT.
DO NOT ATTEMPT SERVICING OF THIS UNIT YOURSELF. REFER
SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
LASER SAFETY
This compact disc player is classified as a CLASS 1 LASER PROD-
UCT. Only qualified service personnel should remove the cover or
attempt to service this device due to possible eye injury. Invis-
ible laser radiation when open and interlock failed or defeated.
Avoid direct exposure to beam.
NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s at-
tention to Article 82022 of the National Electrical Code that pro-
vides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies
that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system
of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.
CAUTION POWER LINES
Any outdoor antenna must be located away from all power lines.

Notes:
•
Caution: Before you plug the power cord into an AC wall outlet, confirm that all connections to the
GDV-870 have been made correctly.
•
Warning: Never disconnect the power cord from the GDV-870 while the other end is plugged into an

Chapter 5 - Help
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 damages
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.
Customer Support
Use the Troubleshooting chart on page 32 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

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.
•
•
•
•
Telephone: (480) 607-2277
Fax: (480) 348-9876
Email: [email protected]
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 GDV-870 internal processor may
freeze or lock-up causing abnormal operation. This
is common to all micro-processor controlled devices
when the unit is subject to excessive static discharge,
AC line noise, or power spikes. In most cases it is
easy to solve this problem by simply turning off the
GDV-870 with the rear power switch for about five
minutes. After waiting, reconnect the power cord
and turn the unit on. If the unit functions normally,
no further action is needed.
Product Care & Maintenance
Before your Adcom DVD player left our factory, it
was carefully inspected 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.
If the unit still does not operate properly, it may be
necessary to manually reset the processor; see “Use
Default Settings” on page 24.
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.
After you have unpacked the GDV-870, 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.
