What You Will Need

1) Decide which video format (composite or S-Video) you will use. After you've made that choice, follow
the instructions in the box titled Composite or S-Video in Section 1.2 to make sure your GTP-740 is
set properly.

2) Connect your monitor to the appropriate monitor output" on the GTP-740. Turn your monitor on,
verify that it is receiving a signal by pressing the remote controllers menu" button. Once you see the
on-screen menu's main screen. you're ready.

3) Make sure you have a sound level meter handy if you have access or wish to purchase one.

Although you can calibrate the GTP-740 surprisingly well using your ears alone.we
strongly suggest a sound level meter for greater accuracy. The Radio Shack meter
(catalog # 332050) is both Inexpensive and reasonably precise. Other sound level
meters offering improved accuracy and flexibility are available. In general. we find
meters with digital readouts less satisfactory for calibration work as the continuous
scale of an analog readout gives a more useful picture of sound level variations.

SETUP Screen (Main menu screen)

In composite video made, all menu screens will show white copy against a blue
background. The highlighted choice will show black letters agalnst a fight gray
rectangle.

you've selected S-Video made, all screens will show white copy against a dark
gray background. Highlighted choices show as black copy against a light gray
rectangle.

After youve connected your monitor to the GTP-740 and turned both units on. press the remote
controllers menu button once. The following screen will appear:
