I have an old Adcom GTP-500 Tuner/Preamp that I dealry love. It still works great. My remote control died and I get a new one, JP-1 and programmed to run the ADcom. However, the motorized volume control does not work and I need to determine if the programming of the remote is faulty or if the volume control motor is bad. The volume control still works is i manually turn the knob.
Suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thank you! |

The new remote is not an Adcom product? |

You could try another remote, I presume the original worked shortly before expiring.
Names like 'all for one' and claims of running EVERYTHING are usually incorrect in practice.
There is ALWAYS something that doesn't work, in your case, it may be step 2.
Power on would be step one.
Look into the Harmony remote with constant reloads online to MAYBE run everything.(Eventually).
Except brand new stuff. |

Maybe, you tried fishing around here already?:

You might try sending out an SOS on some forums to find an owner of an Adcom GTP-500 and ask him if he would be kind enough to program a "Learning Remote" remote control for you off of his remote control; mail the remote to him, he can program it and send it back to you - offer to pay for the return mail and send him a picture of a Ferrari as a thank you.
Some people will go out of their way in a small way to help out; I'd do it but a'int got your remote.
It's worth a shot. |
