Unpacking

The carton and shipping materials used to protect your new receiver during shipment were specially designed to cushion it from shock and vibration. We suggest that you save the carton and packing materials for use in shipping if you move, or should the unit ever need repair. To minimize the size of the carton in storage, you may wish to flatten it. This is done by carefully slitting the tape seams on the bottom and collapsing the carton down to a more two-dimensional appearance. Other cardboard inserts may be stored in the same manner. Packing materials that cannot be collapsed should be saved along with the carton in a plastic bag. If you do not wish to save the packaging materials, please note that the carton and other sections of the shipping protection are recyclable. Please respect the environment and discard those materials at a local recycling center. At this time you should remove the protective plastic film from the front-panel lens. Leaving the film in place will affect the performance of your remote control.

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS
System Installation After unpacking the unit, and placing it on a solid surface capable of supporting its weight, you will need to make the connections to your audio equipment. These steps need to be done only when the receiver is first installed, or when a change is made to the input source equipment. Audio Equipment Connections We recommend that you use high-quality interconnect cables when making connections to source equipment and recorders to preserve the quality of the signals. When making connections to audio source equipment or speakers it is always a good practice to unplug the unit from the AC wall outlet. This prevents any possibility of accidentally sending audio or transient signals to the speakers that may damage them. 1. Connect the analog output of a CD player to the CD Audio Inputs. NOTE: When the CD player has both fixed and variable audio outputs, it is best to use the fixed output unless you find that the input to the receiver is so low that the sound is noisy, or so high that the signal is distorted. 2. Connect the Play/Out jacks of a cassette deck, CDR, MD or other audio recorder to the Tape Monitor In Jacks. Connect the Record/In jacks on the recorder to the Tape Monitor Out Jacks on the HK 3380. When the tape deck connected to these jacks is a three-head unit or has off-head playback, it will be possible to monitor the output of the source being recorded. 3. Connect the audio and/or video outputs of a second audio recorder, VCR or other line-level audio device to the Video 1 Audio/Video Input Jacks. If a recorder is used, connect its Rec/In jacks to the matching outputs. 4. The audio and/or video outputs of any electronics product with a line-level output, such as a TV set, satellite receiver or DVD, may be connected to the Video 2 and Video 3 Audio/Video inputs. NOTE: In order to view the video signals of any devices connected to the Video 1 , Video 2 or Video 3 Video Inputs, you will need to connect the Video Monitor Output jack to the composite video input of your TV or other video display device. 5. Connect the outputs of a turntable with a moving magnet cartridge to the Phono Inputs. To insure that the phono playback is noise-free, connect the ground wire from the tone arm to the Phono Ground Terminal. 6. Assemble the AM Loop Antenna supplied with the unit as shown. Connect it to the AM Screw Terminals a. be referred to your installer or a licensed electrical contractor who is familiar with the NEC and/or the applicable local building codes in your area. When connecting wires to the speakers, be certain to observe proper polarity. Remember to connect the negative or black wire to the same terminal on the receiver and the speaker. Similarly, the positive or red wire should be connected to the like terminal on the HK 3380 and speaker. We also recommend that the length of cable used to connect speaker pairs be identical. For example, use the same length piece of cable to connect the Speaker 1 left and right or Speaker 2 left and right speakers, even if the speakers are a different distance from the HK 3380. NOTE: While most speaker manufacturers adhere to an industry convention of using black terminals for negative and red ones for positive, some manufacturers may vary from this configuration. To assure proper phase, and optimal performance, consult the identification plate on your speaker, or the speakers manual to verify polarity. If you do not know the polarity of your speaker, ask your dealer for advice before proceeding, or consult the speakers manufacturer. Connect the speakers using the following steps: 1. Connect the main speakers to the Speaker 1 Terminals. 2. You may connect a second set of speakers, or speakers that are in a second room location, to the Speaker 2 Terminals. 3. When an optional, powered subwoofer is used, connect the outputs of the left and right Subwoofer Out Jacks to the line-level inputs of the subwoofer. When the subwoofers amplifier has stereo inputs, run interconnects from both jacks. When the subwoofer has a mono input only, use the bottom output jack for the connection. If the subwoofer has only speaker-level inputs and outputs, connect the Speaker 1 Terminals to the speaker-level inputs on the subwoofer, and then connect the speaker-level outputs on the subwoofer to your main left and right speakers, following the instructions provided with the subwoofer. When a passive subwoofer is used, these connections will be made to the optional amplifier that powers the subwoofer.

The sleep time will be displayed in the Information Display and it will count down until the time has elapsed. When the programmed time has elapsed, the unit will automatically turn off. The Information Display will dim to one-half brightness when the Sleep function is programmed. To cancel the Sleep function, press the Sleep Button * until the Sleep Timer C numbers disappear and the Information Display shows the current source. Pressing any control button while the Sleep control is activated will momentarily return the Information Display to full brightness for increased legibility without interrupting the Sleep function.
You may begin a listening session by pressing the System Power Control 1 on the front panel or the Main Power On Button on the remote. The Power Indicator 2 will turn red, then blue. This will turn the unit on and return it to the input source that was last used. The unit may also be turned on from Standby by pressing any of the Source Selector buttons on the front panel 68)!#$ or remote. To turn the unit off at the end of a listening session, simply press the System Power Control 1 on the front panel or the Main Power Off Button on the remote. This places the unit in the Standby mode, and the Power Indicator 2 will turn amber to remind you that the unit is ready for operation when a power command is received from the remote. When the remote is used to turn the unit off it is actually placing the system in a Standby mode, as indicated by the amber color of the Power Indicator 2. To dim the brightness of the Information Display , press the Dimmer Button ^. The first press will dim the lights to half normal. The Power Indicator 2 will remain lit, but the light inside the Volume Control will go out. A second press will turn the display completely off, but the Power Indicator 2 will remain lit to remind you that the unit is on. Press the Dimmer Button ^ again to restore the display to normal brightness.

Tuner Operation

The HK 3380s tuner is capable of tuning AM, FM and FM Stereo broadcast stations. Stations may be tuned manually, or they may be stored as favorite station presets and recalled from a 30-position memory. Station Selection 1. Press the FM/AM Selector & to select the tuner as an input. 2. Press these buttons again at any time to switch between AM and FM. 3. To select stations, press the Tuning Button 9 to advance one frequency increment at a time, or press and hold it, and the tuner will search for the next highestor lowest-frequency station that has an acceptable signal. To tune to the next station, press and hold the button again. When the Tuned Indicator I lights, the station is properly tuned and should be heard with clarity. 4. Stations may also be tuned directly by pressing the Direct Button , and then pressing the Numeric Keys that correspond to the stations frequency. The desired station will automatically be tuned. NOTE: When the FM reception of a station is weak, audio quality will be increased by switching to Mono mode by pressing the FM Mode Button ( until the Stereo Indicator H goes out.

Memory Backup

This product is equipped with a non-volatile EEPROM (Electrically Erasable and Programmable Read-Only Memory) that preserves tuner presets and system configuration information without the unit being connected to a main power source for any prolonged period of time.

Processor Reset

In the rare case where the units operation or the displays seem abnormal, the cause may involve the erratic operation of the systems memory or microprocessor. To correct this problem, first unplug the unit from the AC wall outlet and wait at least thirty minutes. After the pause, reconnect the AC power cord and check the units operation. If the system still malfunctions, a system reset may clear the problem. If the system still does not respond, it may be necessary to perform a complete reset. To reset the system, first turn the HK 3380 off by pressing the System Power Control 1. Next, press and hold the front-panel Mute Button 4 for at least 4 seconds. The Main Information Display B will briefly show the word RESET, and then return to normal operation. When the system is reset in this fashion, all tuner presets will be lost and must be reentered. If the system is still operating incorrectly, there may have been an electronic discharge or severe AC line interference that has corrupted the memory or microprocessor. If these steps do not solve the problem, consult an authorized Harman Kardon service center.

Tape Recording

In normal operation, the audio source selected for listening through the HK 3380 is sent to the Tape Monitor Record Outputs and Video 1 Record Outputs. This means that any program you are listening to may be recorded simply by placing a machine connected to the outputs for Tape Monitor or Video 1 in the record mode. When a tape recorder with separate record and playback heads is used, you may monitor the output of the recording by selecting the T-Mon Input 8. The dot to the left of the Tape Monitor Input Indicator D will flash to remind you that you are listening to the record playback instead of the actual input source being recorded. Press it again to hear the input source. The Input Indicator D for the last-selected source input will remain lit, although the flashing dot next to the Tape Monitor Input Indicator D will reflect that you are hearing the signal the HK 3380 is receiving from the device connected to the Tape Monitor Inputs. Press the T-Mon Input Selector 8 again to hear the original input source rather than the recording. When you have selected the device connected to the Tape Monitor Inputs , if it is a three-head tape deck in recording mode, you will hear the recording as it is being made. However, if the device connected to the Tape

Using the Remote Control

It is convenient to think of the functions of the remote control buttons in terms of pages, where each source device (e.g., CD player) represents its own page of remote functions. The result is that some of the keys will perform different functions depending upon which device page has been selected prior to pressing the key. Device pages are selected by pressing the Source Selectors , which also changes the input source selection on the HK 3380.
