Introduction

Congratulations! With the purchase of the Harman Kardon HK 3380 you are about to begin many years of listening enjoyment.

While sophisticated systems are hard at work within the HK 3380 to make all of this happen, hookup and operation are simple. Color-keyed connections and a comprehensive remote control make the HK 3380 easy to use.

To obtain maximum enjoyment from your new receiver, we urge you to take a few minutes to read through this manual. This will ensure that connections to speakers, source playback units and other external devices are made properly. In addition, a few minutes spent learning the functions of the various controls will enable you to take advantage of all the power the HK 3380 is able to deliver.

If you have any questions about this product, its installation or operation, please contact your dealer. He is your best local source of information.

Description and Features

Harman Kardon’s HK 3380 is a full-featured Stereo receiver, with five inputs and an FM stereo/FM/AM tuner with RDS capabilities that provide for the utmost flexibility. A high-quality phono input is available so that you may continue to enjoy your existing record collection as well as the latest CD recordings.

The HK 3380’s powerful amplifier uses traditional Harman Kardon High-Current Design philosophies to meet the wide dynamic range of any program selection.

Harman Kardon invented the high-fidelity receiver more than fifty years ago. With state-of-the- art features and time-honored circuit designs, the HK 3380 is one of the finest receivers ever offered by Harman Kardon.

Important Information

Verify Line Voltage Before Use

Your HK 3380 has been designed for use with 220-240-volt AC current. Connection to a line voltage other than that for which it is intended can create a safety and fire hazard, and may damage the unit.

If you have any questions about the voltage requirements for your specific model, or about the line voltage in your area, contact your selling dealer before plugging the unit into a wall outlet.

Do Not Open the Cabinet

There are no user-serviceable components inside this product. Opening the cabinet may present a shock hazard, and any modification to the product will void your guarantee. If water or any metal object such as a paper clip, wire or staple accidentally falls inside the unit, disconnect it from the AC power source immediately, and consult an authorized service station.

Installation Location

To assure proper operation, and to avoid the potential for safety hazards, place the unit on a firm and level surface, that can support the weight of the product.

Make certain that proper space is provided both above and below the unit for ventilation. If this product will be installed in a cabinet or other enclosed area, make certain that there is sufficient air movement within the cabinet. Under some circumstances a fan may be required.

Do not place the unit directly on a carpeted surface.

Avoid installation in extremely hot or cold locations, or an area that is exposed to direct sunlight or heating equipment.

Avoid moist or humid locations.

Do not obstruct the ventilation slots on the top of the unit, or place objects directly over them.

Cleaning

When the unit gets dirty, wipe it with a clean, soft, dry cloth. If necessary, wipe it with a soft cloth dampened with mild soapy water, then a fresh cloth with clean water. Wipe dry immediately with a dry cloth. NEVER use benzene, aerosol cleaners, thinner, alcohol or any other volatile cleaning agent. Do not use abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the finish of metal parts. Avoid spraying insecticide near the unit.

Moving the Unit

Before moving the unit, be certain to disconnect any interconnection cords with other components, and make certain that you disconnect the unit from the AC outlet.

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.

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.

ÒVolume Control: Turn the knob clockwise to increase volume, counterclockwise to decrease the volume.

ÚVideo 3 Input Selector: Press this button to listen to and/or view the output of a device connected to the Video 3 Inputs 1on either the front or rear panel. If devices are connected to both the frontand rear-panel Video 3 Inputs 1, then the device connected to the rear-panel Video 3 Inputs will be selected first, as indicated by the dot to the left of the Video 3 Input Indicator ˆbeing steadily lit. To select the device connected to the front-panel Video 3 Inputs 1, press the Video 3 Input Selector Úagain so that the dot to the left of the Video 3 Input Indicator ˆ flashes. Each subsequent press of the Video 3 Input Selector Úwill toggle between the front and rear Video 3 Inputs 1.

ÛInformation Display: This display delivers messages and status indications to help you operate the receiver.

ÙSpeaker Selection Indicators: These indicators light as a green LED next to the designation for each speaker pair to show when they are active. Press the Speaker 1 6or

Speaker 2 7Selectors to activate either pair of speakers.

Both sets of speakers may be selected simultaneously as long as all speakers are norminally rated at an impedance of 8 ohms or greater. However, occasionally the actual impedance will vary, depending upon the program material. When the impedance drops too low, the HK 3380 will go into protect mode in order to prevent damage to the equipment. If this should occur frequently, be sure to select only one set of speakers at a time until you are able to obtain speakers with a higher nominal impedance.

ıRemote Sensor Window: The sensor behind this window receives infrared signals from the remote control. Aim the remote at this area and do not block or cover it unless an external remote sensor is installed.

ˆInput indicators: A blue LED will light in front of the input that is currently being used as the source for the AVR.
