12 INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS
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 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, MD or other audio recorder to the
Tape Monitor In
Jacks
ª. Connect the Record/In jacks on the
recorder to the
Tape Monitor Out Jacks ‚ on the HK 3375.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 output of a second audio recorder, VCR or other line-level audio device to the
Tape 2
Play/In Jacks
. If a recorder is used, connect its Rec/In jacks to the matching outputs
¤.
4.The output of any electronics product with a line­level output, such as a TV set,satellite receiver or DVD,may be connected to the
Aux Jacks •.

6.Assemble the AM Loop Antenna supplied with the unit as shown. Connect it to the
AM Screw
Terminals
¡.
7. Connect an FM antenna to the
FM (75 ohm)
Connection
.The FM antenna may be an exter nal roof antenna, an inside powered or wire lead antenna or a connection from a cable TV system.If the antenna or connection uses 300-ohm twin-lead cable,you must use the 300-ohm-to-75-ohm adapter supplied with the unit to make the connection.
Speaker and Output Connections
To assure that all the audio signals are carried to your speakers without loss of clarity or resolution, we sug­gest that you use high-quality speaker cable.Many brands of cable are available,and the choice of cable may be influenced by the distance between your speakers and this receiver, the type of speakers you use,personal preferences and other factors.Your deal­er or installer is a valuable resource to consult in selecting the proper cable.
Regardless of the brand of cable selected, we recom­mend that you use a cable constructed of fine,multi­strand copper with a gauge of 14 or smaller. Remember that in specifying cable,the lower the number, the thicker the cable.
Cable with a gauge of 16 may be used for short runs of less than ten feet.We do not recommend that you use cables with an AWG equivalent of 18 or higher due to the power loss and degradation in performance that will occur.
Cables that are run inside walls should have the appropriate markings to indicate listing with UL, CSA or other appropriate testing agency standards. Questions about running cables inside walls should 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 ter minal on the receiver and the speaker. Similarly,the “positive”or “red” wire should be connected to the like terminal on the HK 3375 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 3375.
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 speaker’s manual to verify polarity.If you do not know the polarity of your speaker, ask your dealer for advice before proceeding, or consult the speaker’s 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 subwoofer’s 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.
INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS 13
INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS
System and Power Connections
The HK 3375 is designed for flexible use with external control components and power amplifiers.These con­nections are easy to make during an initial installation, or at a later date,should you choose to upgrade your system.
Remote Control Extension
If the receiver is placed behind a solid or smoked glass cabinet door, the obstruction may prevent the remote sensor from receiving commands.In this event, an optional remote sensor may be used. Connect the output of the remote sensor to the Remote IR In Jack ¢.
If other components are also prevented from receiving remote commands,only one sensor is needed. They may use this unit’s sensor or a remote eye by running a connection from the
Remote IR Out Jack ∞ to the Remote In jack on Harman Kardon or other com­patible equipment.
External Audio Power Amplifier Connections
If desired, an optional, external amplifier may be used in place of the HK 3375’s internal power amplifier.
To connect an exter nal power amplifier,first remove the
Pre-Main Jumper Pins that connect the
Preamp Out and Main In jacks on the rear
panel. Keep the jumpers in a safe place should they be needed at a later time.
Using high-quality audio interconnect cables,connect the
Preamp Out Jacks to the input jacks on your power amplifier. Make certain to match the right output to the right input and the left output to the left input.
When an external power amplifier is used, no special adjustments are required.All volume and other control adjustments are made using the standard front-panel or remote controls.
AC Power Connections
The Accessory Outlets · are switched outlets and receive power as long as the receiver is turned on. Power to these outlets is removed when the unit is in the Standby mode,or when the
Main Power Switch
1 is in the “OFF” position.
Speaker Placement
For optimal listening enjoyment,and for soundfield reproduction that best re-creates the original record­ing,it is good practice to place the speakers so that they form a triangle with the speakers at the front of the room, and the preferred listening spot at the third point of the triangle.The distance between each speaker and the listener should be identical.
For example,if the speakers are 10 feet from one another, each of the speakers should optimally be placed so that they are also 10 feet from the listener. It is also desirable to place speakers so that their tweeters,or high-frequency drivers are aimed at ear height when you are seated in the listening position.
A good starting point for speaker placement is to make the distance between the two speakers,and the distance between either speaker and the listener,identical.
To optimize the sound field, or to suit your listening room environment, you may find that some experi­mentation is required to find the correct location. Ideally,pans from left to right across the front of the room should sound smooth, and instruments should appear to be coming from the proper location to where they would be placed in an orchestra.
The placement of subwoofers should be done as sug­gested in the manufacturer’s instructions.In general, subwoofers often produce best results when they are placed in the corner of a room, along the same wall as the speakers,but optimal placement will vary widely depending on room size,the subwoofer type and the placement of rugs and furniture in a room. It may be helpful to temporarily position the subwoofer in the usual listening position, then walk around the room while program material is playing until the bass repro­duction sounds best to your ears.That location is likely to be the optimum position for the subwoofer.
Finally,when all connections are complete,plug the power cord into a nonswitched 120-volt AC wall outlet. You’re ready to enjoy the HK 3375!

IMPORTANT NOTE:Please make certain that you are aware of the copyright restrictions on any material you copy.
Memory Backup
This product is equipped with a memory backup sys­tem that preserves tuner presets and system configu­ration information if the unit is accidentally unplugged or subjected to a power outage.The unit’s memory is stored in an EEPROM, and thus the HK 3375 will retain information such as programmed presets without being connected to a main power source virtually indefinitely.
Processor Reset
In the rare case where the unit’s operation or the displays seem abnormal, the cause may involve the erratic operation of the system’s memory or micro­processor.
To correct this problem, first unplug the unit from the AC wall outlet and wait at least three minutes.After the pause,reconnect the AC power cord and check the unit’s 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 3375 off by pressing the
Main
Power Switch
1 and then releasing it so that it extends out beyond the front panel and the word “OFF” is visible in red lettering at the top of the switch.
Next, press and hold the
T-Monand CD Input
Selector Buttons
9#on the front panel ONLY.
While holding these buttons in, press the
Main Power
Switch
1 in until it latches so that the button is flush
with the front panel. The Information Display 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.
