SAFETY INFORMATION
4 SAFETY INFORMATION
Important Safety Information
Verify Line Voltage Before Use
YourHK 3380 has been designed for use with 120volt 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 Use Extension Cords
To avoid safety hazards, use only the power cord
attached to your unit.We do not recommend that
extension cords be used with this product.As with all
electrical devices,do not run power cords under rugs
or carpets or place heavy objects on them. Damaged
power cords should be replaced immediately with
cords meeting factory specifications.
Handle the AC Power Cord Gently
When disconnecting the power cord from an AC outlet, always pull the plug,never pull the cord. If you do
not intend to use the unit for any considerable length
of time,disconnect the plug from the AC 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.
CATV or Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to
this product, be certain that it is grounded so as to
provide some protection against voltage surges and
static charges.Section 810 of the National Electrical
Code,ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides infor mation
with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure,grounding of the lead-in wire to an
antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors,
location of antenna discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes and requirements of the grounding electrode.
NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER: This
reminder
is provided to call the CATV (Cable TV)
system
installer’s attention to article 820-40 of the NEC that
provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building,as
close to the point of cable entry as possible.
Installation Location
■ To ensure proper operation, and to avoid the
potential for safety hazards,place the unit on a firm
and level surface.When placing the unit on a shelf,
be certain that the shelf and any mounting hardware 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.
■ Due to the weight of the HK 3380 and the heat
generated by the amplifiers,there is the remote
possibility that the rubber padding on the bottom
of the unit’s feet may leave markings on certain
wood or veneer materials.Use caution when placing the unit on soft woods or other materials that
may be damaged by heat or heavy objects.
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.
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.

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 Audio Inputs £.
NOTE: When the CD player has both fixed and vari-
able 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 •ª.
NOTE: In order to view the video signals of any
devices connected to the
Video 1 §,Video 2 •
or Video 3 ª 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.
7. Connect an FM antenna to the
FM (75-ohm)
Connection
b.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 an optional 300-ohm-to-75-ohm adapter to
make the connection. Note that you will
not be able
to view any video signal using the
FM Antenna
Connection
b, even if you connect your cable
television system to it.
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 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 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 3380 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 3380’s internal power amplifier.
To connect an exter nal power amplifier,first remove
the 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.
If you wish to use external processing equipment,
such as an equalizer, you may connect the device
to the preamp-out and main-in jacks by removing
the jumper pins between the
Preamp Out ‚ and
Main In ⁄ jacks. Connect the Preamp Out ‚
jacks to the inputs of the external device,and the
outputs of the device to the
Main In ⁄ jacks.
Alternatively,you may connect the external device to
the Tape Monitor Loop.Connect the
Tape Monitor
Record/Out Jacks
∞ to the inputs of the external
device,and connect the outputs of the device to the
Tape Monitor Play/In Jacks ¢.
AC Power Connections
The Accessory Outlets fi 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.
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.You may
also prefer to “toe-in”the speakers slightly toward the
listening position, as shown in the diagram, for
improved imaging.
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.
