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 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 thirty 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. To reset the system, first turn the HK 3380 off by pressing the System Power
Control. Next, press and hold the front-panel Mute Button for at least 4 seconds. The Main 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.

harman/kardon Service Bulletin
Service bulletin # H/K2003-10 December 2003
To: All harman/kardon Service Centers
Models: AVR130, AVR230, AVR330, HK3380, HK3480
Subject: Volume Level Changes
On early versions of the AVR130,AVR230,AVR330,HK3380,HK3480, when the volume control is turned, the
volume level and display may be erratic, and not track accurately, or the level may progress in an unintended
direction. This may happen on a random basis and depends on where the volume control knob is positioned
after a volume adjustment. During a running production change, new volume encoders were installed.
In the event you receive an AVR model listed above with the complaint “The volume control on my
receiver does not track accurately when turned”, perform the following procedure:
REPLACE VR74 (AVR130/230/330) or VR81 (HK3380/3480) VOLUME ENCODER
Note: It is important that the various screws do not get mixed up and inserted in other locations upon reassembly. Make
note or label each removed screw set; keep them apart from other screw sets.
1) Remove the top cover, (13) Phillips screws.
2) Remove the volume, bass, treble and balance knobs by pulling them straight out and off. If a tool is
necessary for removal of the smaller knobs, make sure the jaws are insulated to avoid knob damage.
3) Remove the (10) Phillips screws holding the front panel ass’y to the chassis: (6) at the bottom and (4) at
the sides.
4) Cut all plastic cable ties that would prevent you detaching the front panel ass’y from the chassis. Draw a
diagram if necessary, for a location reminder, to aid reassembly.
5) Unplug connector CN15 (6 cond) or CN89 (7 cond) at the left side of the unit. See below.
6) Remove single ground screw at the left side of the unit, near CN15 or CN89. (Black wire)
7) Unplug connector CN72 (32 cond) or CN81 (20 cond) on the DSP PCB, coming from the top of the front
panel ass’y. See below.
8) There should now be enough slack in the connecting cables to lift and detach the front panel ass’y from
the chassis. Pull the front panel as far away as the remaining connecting wires will allow, enough to tilt
and gain access to the rear of the Tone/Volume PCB. See illustration Page 2.
9) Remove the (10) screws or (9) screws holding the Tone/Volume PCB to the front panel.
10) Detach and pull back the PCB; unplug top connector CN84 (7 cond) or CN83 (4 cond) if necessary.
11) Remove and replace VR74 or VR81 (5 soldered pads) with hk part# HSR2A029Z.
12) Reassemble in reverse order, taking care to replace all connectors, cable ties, and ground screw.
13) Power up receiver, and test volume control to assure setting no longer changes settings by itself, or when
the volume knob is tapped.
