Each precautionin thismanual shouldbe followed during servicing.
Components identified with the IEC symbol in the parts list are special significance to safety. When replacing a component identified with
, use only the replacement parts designated, or parts with the same ratings or resistance, wattage, or voltage that are designated in the
parts list in this manual. Leakage-current or resistance measurements must be made to determine that exposed parts are acceptably
insulated from the supply circuit before retuming the product to the customer.
Some semiconductor (solid state) devices can be damaged easily by static electricity. Such components commonly are called
Electrostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices. Examples of typical ES devices are integrated circuits and some field effect transistors and
semiconductor "chip" components.
The following techniques should be used to help reduce the incidence of component damage caused by static electricity.
1. Immediately before handling any semiconductor component or semiconductor-equipped assembly, drain off any electrostatic charge on
your body by touching a known earth ground. Alternatively, obtain and wear a commercially available discharging wrist strap device,
which should be removed for potential shock reasons prior to applying power to the unit under test.
2. After removing an electrical assembly equipped with ES devices, place the assembly on a conductive surface such as aluminum foil, to
prevent electrostatic charge build-up or exposure of the assembly.
3. Use only a grounded-tip soldering iron to solder or unsolder ES devices.
4. Use only an anti-static solder removal device. Some solder removal devices not classified as "anti-static" can generate electrical charges
sufficient to damage ES devices.
5. Do not use freon-propelled chemicals. These can generate electrical change sufficient to damage ES devices.
6. Do not remove a replacement ES device from its protective package until immediately before you are ready to install it. (Most replacement
ES devices are packaged with leads electrically shorted together by conductive foam, aluminum foil or comparable conductive material.)
7. Immediately before removing the protective material from the leads of a replacement ES device, touch the protective material to the
chassis or circuit assembly into which the device will be installed.
Be sure no power is applied to the chassis or circuit, and observe all other safety precautions.
8. Minimize bodily motions when handling unpackaged replacement ES devices. (Otherwise harmless motion such as the brushing together
or your clothes fabric or the lifting of your foot from a carpeted floor can generate static electricity sufficient to damage an ES devices.
CAUTION :
HK3480 harman/kardon
1. Inspect all lead dress to make certain that
leads are not pinched or that hardware is not
lodged between the chassis and other metal
parts in the unit.
2. Be sure that any protective devices such as
nonmetallic control knobs, insulating fish-
papers, cabinet backs, adjustment and
compartment covers or shields, isolation
resistor-capacity networks, mechanical
insulators, etc. Which were removed for the
servicing are properly re-installed.
Before returning the unit to the user, perform the following safety checks :
3. Be sure that no shock hazard exists ; check for leakage
current usingSimpson Model 229 Leakage Tester, standard
equipment item No. 21641, RCA Model WT540A or use
alternate method as follows : Plug the power cord directly
Into a 120 volt AC receptacle (do not use an Isolation
Transformer for this test). Using two clip leads, connect a
1500 ohms,10watt Resistor paralleledby a 0.15uFcapacitor,in series withall exposed metalcabinet parts anda known earthground, such
as a water pipe or conduit. Use a VTVM or VOM with 1000 ohms per volt, or higher sensitivity to measure the AC voltage drop across the
resistor. (See diagram) Move the resistor connection to each exposed metal part having a return path to the chassis (antenna, metal,
cabinet, screwheads, knobsand controlshafts, escutcheon, etc.) andmeasure theAC voltagedrop across the resistor. (Thistest shouldbe
performed withthe 0.35 volt RMS or more is excessiveand indicates apotential shock hazard which must be corrected beforereturning the
unit to the owner.

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 sour ce for any prol o ng ed p er i od o f ti m e.
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 3480 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 ret urn to normal operation. When the system is reset in this fashion, all tu ne r pre s et s 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 impor tant that the var ious screws do not get mixed up and inserted in other loc ations upon reassembly. Make
note or label eac h removed screw set; keep them apart from ot her screw sets.
1) Remove t he 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 t he (10) Ph illips screws holdin g 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.
