OPERATION
Preset Tuning Up to 30 stations may be stored in the HK 3380�s memory for easy recall using the front-panel controls or the remote. To enter a station into the memory, first tune the station using the steps outlined above. Then: 1. Press the Memory Button ø on the remote. The Memory G and Preset F Indicators will light and flash in the Information Display �. 2. Within five seconds, press the Numeric Keys � corresponding to the location where you wish to store this station�s frequency. The preset number will appear in the Preset Number C display. 3. Repeat the process after tuning any additional stations to be preset. Auto Preset � Preset stations may also be programmed automatically for the FM band. To automatically enter each station that may be tuned with acceptable quality into the HK 3380�s preset memories, first select the FM band. Next, press and briefly hold the Auto Preset Button ¬ until the Memory G and Preset F Indicators begin to flash, and the station frequency indication begins to increase. Release the button and the tuner will search the entire FM band, and stop briefly at each station that has acceptable signal strength. The HK 3380 will automatically assign a preset number to each station, and then search for the next station. The automatic scan process will stop when all 30 preset memory locations have been filled or the entire FM band has been scanned three times. NOTE: Using the automatic tuning mode in areas with more than 30 FM stations will completely fill the preset memories, and overwrite any previously memorized presets for either AM or FM stations. TIP: The automatic scan process may enter stations that you do not wish to retain in the memory, or it may enter a station on more than one frequency if the signal is too strong. These unwanted stations may be removed from the memory using the Preset Clear function outlined below. Recalling Preset Stations � To manually select a station previously entered in the preset memory, press the Numeric Keys � that correspond to the desired station�s preset memory location. � To manually tune through the list of stored preset stations one by one, press the Preset �/� Buttons % � on the front panel or remote. � To automatically scan through the stations entered in the preset memory, press the Preset Scan Button @ �. The tuner will run through the list of preset stations in the Preset Number C display, stopping for five seconds at each one. Press the button again to stop the scan at your desired station. Clearing Preset Stations Unwanted preset stations may be erased from the unit�s memory to make it easier to tune only those stations you want. To remove a preset station from the HK 3380�s tuner memory, first tune to the station using the Preset Scan Button @ �, or by entering the preset number directly, using the Numeric Keys �. When the preset station to be removed has been tuned, first press the Memory Button ø. The Memory G and PRESET F Indicators in the Information Display � will flash, and the actual preset number will disappear from the Preset Number C display. Next, press the Clear Button ñ within five seconds. The preset station will be removed from the memory, and the action will be confirmed by the brief appearance of the word CLEAR and the preset number location in the Information Display �. That memory location will now be empty, and you may program a different station to that location, or leave it empty. Monitor Inputs ¢ is not capable of monitoring a recording, you will not hear anything. If that device is being used as a source rather than for recording, the HK 3375 will play the source signal, and any other source input that appears in the display will not be active.

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. If the system still does not respond, it may be necessary to perform a complete reset. To reset the system, first turn the HK 3380 off by pressing the System Power Control 1. Next, press and hold the front-panel Mute Button 4 for at least 4 seconds. The Main Information Display B 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.
Tape Recording
In normal operation, the audio source selected for listening through the HK 3380 is sent to the Tape Monitor Record Outputs � and Video 1 Record Outputs ¶. This means that any program you are listening to may be recorded simply by placing a machine connected to the outputs for Tape Monitor � or Video 1 ¶ in the record mode. When a tape recorder with separate record and playback heads is used, you may monitor the output of the recording by selecting the T-Mon Input 8ç. The dot to the left of the Tape Monitor Input Indicator D will flash to remind you that you are listening to the record playback instead of the actual input source being recorded. Press it again to hear the input source. The Input Indicator D for the last-selected source input will remain lit, although the flashing dot next to the Tape Monitor Input Indicator D will reflect that you are hearing the signal the HK 3380 is receiving from the device connected to the Tape Monitor Inputs ¢. Press the T-Mon Input Selector 8 again to hear the original input source rather than the recording. When you have selected the device connected to the Tape Monitor Inputs ¢, if it is a three-head tape deck in recording mode, you will hear the recording as it is being made. However, if the device connected to the Tape
