Auto Preset (FM Only)

You may automatically program all FM radio stations in your area that are received with acceptable signal strength into the HK 3490’s presets. Press and hold the Auto Preset Button until the Memory and Preset Indicators flash in the front-panel display. The tuner will automatically scan through the entire FM band, entering all stations with acceptable signal strength into the presets until either all 30 presets have been filled, or the tuner has scanned the band twice.

NOTE: If there are a large number of FM stations in your area, Auto Preset will overwrite any presets you programmed previously. Stations with exceptionally strong signals may be programmed into more than one preset.

Using Docking Station

The Bridge II docking station is an optional unit that may be used with a compatible iPod, iPod touch or iPhone (not included). When The Bridge II docking station is connected to its proprietary input on the HK 3490 and the iPod is docked, you may play the audio materials on your iPod through your high-quality audio system, operate the iPod using the HK 3490 remote or the HK 3490’s front-panel controls, and charge the iPod.

Either press the front-panel Phono Selector repeatedly until the DMP/THE BRIDGE IS CONNECTED message scrolls across the front panel, or press The Bridge Button on the remote to select The Bridge II docking station as the input source.

In normal operation, information from the iPod will appear in the HK 3490’s Message Display. While a track is playing, its title will scroll once on the upper line, and the elapsed and remaining track times will appear on the lower line. While navigating the iPod, the menu title or current setting will appear on the upper line, and the current menu line or setting option will appear on the lower line.

Table 3 summarizes the controls available when The Bridge II unit is in use.

Recording

Two-channel analog audio signals, as well as composite video signals, are normally available at the appropriate recording outputs. Thus, to make a recording, you need only make sure to connect your audio or video recorder to the appropriate output jacks, as described in the Installation section, insert blank media and make sure the recorder is turned on and recording while the source is playing.

You may monitor your recording if your recorder has separate record and playback heads. Press the front-panel T-Mon Button to monitor the recording using the playback head, indicated by the T-MON message flashing. This will not affect the recording being made from the original source. To hear the original source again, press the T-Mon Button again.

If your recorder does not have off-head playback, then you will not hear anything when you press the T-Mon Button, unless the recorder is being used for playback.
