You may search for a specific Program Type (PTY) by following these steps:
1.Press the RDS PTY button Ω and note that the Information Display will show SELECT PTY.
2.After three seconds, the display will show the PTY that was selected for the last PTY search. If you wish to use the same PTY, press the RDS PTY button Ω again within six seconds, and the tuner will begin to search for the first station with the appropriate PTY and acceptable signal strength.
3.To search for a different PTY, press the Tuning Up/Down buttons î† ) while the last PTY selected is still displayed to scroll through the list of available PTY types. To search for the next available station with any RDS data, select RDS ONLY as the PTY type.
4.When the PTY is selected, press the RDS PTY button Ω within six seconds, and note the PTY indicator will flash in the Information Display. The HK 3380 will go into an automatic search mode and attempt to find the next station with accept- able signal strength that matches the desired PTY type. Press the RDS PTY button Ω twice again to find another matching station. When a station is tuned, the search will stop, a message RDS will blink in the Information Display and then the Display will show the station’s “Call Letters” or other “Program Service” information.
5.While the PTY Indicator flashes in the display the tuner will make one complete scan of the entire FM band for the text station that matches the desired PTY type and has acceptable recep- tion quality. If no such station is found, the word NONE will appear briefly in the Information Display, and the tuner will return to the last FM station in use before the search.
To turn off the PTY Search at any time, press the RDS PTY button Ω again.
NOTE: Many stations do not transmit a specific PTY. The display will show NONE, when such a station is selected and PTY is active.
NOTE: Some stations transmit constant traffic information. To identify as traffic station, they transmit a specific traffic code constantly, which causes the TA Indicator to light in the display. These stations can be found by selecting TRAFFIC, the second option in the PTY list. The HK 3380 will find the appropriate station, even if it is not broadcasting traffic information when the search is made.
Tape Recording
In normal operation, the audio source selected for listening through the HK 3380 is sent to the
Tape Mon Rec Out | and Video 1 Record | |
Outputs | outputs. This means that any pro- | |
gram you are listening to may be recorded simply by placing machines connected to the outputs for
Tape Monitor or Video 1 in the record
mode. Moreover the source connected to Video
1 Input | may be recorded to a recorder con- | |
nected to Tape Mon | , rather than turned | |
around. |

When a tape recorder with separate record and playback heads is used, you may monitor the out- put of the recording by selecting the Tape Monitor Input Selector 9ç. Note that the TAPE M. Indicator will light in the Main
Information Display Û to remind you that you are listening to the record playback instead of the actual input source being recorded.
As long as Tape Monitor 9ç is selected the previously selected input source remains routed
to the Record Outputs . Press the Tape Monitor Input Selector 9ç again to turn the monitoring off and listen to the actual input source. Note that changing the Bass, Treble or Balance control will not affect the recordings, only the preamp and speaker outputs.
Memory Backup
This product is equipped with a memory backup system that preserves tuner presets if the unit is accidentally unplugged, turned off completely by disconnecting from the main power source or subjected to a power outage.
The unit’s memory is stored in an EEPROM, and thus the HK 3380 will retain information such as programmed presets for a virtually infinite time without being connected to a main power source.
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 three 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 Power 2, so the Power LED 3 lights amber, indicating standby.
Next, press and hold the MUTE Button 5 on the front panel ONLY.
The Main Information Display will briefly show the word RESET, you can release the button pressed now, the unit will return to Standby mode.
Note that 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 mem- ory or microprocessor.
If these steps do not solve the problem, consult your dealer or an authorized Harman Kardon service center.
