Thank you for choosing this Harman Kardon® receiver!

In the years since Harman Kardon® engineers invented the high-fidelity receiver, we have taken to heart the philosophy of bringing the joy

of home entertainment to as many people as possible, all the while improving performance and adding features. The HK 3390 offers the best in traditional analog two-channel audio, including a 30-preset AM/FM tuner, an integrated phono preamplifier for enjoying your vinyl library and a tape monitor loop that lets you listen to your tape recordings as they’re being made when used with a three-head tape deck.

If high-performance audio reproduction weren’t enough, we’ve added composite video switching. Use the included audio/video cable to connect your iPod (not included) or other portable players to the HK 3390,

or just enjoy your favorite television programs in stereo without firing up your main home theater.
