Operation
Basic Operation
The HK 3380 is simple to operate, and very simi- lar to stereo receivers you may have used in the past. This section will explain the use of several features that may be new to you.
•Install the two supplied AAA batteries in the remote as shown. Be certain to observe the (+) and
•When using the HK 3380 for the first time, the unit will be in a standby mode, as indicated by the amber color of the Power Indicator 3. Once the unit is in standby, you may begin a lis- tening session by pressing the System Power Control 2 on the front panel or the Main Power On button å on the remote. Note that the Power Indicator 3 will turn red, then blue. This will turn the unit on and return it to the input source that was last used. The unit may also be turned on from standby by pressing any of the Source Selector buttons on the front panel 89!#$&Ú or remote ç.
To turn the unit off at the end of a listening ses- sion simply press the System Power Control
2on the front panel or the Main Power Off button ∫ on the remote. This places the unit in the Standby mode, and the Power Indicator 3 will turn amber to remind you that the unit is ready for operation when a power command is received from the remote.Power to any equip- ment plugged into the rear panel Switched AC
Outlets will be shut off.
When the remote is used to turn the unit “off”, it is actually placing the system in a standby mode, as indicated by the amber color of the Power Indicator 3.
•To dim the brightness of the front panel dis- play, press the Dimmer button ˙ on the remote or on the front panel ^.
The first press will dim the lights to half normal. A second press will turn the display completely off. Press the Dimmer button ˙^ again to restore the display to normal brightness.
Source Selection
•To select a source at any time, press any of the Source Selector buttons on the remote ç or front panel 89!#$&Ú.
12OPERATION
•When a video source is selected, if you have connected a video device to the video input jack for that source, and if you have connected the
Video Monitor Output to the composite
video input of your TV or video display, you will be able to enjoy video programs from a broadcast, cable or satellite television system; a VCR or hard- disk video recorder; a DVD player; or any other video device with analog
NOTE: Although the HK 3380 is an audio/video receiver, it is not a surround sound receiver. Audio will be played in
•During a listening session you may wish to adjust the Bass Ó, Treble Ô and Balance
controls to suit your listening tastes.
•Adjust the volume to a comfortable level using the front panel Volume Control Ò or remote Master Volume Up/Down π buttons. The vol- ume level is displayed as a negative number of decibels (dB) in the Main Information Display
Û. The volume level is relative to a maximum volume level that has been assigned the value of 0dB. It is important that you make sure never to exceed this maximum volume level (0dB) at any time, in order to avoid possible damage to your loudspeakers due to “clipping”, a type of distor- tion that is not audible to the human ear until it is severe enough to permanently damage most loudspeakers. It is also possible, depending upon the program material, for clipping to occur at vol- umes below the maximum volume level.
•To temporarily silence all speaker outputs, press the Mute button ®5. This will cut the output to all Pre and Sub Outs and to all speakers, but it will not affect any recording or dubbing that may be in progress. When the system is muted, the MUTE indicator will light in the Main Infor- mation Display Û and the Volume/Mute indicator Ú will flash. Press the Mute button ®5 again to return to normal operation.
•For private listening, plug the 6,3 mm stereo phone plug from a pair of stereo headphones into the front panel Headphone jack 4.
•One or two separate sets of speakers may be connected to the HK 3380. To listen to one of the speaker sets, press the Speaker button 6 or 7 on the front panel corresponding to the desired speakers or press them both to listen to both
speakers pairs. The active speakers will be indicat- ed by a lit blue LED in the Speaker Indicators
Ùdisplay. Both sets of speakers may be turned off for private headphone listening.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When two speaker pairs are connected to the HK 3380 and are to be used simultanously, the impedance of each speaker must not be lower than 8 Ohms.
•To program the HK 3380 for automatic turn- off, press the Sleep button on the front panel ( or remote ©. Each press of the button will increase the time before shutdown in the follow- ing sequence:
