The HK 3390 remote is capable of controlling six devices, including the HK 3390 itself. The remote is preprogrammed at the factory to operate most Harman Kardon DVD, CD and CDR players. Each time you wish to use the codes for any component, first press its Selector Button. This changes the button functions to the appropriate codes.
Phono: Controls only the HK 3390 when a turntable is in use.
Video 1: Controls the Harman Kardon DMC 1000 digital media server.
Video 2 and 3: Controls DVD players. Each source uses a slightly different code set. Test the remote on your Harman Kardon DVD player, and refer to Table A3 in the appendix. Connect the DVD player to the source inputs corresponding to the code set that correctly operates the device.
Tape: Controls CD recorders.
CD: Controls CD players.
AM/FM: Controls the HK 3390 and its internal tuner only.
The functions specific to the HK 3390 are always available: Main Power On and Off, Speaker 1/2, source selection, Mute, Sleep, Dimmer and the Volume Controls.
Any given button may have different functions, depending on which component is being controlled. Some buttons are labeled with these functions. For example, the Track Skip Buttons are labeled with the transport control icons printed on the buttons themselves, and these functions are active when a CD or DVD player is in use. The Preset indications appear above these buttons, and those commands are active when the HK 3390’s tuner is in use. See the Appendix for listings of the different functions for each type of component.
IR Transmitter Lens: As buttons are pressed on the remote, infrared codes are emitted through this lens. Make sure it is pointing toward the component being operated.
Power Off Button: Press this button to turn off the HK 3390 or another device.
Power On Button: Press this button to turn on the HK 3390 or another device.
Speaker 1/2: Press the Speaker 1 Button to enable the HK 3390 to output audio to the speakers connected to the Speaker 1 Outputs, and press the Speaker 2 Button to enable the Speaker 2 Outputs. You may enable or disable both sets of speaker outputs simultaneously. This feature is a convenient way of hearing audio in more than one room at a time, although the same source material will be played through both sets of speakers.
Source Selectors: Press one of these buttons to select a source device, which is a component where a playback signal originates, e.g., DVD, CD or the tuner. This will also turn on the receiver and switch the remote to the codes that operate the source device.
NOTE: The Video 3 source device may be connected to either the front- or rear-panel connectors. To select the desired device,
press the Video 3 Source Selector repeatedly. The VIDEO 3 message indicates that the rear-panel inputs are active, and the VIDEO F message indicates the front-panel inputs have been selected.
FM Mode: This button toggles between Stereo and Mono modes when an FM station is tuned.
Auto Preset: The Auto Preset feature enables you to automatically set presets for all available FM radio stations in your area with a single button press. To start the process, make sure the FM tuner has been selected as the source. Press and hold this button. The AUTO PRESET message will appear as the HK 3390 tuner scans through all FM stations with acceptable signal quality and programs them into the presets. If there are fewer than 30 stations, the tuner will cycle through again, filling up the higher preset slots with the same stations. The scan will stop when all 30 presets have been filled, or after two scans through the FM band.
Numeric Keys: Use these buttons to enter radio station frequencies when using the tuner (after pressing the Direct Button), or to select station presets.
Direct: Press this button before using the Numeric Keys to directly enter a radio station frequency.
Clear: Press this button to clear a radio station frequency you have started to enter.
Memory: After you have tuned a particular radio station, press this button, then the Numeric Keys, to save that station as a radio preset.
Menu: This button has no effect on the HK 3390, but is used with some source devices to access the source’s setup menus.
Navigation (⁄/¤/‹ / › ) and OK Buttons: These buttons have no effect on the HK 3390, but are used to make selections within the on-screen menu system for some source devices. The OK Button transmits the Random Play command when used with CD players.
Preset Scan: Press this button once to scan through the stations you have previously programmed as presets. Each station will play for five seconds before the tuner skips to the next preset station. Press the button a second time to select the current station. If no presets have been programmed, the 0 PRESET message will be displayed.
Disc Menu: This button has no effect on the HK 3390, but is used with some DVD players to access the DVD disc’s menus.
Volume Controls: Use this control to raise or lower the volume, which will be shown in decibels (dB) in the Message Display.
Mute Button: Press this button to mute the HK 3390’s speaker and headphone outputs temporarily. To end the muting, press this button or adjust the volume. Muting is also canceled when the receiver is turned off. When the Subwoofer Trigger Output is connected to the correct input on the subwoofer, and the corresponding Subwoofer Link Switch is on, muting the HK 3390 will remove the trigger signal, turning off the subwoofer’s amplifier to conserve energy. When normal listening resumes, the trigger signal will be reactivated, turning on the subwoofer.
