Harman-Kardon HK 3485 Step Seven - Connect Optional External Equipment, Step Ten - Turn On the HK

INSTALLATION

connect the HK 3485’s Remote IR Output to the source device’s Remote IR Input, which will pass any applicable remote signals trans- mitted through the HK 3485 to the source device. This enables you to control your sources even when the HK 3485 itself is controlled via an external IR receiver.

To control more than one source device using the Remote IR Output, connect all sources in “daisy chain” fashion, with the HK 3485’s Remote IR Output connected to the first device’s Remote IR Input, that device’s Remote IR Output connected to the next device’s Remote IR Input, and so forth. See Figure 19.

Figure 19 – Remote IR Input and Output

NOTE: Not all remote-controllable devices are equipped with compatible IR inputs and outputs. Check with the manufacturer of the source device for more information on the type of IR signal expected. The HK 3485 will output a “stripped carrier” IR signal.

Step Seven – Connect Optional External Equipment

If you wish to use the HK 3485 with an external power amplifier, remove the jumpers connecting the Preamp Outputs and Main-Amp Inputs. Store the jumpers in a safe place in case they are needed in the future. Connect the left and right Preamp Outputs of the HK 3485 to the analog audio inputs on the external power amplifier. See Figure 20.

Figure 20 – Preamp Outputs and Main-Amp Inputs

You may adjust the Volume and Tone Controls using the HK 3485’s front panel or remote.

If you wish to connect an external processor, such as an equalizer, you may connect it to the Preamp Outputs and Main-Amp Inputs. Remove the jumpers and store them in a safe place. Connect the HK 3485’s Preamp Outputs to the processor’s analog audio inputs, and then con- nect the processor’s analog audio outputs to the Main-Amp Inputs on the HK 3485.

Alternatively, you may connect the external processor to the HK 3485’s Tape Monitor Loop. See Figure 14.

Step Eight – Plug In AC Power

Having made all of your wiring connections, it is now time to plug each component’s AC power cord into a working outlet.

You may plug two devices into the AC Switched Accessory Outlets on the rear of the HK 3485. See Figure 21. Make sure each device draws no more than 100 watts. The devices should have their mechanical or master power switches turned on, and they will power on any time the HK 3485 is turned on.

Step Nine – Insert Batteries in Remote

The HK 3485 remote control uses two AAA batteries, which are included.

To remove the battery cover located on the back of the remote, firmly press the ridged depression and slide the cover toward the bottom of the remote.

Insert the batteries as shown in the diagram, making sure to observe the correct polarity. See Figure 22.

When using the remote, remember to point the lens toward the front panel of the HK 3485. Make sure no objects, such as furniture, are blocking the remote’s path to the receiver. Bright lights, fluorescent lights and plasma video displays may interfere with the remote’s functioning. The remote has a range of about 20 feet, depending on the lighting conditions. It may be used at an angle of up to 30 degrees to either side of the HK 3485.

If the remote seems to operate intermittently, then make sure the batteries have been inserted correctly, or replace the batteries with fresh ones.

Step Ten – Turn On the HK 3485

The HK 3485 may be turned on from Standby mode by pressing the Power Switch on either the front panel or the remote. See Figures 23 and 24.
