OPERATION
Preset Tuning
Up to 30 stations may be stored in the HK 3380’s
memory for easy recall using the front-panel controls or
the remote.
To enter a station into the memory, first tune the station
using the steps outlined above.Then:
1. Press the
Memory Button ø on the remote. The
Memory G and Preset F Indicators will light and
flash in the
Information Display Û.
2. Within five seconds, press the
Numeric Keys ˚
corresponding to the location where you wish to store
this station’s frequency. The preset number will appear in
the
Preset Number C display.
3. Repeat the process after tuning any additional stations
to be preset.
Auto Preset
• Preset stations may also be programmed automati-
cally for the FM band. To automatically enter each
station that may be tuned with acceptable quality into
the HK 3380’s preset memories, first select the FM
band. Next, press and briefly hold the
Auto Preset
Button
¬ until the Memory G and Preset F
Indicators begin to flash, and the station frequency
indication begins to increase. Release the button and
the tuner will search the entire FM band, and stop
briefly at each station that has acceptable signal
strength. The HK 3380 will automatically assign a
preset number to each station, and then search for
the next station. The automatic scan process will stop
when all 30 preset memory locations have been filled
or the entire FM band has been scanned three times.
NOTE: Using the automatic tuning mode in areas with
more than 30 FM stations will completely fill the preset
memories, and overwrite any previously memorized pre-
sets for either AM or FM stations.
TIP: The automatic scan process may enter stations that
you do not wish to retain in the memory, or it may enter
a station on more than one frequency if the signal is
too strong. These unwanted stations may be removed
from the memory using the Preset Clear function
outlined below.
Recalling Preset Stations
•To manually select a station previously entered in the
preset memory, press the
Numeric Keys ˚ that
correspond to the desired station’s preset memory
location.
•To manually tune through the list of stored preset sta-
tions one by one
, press the Preset ‹/› Buttons
%∂on the front panel or remote.
•To automatically scan through the stations entered in
the preset memory, press the
Preset Scan Button
@œ.The tuner will run through the list of preset
stations in the
Preset Number C display, stopping
for five seconds at each one. Press the button again
to stop the scan at your desired station.
Clearing Preset Stations
Unwanted preset stations may be erased from the unit’s
memory to make it easier to tune only those stations
you want.
To remove a preset station from the HK 3380’s tuner
memory, first tune to the station using the
Preset Scan
Button
@œ, or by entering the preset number
directly, using the
Numeric Keys ˚.
When the preset station to be removed has been tuned,
first press the
Memory Button ø. The Memory G
and PRESET F Indicators in the Information
Display
Û will flash, and the actual preset number will
disappear from the
Preset Number C display. Next,
press the
Clear Button ñ within five seconds.
The preset station will be removed from the memory,
and the action will be confirmed by the brief appearance
of the word
CLEAR and the preset number location
in the
Information Display Û.That memory location
will now be empty, and you may program a different
station to that location, or leave it empty.
Tape Recording
In normal operation, the audio source selected for listen-
ing through the HK 3380 is sent to the
Tape Monitor
Record Outputs
∞ and Video 1 Record Outputs
¶.This means that any program you are listening to
may be recorded simply by placing a machine connect-
ed to the outputs for
Tape Monitor ∞ or Video 1 ¶
in the record mode.
When a tape recorder with separate record and playback
heads is used, you may monitor the output of the
recording by selecting the
T-Mon Input 8ç. The dot
to the left of the
Tape Monitor Input Indicator D will
flash to remind you that you are listening to the record
playback instead of the actual input source being
recorded. Press it again to hear the input source.
The
Input Indicator D for the last-selected source
input will remain lit, although the flashing dot next to the
Tape Monitor Input Indicator D will reflect that you
are hearing the signal the HK 3380 is receiving from the
device connected to the
Tape Monitor Inputs ¢.
Press the
T-Mon Input Selector 8 again to hear the
original input source rather than the recording. When
you have selected the device connected to the
Tape
Monitor Inputs
¢, if it is a three-head tape deck in
recording mode, you will hear the recording as it is being
made. However, if the device connected to the
Tape
Monitor Inputs
¢ is not capable of monitoring a
recording, you will not hear anything. If that device is
being used as a source rather than for recording, the
HK 3375 will play the source signal, and any other
source input that appears in the display will not be active.

Memory Backup
This product is equipped with a non-volatile EEPROM
(Electrically Erasable and Programmable Read-Only
Memory) that preserves tuner presets and system con-
figuration information without the unit being connected to
a main power source for any prolonged period of time.
Processor Reset
In the rare case where the unit’s operation or the displays
seem abnormal, the cause may involve the erratic oper-
ation of the system’s memory or microprocessor.
To correct this problem,first unplug the unit from the
AC wall outlet and wait at least thirty 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.
If the system still does not respond, it may be necessary
to perform a complete reset. To reset the system, first
turn the HK 3380 off by pressing the
System Power
Control
1.
Next, press and hold the front-panel
Mute Button 4
for at least 4 seconds.
The
Main Information Display B will briefly show the
word
RESET, and then return to normal operation.
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 interfer-
ence that has corrupted the memory or microprocessor.
If these steps do not solve the problem, consult an
authorized Harman Kardon service center.
