Harman/Kardon HK 3380 [12/20] Installation and connections

12 INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS

System Installation

After unpacking the unit, and placing it on a solid

surface capable of supporting its weight, you will need

to make the connections to your audio equipment.

These steps need to be done only when the receiver

is first installed, or when a change is made to the

input source equipment.

Audio Equipment Connections

We recommend that you use high-quality interconnect

cables when making connections to source equipment

and recorders to preserve the quality of the signals.

When making connections to audio source equipment

or speakers it is always a good practice to unplug the

unit from the AC wall outlet.This prevents any possibil-

ity of accidentally sending audio or transient signals to

the speakers that may damage them.

1. Connect the analog output of a CD player to the

CD Audio Inputs £.

NOTE: When the CD player has both fixed and vari-

able audio outputs, it is best to use the fixed output

unless you find that the input to the receiver is so low

that the sound is noisy, or so high that the signal is

distorted.

2. Connect the Play/Out jacks of a cassette deck,

CDR, MD or other audio recorder to the

Tape

Monitor In Jacks

¢. Connect the Record/In jacks

on the recorder to the

Tape Monitor Out Jacks ∞

on the HK 3380.When the tape deck connected to

these jacks is a three-head unit or has off-head play-

back, it will be possible to monitor the output of the

source being recorded.

3. Connect the audio and/or video outputs of a

second audio recorder,VCR or other line-level audio

device to the

Video 1 Audio/Video Input Jacks §.

If a recorder is used, connect its Rec/In jacks to the

matching outputs

¶.

4.The audio and/or video outputs of any electronics

product with a line-level output, such as a TV set,

satellite receiver or DVD, may be connected to the

Video 2 and Video 3 Audio/Video inputs •ª.

NOTE: In order to view the video signals of any

devices connected to the

Video 1 §,Video 2 •

or Video 3 ª Video Inputs, you will need to

connect the

Video Monitor Output · jack to

the composite video input of your TV or other video

display device.

5. Connect the outputs of a turntable with a moving

magnet cartridge to the

Phono Inputs ™.To insure

that the phono playback is noise-free, connect the

ground wire from the tone arm to the

Phono Ground

Terminal

¡.

6.Assemble the AM Loop Antenna supplied with

the unit as shown. Connect it to the

AM Screw

Terminals

7. Connect an FM antenna to the

FM (75-ohm)

Connection

b.The FM antenna may be an external

roof antenna, an inside powered or wire lead antenna

or a connection from a cable TV system. If the antenna

or connection uses 300-ohm twin-lead cable, you must

use an optional 300-ohm-to-75-ohm adapter to

make the connection. Note that you will

not be able

to view any video signal using the

FM Antenna

Connection

b, even if you connect your cable

television system to it.

Speaker and Output Connections

To assure that all the audio signals are carried to your

speakers without loss of clarity or resolution, we sug-

gest that you use high-quality speaker cable. Many

brands of cable are available, and the choice of cable

may be influenced by the distance between your

speakers and this receiver, the type of speakers you

use, personal preferences and other factors.Your dealer

or installer is a valuable resource to consult in selecting

the proper cable.

Regardless of the brand of cable selected, we recom-

mend that you use a cable constructed of fine, multi-

strand copper with a gauge of 14 or smaller.

Remember that in specifying cable, the lower the

number, the thicker the cable.

Cable with a gauge of 16 may be used for short runs

of less than ten feet.We do not recommend that you

use cables with an AWG equivalent of 18 or higher

due to the power loss and degradation in performance

that will occur.

Cables that are run inside walls should have the

appropriate markings to indicate listing with UL,

CSA or other appropriate testing agency standards.

Questions about running cables inside walls should

be referred to your installer or a licensed electrical

contractor who is familiar with the NEC and/or the

applicable local building codes in your area.

When connecting wires to the speakers, be certain to

observe proper polarity. Remember to connect the

“negative” or “black” wire to the same terminal on the

receiver and the speaker. Similarly, the “positive” or

“red” wire should be connected to the like terminal on

the HK 3380 and speaker.

We also recommend that the length of cable used

to connect speaker pairs be identical. For example,

use the same length piece of cable to connect the

Speaker 1 left and right or Speaker 2 left and right

speakers, even if the speakers are a different distance

from the HK 3380.

NOTE: While most speaker manufacturers adhere to

an industry convention of using black terminals for

negative and red ones for positive, some manufactur-

ers may vary from this configuration. To assure proper

phase, and optimal performance, consult the identifica-

tion plate on your speaker, or the speaker’s manual to

verify polarity. If you do not know the polarity of your

speaker, ask your dealer for advice before proceeding,

or consult the speaker’s manufacturer.

Connect the speakers using the following steps:

Connect the main speakers to the Speaker 1

Terminals ‹.

You may connect a second set of speakers, or

speakers

that are in a second room location, to the

Speaker 2 Terminals ›.

3.When an optional, powered subwoofer is used,

connect the outputs of the left and right

Subwoofer

Out Jacks

¤ to the line-level inputs of the sub-

woofer.When the subwoofer’s amplifier has stereo

inputs, run interconnects from both jacks.When the

subwoofer has a mono input only, use the bottom

output jack for the connection. If the subwoofer has

only speaker-level inputs and outputs, connect the

Speaker 1

Terminals ‹ to the speaker-level inputs

on the subwoofer, and then connect the speaker-level

outputs on the subwoofer to your main left and right

speakers, following the instructions provided with the

subwoofer.When a passive subwoofer is used, these

connections will be made to the optional amplifier that

powers the subwoofer.
