While sophisticated systems are hard at work within the HK 3370 to make all of this happen, hookup and operation are simple. [. . . ] 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 3370. NOTE: While most speaker manufacturers adhere to an industry convention of using black terminals for negative and red ones for positive, some manufacturers may vary from this configuration. To assure proper phase, and optimal performance, consult the identification plate on your speaker, or the speaker's manual to verify polarity. If you do not know the polarity of your speaker, assure that both speakers are connected with the same polarity, i. e. speaker wires or terminals with any marking should be connected to the red speaker terminals on the HK3370, the others to the black ones (see connections below). Connect a second set of speakers, or speakers that are in a second room location, to the Speaker 2 terminals H. When an optional, powered subwoofer (not the aktive Sub of a Sub/Sat-System) is used, connect the outputs of the left and right Subwoofer Out jacks F to the line-level inputs of the subwoofer. 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. When a separate passive subwoofer is used, these connections will be made to the optional amplifier that powers the subwoofer. If a Sub/Sat system is used (aktive or passive), connect the Speaker 1 terminals G 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. 7. The FM antenna may be an external roof antenna, an inside powered or wire lead antenna or a connection from a cable system. Note that if the antenna or connection uses 300-ohm twin-lead cable, you must use the 300-ohm-to-75-ohm adapter supplied with the unit to make the connection. If you wish to use external processing equipment, such as an equalizer, you may connect the device to the preamp-out and main-in jacks by removing the Preamp-Out/Main-In Jumper Pins D and connecting the Preamp Out E jacks to the inputs of the external device, and the outputs of the device to the Main In C jacks. Alternatively, you may connect the external device to the Tape Monitor Loop. Connect the Tape Monitor Record/Out jacks 9 to the inputs of the external device, and connect the outputs of the device to the Tape Monitor Play/In jacks 8. Speaker and Output Connections Regardless of the brand of cable selected, we recommend that you use a cable constructed of fine, multistrand copper with an area of min. We do not recommend that you use cables with an area of 0. 8 mm2 or smaller due to the power loss and degradation in performance that will occur. 2 Questions about running cables inside walls should be referred to an installer or a licensed electrical contractor who is familiar with applicable local building codes in your area. 10 INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS Installation and Connections System and Power Connections The HK 3370 is designed for flexible use with external control components and power amplifiers. These connections are easy to make during an initial installation, or at a later date should you choose to upgrade your system. Remote Control Extension If the receiver is placed behind a solid or smoked glass cabinet door, the obstruction may prevent the remote sensor from receiving commands. If other components are also prevented from receiving remote commands, only one sensor is needed. They may use this unit's sensor or a remote eye by running a connection from the Remote IR Out jack 4 to the Remote In jack on Harman Kardon or other compatible equipment. [. . . ] Moreover the source connected to Tape 2 Play A may be recorded to a recorder connected to Tape Mon 89, rather than turned around. When a tape recorder with separate record and playback heads is used, you may monitor the output of the recording by selecting the Tape Monitor Input Selector 9 ç. Note that the T-Mon Indicator will light in the Main Information Display Û to remind you that you are listening to the record playback instead of the actual input source being recorded. As long as Tape Monitor 9 ç is selected the previously selected input source remains routed to the Record Outputs 9 B. [. . . ]
