The HK 3475 has been custom-designed to provide all the excitement and power of rock, jazz and popular music, and every nuance of classical selections. [. . . ] LED Indicator: This indicator will light or blink to confirm various steps in the learning process as the HK 3475 remote is programmed. It will also flicker when a key is pressed during normal operation to indicate that it is transmitting an infrared code. Dimmer Button: Press this button once to reduce the brightness of the Main Information Display Û to half the normal intensity. When the display is completely off, press the button to return to normal brightness. î Tuning: Press these buttons to tune up or down through a selected frequency band. A brief (1/2 second) press of the button will manually tune to the next frequency increment, while pressing and holding the button for a longer period will automatically tune to the next station with a signal strong enough for acceptable reception. REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS 11 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 possibility of accidentally sending audio or transient signals to the speakers that may damage them. NOTE: When the CD player has both fixed and variable 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. Connect the Play/Out jacks of a cassette deck, CDR, MD or other audio recorder to the Tape Monitor In Jacks ª. Connect the Record/In jacks on the recorder to the Tape Monitor Out Jacks , on the HK 3475. When the tape deck connected to these jacks is a three-head unit or has off-head playback, it will be possible to monitor the output of the source being recorded. Connect the output of a second audio recorder, CDR, VCR or other line-level audio device to the Tape 2 Play/In Jacks /. If a recorder is used, connect its Rec/In jacks to the matching Tape 2 Record Outputs ¤. The output of any electronics product with a linelevel output, such as a TV set, satellite receiver or DVD, may be connected to the Aux Jacks ·. 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 £. 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 terminals on the HK 3475 and speaker. We also recommend that the length of cable used to connect speaker pairs be identical. [. . . ] Step 4: The LED Indicator will remain on for five seconds, and then blink three times to indicate that it has reset all of the keys on the remote. The entire remote will now operate the factory default set of codes. 18 OPERATION OPERATION Memory Backup This product is equipped with a memory backup system that preserves tuner presets and system configuration information if the unit is accidentally unplugged or subjected to a power outage. The unit's memory is stored in an EEPROM, and thus the HK 3475 will retain information such as programmed presets without being connected to a main power source virtually indefinitely. To correct this problem, first unplug the unit from the AC wall outlet and wait at least three minutes. [. . . ]
