[. . . ] 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 £. Assemble the AM Loop Antenna supplied with the unit as shown below. Connect it to the AM Screw Terminals ¡. 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. 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 3475. 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, ask your dealer for advice before proceeding, or consult the speaker's manufacturer. Connect the speakers using the following steps: 1. 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 °. When an optional, powered subwoofer is used, connect the outputs of the left and right Subwoofer Out Jacks fl to the line-level inputs of the subwoofer. [. . . ] While holding these buttons in, press the Main Power Switch 1 in until it latches, so that the button is flush with the front panel. The Main Information Display Û 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 interference that has corrupted the memory or microprocessor. [. . . ]
