User manual HARMAN KARDON HK 825

[. . . ] Connect a television, VCR, DVD player or video-game console to any of the three rearpanel inputs or to the front-panel input for high-quality stereo playback of video sources in any room where additional home theater speakers are not available. While sophisticated systems are hard at work within the HK 825 to make all of this happen, hookup and operation are simple. Color-keyed connections and a comprehensive remote control make the HK 825 easy to use. To obtain maximum enjoyment from your new receiver, we urge you to take a few minutes to read through this manual.

After a few seconds, the tuner will start to "look" for active stations, as shown by increasing frequency numbers in the Main Information Display B. Release the button and note that the tuner will briefly stop at each active station and add a preset number to the memory. If the FM tuner finds fewer than 30 FM stations with acceptable signal strength, the Auto Preset tuning will scan two more cycles or until the remaining vacant preset memory spaces have been filled with those found in the first scan. The scan will stop when all 30 preset memory spaces have been filled or when three scans through the band have been completed. µ Secondary Control Cover: This sliding cover normally is in the "up" position so that it hides the secondary controls.

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. Connect the analog output of a CD player to the CD Audio Inputs £. 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 ¢. Connect the Record/In jacks on the recorder to the Tape Monitor Out Jacks on the HK 825. 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 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 §. [. . . ] 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 interference that has corrupted the memory or microprocessor. [. . . ]
