The HK 3470 has been custom designed to provide all the excitement and power of rock, jazz and popular music, and every nuance of classical selections. [. . . ] Regardless of the brand of cable selected, we recommend that you use a cable constructed of fine, multistrand copper with an area of min. Cable with 1. 5 mm may be used for short runs of less than 3 meters. 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 Cables that are run inside walls should have the appropriate markings to indicate listing with the appropriate testing agency standards. 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. 12 INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS Installation and Connections System and Power Connections The HK 3470 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. In this event, an optional remote sensor may be used. Connect the output of the remote sensor to the Remote IR In jack 3. 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. External Audio Power Amplifier Connections If desired, an optional, external amplifier may be used in place of the HK 3470's internal power amplifier. To connect an external power amplifier, first remove the Pre-Out/Main-In Jumper Pins D that connect the Preamp Out E and Main In C jacks on the rear panel. Keep the jumpers in a safe place should they be needed at a later time. Using high-quality audio interconnect cables, connect the Preamp Out jacks E to the input jacks on your power amplifier. Make certain to match the right output to the right input and the left output to the left input. Note that when an external power amplifier is used, no special adjustments are required. All volume and other control adjustments are made using the standard front panel or remote controls. 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. AC Power Connections This unit is equipped with an accessory AC outlet. It may be used to power accessory devices, but it should not be used with high-current draw equipment such as power amplifiers. [. . . ] The Main Information Display will briefly show the word R E S ET, you can release the buttons pressed now, the unit will return to Standby mode. Note that 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. If these steps do not solve the problem, consult your dealer or an authorized Harman Kardon service center. OPERATION 19 Troubleshooting Guide This unit is designed for trouble-free operation.
