User manual HARMAN KARDON HK45 Product Brochure

[. . . ] On the top of this unit, do not place: ­ Burning objects (i. e. candles), as they may cause fire, damage to this unit, and/or personal injury. ­ Containers with liquid in them, as they may fall and liquid may cause electrical shock to the user and/or damage to this unit. Do not cover this unit with a newspaper, tablecloth, curtain, etc. [. . . ] The audio output of any electronics product with a line-level output, such as a TV set, satellite receiver or DVD, may be connected to the Video 2 and Video 3 Audio/Video inputs BD. NOTE: In order to view the video signals of any devices connected to the Video 1 7, Video 2 B or Video 3 D Video Inputs, you will need to connect the Video Monitor Output K jack to the composite video input of your TV or other video display device. Connect the outputs of a turntable with a moving magnet cartridge to the Phono inputs 5. To insure that the phono playback is noisefree, connect the ground wire from the tone-arm to the Phono Ground terminal 2. Assemble the AM Loop Antenna supplied with the unit as shown below. Connect it to the AM spring loaded terminals 1. Cable with 1. 5 mm2 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. 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. Connect an FM antenna to the FM Antenna connection 0. The FM antenna may be an external roof antenna, an inside powered or wire lead antenna or a connection from a cable system. Connect the main speakers to the Speaker 1 terminals G. 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 active Sub of a Sub/Sat-System) is used, connect the outputs of the mono Subwoofer Out jacks F to the line-level input of the subwoofer. If the subwoofer has no single line input, and if you cannot obtain sufficient woofer level using only one of the two inputs, use an optional Ysplitter to separate the sub mono signal from the receiver into two channels for the two inputs on the subwoofer. 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 (active or passive), connect the Speaker 1 terminals G to the Installation and Connections 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. If your subwoofer can be switched on and off with a trigger signal from the receiver, connect either of the two Trigger Out mini-jacks Q to the subwoofer's Trigger Input with a suitable cable, which usually comes with the subwoofer, or may be purchased separately. This means that the subwoofer (which is otherwise usually switched on and off automatically by an internal signal sensor) stays on as long as you listen to music or movie sound. Even if no deep bass is present in the signal for a while, the subwoofer does not go into standby mode when it is controlled by the trigger signal. Otherwise, when controlled by a bass signal sensor, you may not experience the first bass impulse when bass returns, after the subwoofer has gone into standby mode, because it has to switch on first. This means that you may have a Speaker system 1 and a Speaker system 2 in two different rooms, each with its own active subwoofer that switches on when you select Speakers 1 or Speakers 2. [. . . ] The unit's memory is stored in an EEPROM, and thus the HK 3490/HK45 will retain information such as programmed presets for a virtually infinite time without being connected to a main power source. Using (HK 3490 only) When Harman Kardon's (optional) is connected and a compatible Apple® iPod® is docked in The Bridge, press the DMP Selector Button C7 until "The Bridge" appears in the Display to choose the iPod as the input source, allowing playback of audio materials on your iPod through your high-quality audio system. Pressing the DMP Selector Button C will also activate the remote's control codes for the iPod. OPERATION 15 English Operation Using the Remote Control It is convenient to think of the functions of the remote control buttons in terms of "pages", where each source device (e. g. CD player) represents its own page of remote functions. The result is that some of the keys will perform different functions depending upon which device page has been selected prior to pressing the key. [. . . ]
