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 and video

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 connec-

tions 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 pos-

sibility of accidentally sending audio or

transient signals to the speakers that may

damage them.

1. Connect the analog output of a CD

player to the CD 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 high that the

signal is distorted.

2. Connect the Play/Out jacks of a cas-

sette deck, 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 HK3270. When the tape deck con-

nected to these jacks is a three-head unit

or has off-head playback, it will be possi-

ble to monitor the output of the source

being recorded.

3. Connect the output of a second audio

recorder, 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 outputs ¤.

4. The output of any electronics product

with a line-level output, such as a TV set,

satellite receiver or DVD may be connected

to the Aux jacks •.

5. 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 £.

6. Assemble the AM Loop Antenna

supplied with the unit as shown below.

Connect it to the AM screw terminals ¡.

7. Connect an FM antenna to the

FM (75 ohm) connection ™. The

FM antenna may be an external roof

antenna, an inside powered or wire lead

antenna or a connection from a cable

TV system. Note that if the antenna or

connection uses 300-ohm twin-lead

cable, you must use the 300-ohm-to-

75-ohm adapter supplied with the unit

to make the connection.

Speaker and Output Connections

To assure that all the audio signals are

carried to your speakers without loss of

clarity or resolution, we suggest that you

use high-quality speaker cable. Many

brands of cable are available, and the

choice of cable may be influenced by the

distance between your speakers and this

receiver, the type of speakers you use,

personal preferences and other factors.

Your dealer or installer is a valuable

resource to consult in selecting the

proper cable.

Regardless of the brand of cable selected,

we recommend that you use a cable con-

structed of fine, multistrand copper with a

gauge of 14 or smaller. Remember that in

specifying cable, the lower the number,

the thicker the cable.

Cable with a gauge of 16 may be used for

short runs of less than ten feet. We do not

recommend that you use cables with an

AWG equivalent of 18 or higher due to

the power loss and degradation in

performance that will occur.

Cables that are run inside walls should

have the appropriate markings to indicate

listing with UL, CSA or other appropriate

testing agency standards. Questions about

running cables inside walls should be

referred to your installer or a licensed

electrical contractor who is familiar with

the NEC and/or the applicable local

building codes in your area.
