Bass Control:

Turn this control to modify

the low-frequency output of the left/right chan-
nels by as much as ±10dB. Set this control to a
suitable position for your taste and room
acoustics.

Treble Control:

Turn this control to modify

the high-frequency output of the left/right chan-
nels by as much as ±10dB. Set this control to a
suitable position for your taste and room
acoustics.

Balance Control:

Turn this control to

change the relative volume for the front
left/right channels.

Volume Control:

Turn the knob clockwise

to increase volume, counterclockwise to
decrease the volume.

Volume/Mute Indicator:

This indicator

will glow green when the HK 3370 is turned on.
Its position will enable you to judge the relative
volume of the unit even when the speakers are
muted or turned off. When the indicator is point-
ing towards the left, at an “8 o’clock” position,
the volume is low; when it is pointing to the
right, as in a “3 o’clock” position, the volume is
loud. When the unit has been muted, pressing
the

Mute

button

5®

, the indicator will flash.

Information Display:

This display delivers

messages and status indications to help you
operate the receiver.

Speaker Selection Indicators:

These indi-

cators light as a green LED next to the designa-
tion for each speaker pair to show when they
are active. Press the

Speaker 1

Speaker 2

Selectors to activate either pair

of speakers.
Both sets of speakers may be selected simul-
taneously as long as all speakers are norminally
rated at an impedance of 8 ohms or greater.
However, occasionally the actual impedance will
vary, depending upon the program material.
When the impedance drops too low, the HK
3370 will go into protect mode in order to pre-
vent damage to the equipment. If this should
occur frequently, be sure to select only one set of
speakers at a time until you are able to obtain
speakers with a higher nominal impedance.

Remote Sensor Window:

The sensor

behind this window receives infrared signals
from the remote control. Aim the remote at this
area and do not block or cover it unless an
external remote sensor is installed.
