Thank You for Choosing Harman Kardon

With the purchase of the Harman Kardon

®

HK 3380,

you are about to begin many years of listening enjoy-
ment. The HK 3380 has been custom-designed to
provide all the excitement and power of rock, jazz 
and popular music, and every nuance of classical
selections.

With composite video switching, the HK 3380 is 
more versatile than any stereo receiver ever offered 
by Harman Kardon. Connect a television, VCR, DVD
player or video-game console to any of the three rear-
panel 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 3380 to make all of this happen, hookup and
operation are simple. Color-keyed connections and a
comprehensive remote control make the HK 3380
easy to use.

To obtain maximum enjoyment from your new
receiver, we urge you to take a few minutes to read
through this manual. This will ensure that connections
to speakers, source playback units and other external
devices are made properly. In addition, a few minutes
spent learning the functions of the various controls will
enable you to take advantage of all the power the
HK 3380 is able to deliver.

If you have any questions about this product, its instal-
lation or operation, please contact your dealer, your
best local source of information.

Description and Features

The HK 3380 is a full-featured stereo receiver, with
