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.
