INSTALLATION
Step Five – Connect the Video Display
Only video connections should be made between the receiver and
your video display (TV), unless your TV is the source for your television
programming (see note below Figure 18).
To view video or images played by your source devices, connect the
Video Monitor Output of the HK 3490 to a Composite Video Input on
your television or video display. See Figure 21. Consult the manual for
your TV so that you understand how to select the correct video input.
Figure 21 – Video Monitor Output
Step Six – Connect the Remote IR Input and
Output (Optional)
The HK 3490 is equipped with a Remote IR Input and a Remote IR
Output to facilitate use of your system with a remote control in a variety
of situations.
When the HK 3490 is placed in such a way that aiming the remote at
the front-panel IR sensor is difficult, such as inside a cabinet or facing
away from the listener, you may connect an external IR receiver, such
as the optional Harman Kardon HE 1000, to the Remote IR Input jack.
If any of your source devices are equipped with a compatible Remote IR
Input, use a 1/8" mini-plug interconnect cable (not included) to connect
the HK 3490’s Remote IR Output to the source device’s Remote IR
Input, which will pass any applicable remote signals transmitted through
the HK 3490 to the source device. This enables you to control your
sources even when the HK 3490 itself is controlled via an external
IR receiver.
To control more than one source device using the Remote IR Output,
connect all sources in “daisy chain” fashion, with the HK 3490’s Remote
IR Output connected to the first device’s Remote IR Input, that device’s
Remote IR Output connected to the next device’s Remote IR Input, and
so forth. See Figure 22.
Figure 22 – Remote IR Input and Output
NOTE: Not all remote-controllable devices are equipped with
compatible IR inputs and outputs. Check with the manufacturer
of the source device for more information on the type of IR
signal expected. The HK 3490 will output a “stripped carrier”
IR signal.
Step Seven – Connect Optional External
Equipment
If you wish to use the HK 3490 with an external power amplifier,
remove the jumpers connecting the Preamp Outputs and Main-Amp
Inputs. Store the jumpers in a safe place in case they are needed in the
future. Connect the left and right Preamp Outputs of the HK 3490 to
the analog audio inputs on the external power amplifier. See Figure 23.
Figure 23 – Preamp Outputs and Main-Amp Inputs
You may adjust the Volume and Tone Controls using the HK 3490’s
front panel or remote (volume only).
If you wish to install an external processor, such as an equalizer, connect
it to the Preamp Outputs and Main-Amp Inputs. Remove the jumpers
and store them in a safe place. Connect the HK 3490’s Preamp Outputs
to the processor’s analog audio inputs, and then connect the processor’s
analog audio outputs to the Main-Amp Inputs on the HK 3490.
Alternatively, you may connect the external processor to the HK 3490’s
Tape Monitor Loop. See Figure 16.
Step Eight – Plug In AC Power
Having made all of your wiring connections, it is now time to plug each
component’s AC power cord into a working outlet.
You may plug two devices into the AC Switched Accessory Outlets on
the rear of the HK 3490. See Figure 24. Make sure each device draws
no more than 100 watts. The devices should have their mechanical or
master power switches turned on, and they will power on any time the
HK 3490 is turned on.

Step Nine – Insert Batteries in Remote
The HK 3490 remote control uses four AAA batteries, which are included.
To remove the battery cover located on the back of the remote,
squeeze the tab and lift the cover.
Insert the batteries as shown in the diagram, making sure to observe
the correct polarity. See Figure 25.
