You may search for a specific Program Type (PTY)
by following these steps:
1. Press the RDS PTY button and note that
the Information Display will show SELECT
PTY.
2. After three seconds, the display will show the
PTY that was selected for the last PTY search. If
you wish to use the same PTY, press the RDS
PTY button again within six seconds, and the
tuner will begin to search for the first station with
the appropriate PTY and acceptable signal
strength.
14 OPERATION
3. To search for a different PTY, press the Tuning
Up/Down buttons while the last PTY
selected is still displayed to scroll through the list
of available PTY types. To search for the next
available station with any RDS data, select RDS
ONLY as the PTY type.
4. When the PTY is selected, press the RDS PTY
button within six seconds, and note the PTY
indicator will flash in the Information Display. The
HK 3380 will go into an automatic search mode
and attempt to find the next station with accept-
able signal strength that matches the desired PTY
type. Press the RDS PTY button
to find another matching station. When a station
is tuned, the search will stop, a message RDS
will blink in the Information Display and then
the Display will show the station's "Call Letters"
or other "Program Service" information.
5. While the PTY Indicator flashes in the display
the tuner will make one complete scan of the
entire FM band for the text station that matches
the desired PTY type and has acceptable recep-
tion quality. If no such station is found, the word
NONE will appear briefly in the Information
Display, and the tuner will return to the last FM
station in use before the search.
To turn off the PTY Search at any time, press the
RDS PTY button again.
NOTE: Many stations do not transmit a specific
PTY. The display will show NONE, when such a
station is selected and PTY is active.
NOTE: Some stations transmit constant traffic
information. To identify as traffic station, they
transmit a specific traffic code constantly, which
causes the TA Indicator to light in the display.
These stations can be found by selecting
TRAFFIC, the second option in the PTY list.
The HK 3380 will find the appropriate station,
even if it is not broadcasting traffic information
when the search is made.

Tape Recording

In normal operation, the audio source selected
for listening through the HK 3380 is sent to the
Tape Mon Rec Out and Video 1 Record
Outputs outputs. This means that any pro-
gram you are listening to may be recorded simply
by placing machines connected to the outputs for
Tape Monitor or Video 1
mode. Moreover the source connected to Video
1 Input may be recorded to a recorder con-
nected to Tape Mon , rather than turned
around.
When a tape recorder with separate record and
playback heads is used, you may monitor the out-
put of the recording by selecting the Tape
Monitor Input Selector . Note that the
TAPE M. Indicator will light in the Main
Information Display
you are listening to the record playback instead
of the actual input source being recorded.
As long as Tape Monitor
previously selected input source remains routed
to the Record Outputs
Monitor Input Selector
the monitoring off and listen to the actual input
source. Note that changing the Bass, Treble or
Balance control will not affect the recordings,
only the preamp and speaker outputs.

Memory Backup

twice again
This product is equipped with a memory backup
system that preserves tuner presets if the unit is
accidentally unplugged, turned off completely by
disconnecting from the main power source or
subjected to a power outage.
The unit's memory is stored in an EEPROM, and
thus the HK 3380 will retain information such as
programmed presets for a virtually infinite time
without being connected to a main power source.

Processor Reset

In the rare case where the unit's operation or the
displays seem abnormal, the cause may involve
the erratic operation of the system's memory or
microprocessor.
To correct this problem, first unplug the unit from
the AC wall outlet and wait at least three
minutes. After the pause, reconnect the AC power
cord and check the unit's operation. If the system
still malfunctions, a system reset may clear the
problem.
To reset the system, first turn the HK 3380 off by
pressing Power
amber, indicating standby.
Next, press and hold the MUTE Button
the front panel ONLY.
The Main Information Display will briefly show
the word R E S ET, you can release the button
pressed now, the unit will return to Standby
mode.
Note that when the system is reset in this
fashion, all tuner presets will be lost and must be
reentered.
in the record If the system is still operating incorrectly, there
may have been an electronic discharge or severe
AC line interference that has corrupted the mem-
ory or microprocessor.
If these steps do not solve the problem, consult
your dealer or an authorized Harman Kardon
service center.
