VMAx Selector: Press this button to engage
VMAx processing of a stereo input. The VMAx Mode
Indicator will light, and you will notice a wider,
more spacious sound field. In order to obtain maxi-
mum benefit, you should be seated midway between
the two loudspeakers, and the same distance from
the speakers as the speakers are from each other.
The speakers must be placed facing parallel and
evenly with each other so that their baffles are in
the same plane. Press the button again to return
to Stereo mode.
FM/AM Selector: Press this button to select the
tuner as the input to the receiver. When the tuner is in
use, press this button to change between the AM and
FM frequency bands.
FM Mode Selector: Press this button to select
the Stereo or Mono mode for FM tuning. In the
STEREO mode, a Stereo indicator will light in the Main
Information Display , and stereo reception will be
provided when stations are transmitting stereo signals.
In the MONO mode, the left and right signals from
stereo broadcasts will be mixed together and repro-
duced through all channels. Select MONO for better
reception of weak signals. VMAx will have no effect in
MONO mode.
Sleep Button: Press this button to place the unit
in the Sleep mode. Each press of the button selects
the amount of time that will remain before the unit
automatically goes into the Standby mode, as shown in
the Main Information Display , in the following
order:

Bass Control: Turn this control to modify the low-
frequency output of the left and right channels 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 and right channels by
as much as ±10dB. Set this control to a suitable posi-
tion for your taste and room acoustics.
Balance Control: Turn this control to change the
relative volume for the left and 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 3475 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 pointing toward the left, as
in 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. We recommend that you do not
furn the Volume Control past the "12 o'clock" position,
at which point the audio signal will begin to distort.
Such distortion, although inaudible, is capable of dam-
aging your hearing and your equipment. When the unit
has been muted by pressing the Mute Button
the indicator will flash.
Main Information Display: This display delivers
messages and status indications to help you operate
the receiver.
Speaker Selection Indicators: These indicators
light as a green LED next to the designation for each
speaker pair to show when they are active. Press the
Speaker 1 or Speaker 2 selectors to acti-
vate either pair of speakers. Both sets of speakers
may be selected simultaneously as long as all speak-
ers have a nominal impedance of 8 ohms or greater.
However, occasionally the actual impedance will vary,
depending upon the program material. If the imped-
ance drops to a point where there may be potential
damage to the equipment, the HK 3475 will go into
protect mode.
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.
