Auto Preset (FM Only)

You may automatically program all FM radio stations in your area that
are received with acceptable signal strength into the HK 3490's presets.
Press and hold the Auto Preset Button until the Memory and Preset
Indicators flash in the front-panel display. The tuner will automatically
scan through the entire FM band, entering all stations with acceptable
signal strength into the presets until either all 30 presets have been
filled, or the tuner has scanned the band twice.
NOTE: If there are a large number of FM stations in your area,
Auto Preset will overwrite any presets you programmed previously.
Stations with exceptionally strong signals may be programmed
into more than one preset.
Using Docking Station
The Bridge II docking station is an optional unit that may be used with a
compatible iPod, iPod touch or iPhone (not included). When The Bridge II
docking station is connected to its proprietary input on the HK 3490
and the iPod is docked, you may play the audio materials on your iPod
through your high-quality audio system, operate the iPod using the HK 3490
remote or the HK 3490's front-panel controls, and charge the iPod.
Either press the front-panel Phono Selector repeatedly until the
DMP/THE BRIDGE IS CONNECTED message scrolls across the front
panel, or press The Bridge Button on the remote to select The Bridge II
docking station as the input source.

Recording

Two-channel analog audio signals, as well as composite video signals,
are normally available at the appropriate recording outputs. Thus, to
make a recording, you need only make sure to connect your audio
or video recorder to the appropriate output jacks, as described in the
Installation section, insert blank media and make sure the recorder is
turned on and recording while the source is playing.
You may monitor your recording if your recorder has separate record
and playback heads. Press the front-panel T-Mon Button to monitor the
recording using the playback head, indicated by the T-MON message
flashing. This will not affect the recording being made from the original
source. To hear the original source again, press the T-Mon Button again.
If your recorder does not have off-head playback, then you will not hear
anything when you press the T-Mon Button, unless the recorder is being
used for playback.
