General Information Save allpacking material. It is essential for shipping should you move, or in the event the unit ever needs repair. Placement: Unit may be placed on top of or beneath other stereo components, so long as its placement meets the cooling requirements of the component beneath it. Connecting Antennas Select the FM antenna that best meets your needs. 1. An indoor dipole antenna is supplied with your receiver. This will work well if you are located in a strong signal area. 2. Other indoor antennas are available which may improve reception by offering greater positioning flexibility. 3. If reception is unsatisfactory using indoor antennas, an outdoor antenna should be installed. 4. Alternatively, you may connect to an FM cable antenna, if available. Connect the FM antenna. Depending on the type of antenna connector, attach your FM antenna to either the terminals marked "300i2 BAL" or "75S-2 LJNBAL" on the back of the receiver. Position the FM antenna for optimum reception. Reception from all of the above antennas (except the cable antenna) may be improved by re-positioning them. The Signal Strength Meter on your receiver usually indicates the reception quality. Try your antenna in different positions to find the one in which most of your desired broadcasts have high signal strength readings and good sound quality. Connect the AM Antenna. Your receiver comes with an AM loop antenna which provides good reception in most locations. For best results, place this antenna away from the unit and away from contact with any metal object. Alternatively, you may place the antenna in the holder provided on the back of the receiver. In areas where AM signals are weak, an outdoor AM antenna may improve sound quality. Connect the AM antenna leads to the screw-down terminals marked "AM" on the back of the receiver. Subwoofer Out Connect these jacks, if desired, to a powered subwoofer, or a power amplifier driving a subwoofer. This output may also be used for surround-sound equipment or any external component requiring a line level input. Wired Remote Control To control your receiver with an external infrared remote sensor, connect the wire from the remote sensor to the "Remote In" jack on the back panel. Or, if you have a stereo component with a built-in infrared remote sensor and a "Remote Output" jack, it may be possible to connect this jack to the "Remote In" jack of your receiver. All Harman Kardon products with "Remote In" and "Remote Out" jacks are compatible with one another, except for the Citation 22, 24 and 25. Other manufacturers' remote sensors may not be compatible, but it will not hurt to experiment. A second wire may be used to connect your receiver's "Remote Out" jack to the "Remote Input" of another stereo component. Continue this process to include additional components (if compatible). To control your receiver, you may use the remote control supplied with the HK3600. Or you may use a universal remote control unit, such as Harman Kardon's Masterworks which can also control other components, such as TVs, VCRs, tape decks and CD players. Masterworks is available from your Harman Kardon dealer. 4

Placement:
Unit
may
be
placed
on

components,
so
long
as
its
placement
meets
the
cooling
requirements
of
the

beneath
it.
Connecting
Antennas
Select
the
FM
antenna
that
best
meets
your
needs.
1.
An
indoor
dipole
antenna
is
supplied
with
your
receiver.
This
will
work
well
if
you
are
located
in
a
strong

3.
If

should
be
installed.
4.
Alternatively,
you
may

Depending
on
the
type
of

connec-
tor,
attach
your
FM
antenna
to
either
the
terminals
marked
"300i2
BAL"
or
"75S
-

LJNBAL"
on
the
back
of
the

reception.
Reception
from
all
of
the
above
antennas
(except
the
cable
antenna)
may
be
improved
by
re
-positioning
them.
The
Signal
Strength
Meter
on
your
receiver
usually
indicates
the
reception
quality.
Try
your

one
in
which
most
of
your
desired
broadcasts
have
high
signal
strength
readings

Connect
the
AM
Antenna.
Your
receiver
comes
with
an
AM
loop
antenna
which
provides
good
reception
in
most
locations.
For
best
results,
place
this
antenna
away
from
the
unit
and
away
from
contact
with
any
metal
object.
Alternatively,
you
may
place
the
antenna
in
the
holder
provided
on
the
back
of
the
receiver.
In
areas
where
AM
signals
are
weak,
an
outdoor
AM
antenna
may
improve
sound
quality.
Connect
the
AM
antenna
leads
to
the
screw
-down
terminals
marked
"AM"
on
the
back
of
the
receiver.
Subwoofer
Out
Connect
these
jacks,
if
desired,
to
a
powered
subwoofer,
or
a
power
amplifier
driving
a
subwoofer.
This
output
may
also
be
used
for
surround
-sound
equipment
or
any
external
component
requiring
a
line
level
input.
Wired
Remote
Control
To
control
your
receiver
with
an
external
infrared
remote
sensor,
connect
the
wire
from
the
remote
sensor
to
the
"Remote
In"
jack
on
the
back
panel.
Or,
if
you
have
a
stereo
component
with
a
built-in
infrared
remote
sensor
and
a
"Remote
Output"
jack,
it
may
be
possible
to
connect
this
jack
to
the
"Remote
In"
jack
of
your
receiver.
All
Harman
Kardon
products
with
"Remote
In"
and
"Remote
Out"
jacks
are
compatible
with
one
another,
except
for
the
Citation
22,
24
and
25.
Other
manufacturers'
remote
sensors
may
not
be
compatible,
but
it
will
not
hurt
to
experiment.
A
second
wire
may
be
used
to
connect
your
receiver's
"Remote
Out"
jack
to
the
"Remote
Input"
of
another
stereo
component.
Continue
this
process
to
include
additional
components
(if
compatible).
To
control
your
receiver,
you
may
use
the
remote
control
supplied
with
the
HK3600.
Or
you
may
use
a
universal
remote
control
unit,
such
as
Harman
Kardon's
Masterworks
which
can
also
control
other
components,
such
as
TVs,
VCRs,
tape
decks
and
CD
players.
Masterworks
is
available
from
your
Harman
Kardon
dealer.
