TAPE

RECORDER

This

recorder,

which

is

an

integral

part

of

your

music

system,

permits

you

to

playback

pre-recorded

tapes

and

to

record

from

records,

FM,

auxiliary

equip-

ment

or

microphones.

INSTALLATION

PROCEDURE

VENTILATION

The

ultimate

in

solid

state

technology

has

been

devoted

to

creating

your

Harman

Kardon

music

system.

Coupled

with

the

latest

in

transistor

engineering

techniques

are

years

of

experience

that

Harman

Kardon

maintains

as

the

leader

in

solid

state.

Careful

design

enables

the

all

transistor

Model

TDC33

Receiver/Tape

Deck,

to

operate

at

a

very

low

temperature.

To

maintain

proper

ventilation

only

(1)

one

inch

of

air

space

should

be

provided

from

the

rear

of

the

cabinet

to

the

wall

when

installing

your

system.

POWER

REQUIREMENTS

Connect

the

AC

line

cord

into

any

outlet

furnishing

117

volts,

50

or

60

cycle

AC

current.

The

voltage

may

vary

between

105

and

125

volts.

An

auxiliary

AC

power

outlet

is

provided

on

the

rear

panel

of

your

receiver.

Any

accessory

equip-

ment

(record

player,

AM

tuner,

TV

set,

etc.)

may

be

connected

to

this

receptacle

and

will

be

controlled

by

the

ON/OFF

switch

on

the

front

panel

of

your

receiver.

FUSES

Your

component

system

uses

three

fuses

to

protect

its

circuits.

The

main

fuse

labeled

FUSE

1.5A-3AG

is

used

to

protect

the

entire

system

while

the

other

two

fuses

labeled

LEFT

2A-3AG

and

RIGHT

2A-3AG

are

used

to

protect

the

output

power

transistors.

In

the

event

of

fuse

failure

replace

ONLY

with

the

same

type

used.

Replacing

with

a

fuse

of

a

higher

rating

will

not

protect

the

instrument

and

may

result

in

severe

damage.

SPEAKER

CONNECTIONS

We

have

provided

two

types

of

speaker

connections

—the

screw

type

and

the

phono

type

-for

your

convenience

in

connecting

any

model

speaker

to

your

TDC33.

If

your

speakers

have

screw

type

terminals,

use

the

screw

-type

terminal

strips

at

the

rear

of

your

unit

for

connecting

them

to

your

music

system.

If

you

have

HARMAN-KARDON

speakers,

simply

plug

them

into

the

R.

C.

A.

phono

plugs

located

on

the

rear

panel

of

your

unit.

A

speaker

cable

is

supplied

with

each

HARMAN-KARDON

speaker

with

a

phono

plug

connector

at

each

end

for

this

easy

plug-in

connection

to

your

unit.

(Please

refer

to

the

rear

panel

diagram

indicating

the

location

of

these

two

types

of

speaker

connections.)

SPEAKER

SYSTEM

SELECTOR

SWITCHES

Your

RECEIVER/TAPE

DECK

has

been

provided

with

2

independent

speaker

selector

switches.

If

your

receiver

is

connected

with

1

set

of

speakers

(1

system),

the

system

1

speaker

selector

switch

must

be

in

the

"on"

position.

If

you

have

2

sets

of

speakers

(2

systems),

the

system

1

and

system

2

speaker

selector

switches

must

both

be

in

the

"on"

position

for

both

systems

to

operate.

Should

you

desire

to

listen

to

stereo

-headphone

alone,

the

speakers

(either

one

or

both

systems

can

be

turned

off

at

your

discretion.)

CONNECTING

THE

SPEAKERS

FOR

STEREO

OPERATION

(1

SYSTEM)

Your

two

speakers

should

be

identical,

if

possible,

to

obtain

optimum

results.

Experts

agree

that

a

perfectly

matched

system

offers

the

best

stereophonic

repro-

duction.

The

speakers

should

be

placed

along

the

same

wall

approximately

8

to

10

feet

apart

depending

upon

room

size

and

furniture

placement.

It

may

be

necessary

to

experiment

with

speaker

placement

until

best

results

are

obtained.

Use

any

type

of

wire

to

connect

your

speakers

to

your

receivers.

Lamp

cord

"zip

cord"

is

excellent

and

may

be

easily

dressed

around

the

molding

for

an

inconspicuous

and

neat

installation.

Do

not

drive

the

staples

or

tacks

through

the

center

of

the

wire

for

this

may

short

out

the

two

sections

and

will

decrease

the

overall

volume

or

short

out

the

speakers

entirely.

It

is

permissible

to

use

approxi-

mately

50

feet

of

speaker

connecting

wire

for

each

speaker

without

loss

of

volume.

CONNECT

SPEAKERS

WITH

CARE.

HAS

BEEN

DESIGNED
