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.

3. To search for a different PTY, press the Tuning
Up/Down buttons î† ) 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 3370 RDS will go into an automatic search
mode and attempt to find the next station with

acceptable signal strength that matches the
desired PTY type. Press the RDS PTY button 
twice again 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 sta-
tion’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 3370 will find the appropriate station,
even if it is not broadcasting traffic information
when the search is made.

In normal operation, the audio source selected
for listening through the HK 3370 is sent to the
Tape Mon Rec Out

 and Tape 2 Rec Out

 outputs. This means that any program you are
listening to may be recorded simply by placing
machines connected to the outputs for Tape
Monitor

 or Tape 2  in the record mode.

Moreover the source connected to Tape 2 Play
 may be recorded to a recorder connected 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 9 ç. Note that the
T-Mon Indicator will light in the Main
Information Display Û to remind you that
you are listening to the record playback instead
of the actual input source being recorded.

As long as Tape Monitor 9 ç is selected the
previously selected input source remains routed
to the Record Outputs

 . Press the Tape

Monitor Input Selector 9 ç again to turn
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.

This product is equipped with a memory backup
system that preserves tuner presets if the unit is
accidentally unplugged, turned off completely
with the Main Power switch 1 or subjected
to a power outage.
The unit’s memory is stored in an EEPROM, and
thus the HK 3370 will retain information such as
programmed presets for a virtually infinite time
without being connected to a main power source.

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 min-
utes. 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 3370 off by
pressing the Main Power Switch 1 and then
releasing it so that it extends out beyond the
front panel and the word “OFF” is visible in red
at the top of the switch.

Next, press and hold the T-Mon and CD Input
Selector buttons 9# on the front panel
ONLY. While holding these buttons in, press the
Main Power Switch 1 in until it latches, so
that the button is flush with the front panel.

The Main Information Display will briefly show
the word R E S ET, you can release the buttons
pressed now, the unit will return to Standby
mode.

Note that when the system is reset in this fash-
ion, all tuner presets will be lost and must be
reentered.

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.
