3. To select stations, press, and briefly hold, the
Tuning button 

)Ü and the tuner will search

for the next highest- or lowest-frequency sta-
tion that has an acceptable signal. To tune to
the next station, press the button again. Tap the
Tuning button 

)Ü to advance one frequen-

cy increment at a time, or press and hold it to
locate a specific station. When the TUNED indi-
cator lights, the station is properly tuned and
should be heard with clarity.

4. Stations may also be tuned directly by press-
ing the Direct button 

∆, and then pressing

the Numeric Keys

˚ that correspond to the

station’s frequency. The desired station will
automatically be tuned.

NOTE: When the FM reception of a station is
weak, audio quality will be increased by switch-
ing to Mono mode by pressing the FM Mode
button 

* ß until the STEREO indicator goes

out.

Preset Tuning
Up to 30 stations may be stored in the
HK 3470’s memory for easy recall using the
front panel controls or the remote. In order to
program preset stations into memory, you must
use the remote control.

To enter a station into the memory, first tune
the station using the steps outlined above.
Then:

1. Press the Memory button 

ø on the

remote. Note that the MEMO and PRESET
indicators will light and flash in the Main
Information Display.

2. Within five seconds, press the Numeric
Keys

˚ corresponding to the location where

you wish to store this station’s frequency.

3. Repeat the process after tuning any 
additional stations to be preset.

Auto Preset
• Preset stations may also be programmed
automatically for the entire FM band. To auto-
matically enter each station that may be tuned
with acceptable quality into the HK 3470’s pre-
set memories, first select the FM band. Next,
press and briefly hold the Auto Preset button
¬ until the MEMO and PRESET indicators
begin to flash, and the station frequency indica-
tion begins to increase. Release the button and
note that the tuner will search the entire FM
band, and stop briefly at each station that has
acceptable signal strength. The HK 3470 will
automatically assign a preset number to each

station, and then search for the next station.
The automatic scan process will stop when all
30 preset memory locations have been filled or
the entire FM band has been scanned three
times.

NOTE: Using the automatic tuning mode in
areas with more than 30 FM stations will com-
pletely fill the preset memories, and overwrite
any previously memorized presets for either AM
or FM stations.

TIP: The automatic scan process may enter sta-
tions that you do not wish to retain in the
memory, or it may enter a station on more than
one frequency if the signal is too strong. These
unwanted stations may be removed from the
memory using the Preset Clear function out-
lined below.

Recalling Preset Stations
• To manually select a station previously
entered in the preset memory, press the
Numeric Keys

˚ that correspond to the

desired station’s memory location.

• To manually tune through the list of stored
preset stations one by one

,

press the Preset

buttons 

% ∂ on the front panel or remote.

• To automatically scan through the stations
entered in the preset memory, press the Preset
Scan button 

@ œ on the front panel or

remote. The tuner will cycle through the list of
preset stations, stopping for five seconds at
each one. Press the button again to stop the
scan at your desired station.

Clearing Preset Stations
Unwanted preset stations may be erased from
the unit’s memory to make it easier to tune
only those stations you want.

To remove a preset station from the HK 3470’s
tuner memory, first tune to the station using
the Preset Scan button 

@ œ on the front

panel or remote, or by entering the preset num-
ber directly, using the Numeric Keys

˚.

When the preset station to be removed has
been tuned, first press the Memory button 

ø.

The MEMO and PRESET indicators in the Main
Information Display will flash, and the actual
preset number will disappear from the display.
Next, press the Clear button 

Ñ within five

seconds.

The preset station will be removed from the
memory, and the action will be confirmed by
the brief appearance of the word CLEAR and

the preset number location in the Main
Information Display. That memory location will
now be empty, and you may program a differ-
ent station to that location, or leave it empty.

In normal operation, the audio source selected
for listening through the HK 3470 is sent to the
Tape Mon 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.

When a tape recorder with separate record and
playback heads is used, you may monitor the
output 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 record-
ed.
