Harman Kardon hk990Vxi - Page 15

After
checking
all
connections
one
final
time,
you’re
ready
to
turn
on
your
new
receiver
and
begin
enjoying
its
convenient
features
and
great
sonic
performance.
A
good
habit
to
get
into
is
to
FIRST
power
up
any
signal
sources
not
connected
to
the
receiver’s
switched
convenience
receptacle
(CD
player,
turntable,
tape
deck
etc).
Then
the
hk880Vxi/hk990Vxi
.
This
will
protect
your
speakers
and
ears
from
turn-on
thumps
(transients).
If
you
intend
to
power
up
the
receiver
by
remote
control,
you
must
press
in
the
POWER
button
on
the
front
panel.
When
the
unit
is
then
turned
OFF
via
remote
control,
the
STANDBY
light
will
light,
although
all
other
indicator
lights
will
go
off.
The
hk880Vxi/hk990Vxi
draws
minimal
current
in
this
standby
mode.
However,
you
should
turn
off
the
main
POWER
button
if
you
are
going
on
vacation
or
otherwise
not
using
your
stereo
system
for
long
periods
of
time.
After
turning
the
FUNCTION
selector
to
the
appropriate
input,
play
a
record
or
Compact
Disc
to
check
out
the
performance
of
your
new
receiver.
If
you
don’t
get
any
sound,
consult
APPENDIX
{I
—Troublesheoting.
Being
able
to
recall
your
favorite
stations
is
an
extremely
convenient
feature.
The
hk880Vxi/hk990Vxi
will
“remember”
the
last
station
preset
that
you
were
listening
to
and
tune
to
that
station
when
you
turn
the
receiver
back
on.
You
can
add
or
change
presets
any
time
you
want.
There
is
no
“right”
or
“wrong”
way
to
use
presets.
Some
people
only
set
a
couple
of
them.
Others
assign
a
station
to
every
one.
There
are,
however,
several
common
approaches
which
you
might
consider.
You
might
1)
rank
stations
in
order
of
how
often
you
listen
to
them,
assigning
Preset
1
to
your
most
listened-to
station;
or
2)
give
stations
preset
numbers
that
correspond
to
their
position
on
the
AM
or
FM
dial,
with
a
station
“low
on
the
dial”
occupying
a
low
preset
number,
etc.
To set a preset:
1. Switch the FUNCTION selector to TUNER.
2. Press the FM /AM selector to choose the
broadcast and preset “bank”.
3.
Tune
ina
station
you
wish
to
preset
using
the
TUNING
UP
&
DOWN
buttons
and
tuning
SEEK
selector.
4.
When
the
station
is
tuned
in
as
well
as
possible,
press
the
MEMORY
button.
5.
You
have
eight
seconds
in
which
to
press
a
preset
button.
Push
one
of
them.
The
appropriate
channel
(preset)
number
will
light
on
the
tuning
section
display.
If
you
had
previously
set
that
particular
preset
number
with
another
station,
the
old
preset
will
be
erased.
6.
Repeat
steps
2-5
for
any
other
FM
or
AM
presets
you
wish
to
add
at
this
time.
1.
Turn
on
the
source
component
and
then
the
hk880Vxi
