If you wish to make more than one copy, simply engage
record on both audio tape decks or VCR’s. The same signal
will be routed to each.
The effects of the MONO and SUBSONIC filter circuits are
not transferred to the recording outputs, even if they are
audible while monitoring the source.
3A.
. Select the “direction” of the copy using the RECORD OUT
(7). For example, if you have two VCR’s, load the tape to
be copied into VCR 1 and select VCR 1 TO 2 (hk990Vxi)
or 1 TO 2 (hk880Vxi).
. Press RECORD on the cassette deck or VCR connected to
the other hk880Vxi/hk990Vxi tape or video loop (In our
example above that would be VCR 2).
. To monitor the recording, set the VCR/TAPE MONITOR
knob so you can hear (and/or see) the signals from the
component making the copy.
To listen to another source (such as FM while you’re
making a CD-to-tape copy), return the VCR/TAPE
MONITOR (6) to SOURCE and select another input using
the FUNCTION switch (8).
To compare source to recording, simply alternate between
the source position and the appropriate position on the
VCR/Tape monitor knob.
When making copies of Dolby B or C-encoded audio
cassettes, activate the noise reduction circuits on both the
source and record decks. This will allow the encoded tape
to be decoded first, before being routed to the record deck
(where noise reduction will be re-encoded on the copy).
When the strength of the remote control’s batteries becomes
weakened, the operating range of the remote control is
shortened.
To change the batteries (or initially load the batteries provided
with your new receiver):
1. Slide the battery compartment cover on the back of
the remote in the direction of the embossed arrow and
remove it.
2. Insert two AA (1.5V/R6/UM3) cells according to the + and
- polarity symbols at the bottom of the battery well. Always
replace both batteries at the same time.
3. Replace the cover.
* Make sure that both the remote’s front infrared projection
“Jens” and REMOTE SENSOR on the hk880Vxi/
hk990Vxi front panel are kept free from dirt to insure
proper optical transmission and reception. .
¢ Do not use the remote control near fluorescent lamps which
may shorten the operating range of the remote.
* If you do not intend to use the remote regularly, but have
loaded it with batteries to experiment with it, remove them
to prevent damage from corrosion.
When cleaning your receiver, avoid direct use of dusting
sprays, abrasive cleaners or caustics (such as dilute ammonia
window cleaning solutions). Use only a mild soap and water
solution, applied to a soft cloth, rather than sprayed directly
onto the component.
Once again, thank you for choosing Harman Kardon. We wish
you many happy years of audio/video enjoyment.
