Using the Remote Control
When using the remote control, aim it towards the receiver’s front panel. Make sure
that no objects, such as furniture block the remote’s view of the system. Bright lights,
fluorescent lights, and plasma-video displays may interfere with the function of the
remote.
• The remote control has a range of about 20 feet (6.1 m), depending on the
lighting conditions.
• You can use the remote at an angle of up to 30° to either side of the
receiver.
If the remote seems to operate intermittently, or if pressing a button on the remote
does not cause the remote control backlights to light up, make sure that the batteries
are inserted correctly. If the remote still operates intermittently, replace the batteries
with the new ones.
Setting up the Network
To play MP3 or WMA media located on DLNA-compatible devices connected to the
network or use the stereo receiver’s internal Internet radio tuner, the stereo receiver
must be connected to your home network. If your network uses an automatic IP address,
you should not have to perform any network setup procedures. Once you connect
the stereo receiver to your home network, the network should automatically assign
an IP address to the stereo receiver, and the stereo receiver should be automatically
connected to your network.
If your stereo receiver does not automatically connect to your network, the stereo
receiver will display a Not Connected message when you press the Network source
button on the remote control.
1. Press the menu button, select network using the Up and Down buttons of
the navigation pad and press OK.
The Network menu will appear.
2. Select AUTO using the Left and Right navigation buttons of the
navigation pad and press OK.
3. Scroll down to the bottom and select Apply & Save.
The stereo receiver will attempt to connect to the network.
If the stereo receiver again fails to connect to the network, you may need to enter
your network’s settings manually. In this case, you may need to obtain your network’s
settings from your ISP or network administrator. After obtaining your network’s settings
1. Select IP Configuration and use the Left/Right buttons to change the
setting to Manual.
The settings such as IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway,
Primary DNS and Secondary DNS will be activated.
2. Use the Up/Down buttons to select the correct numbers
and make entries for all of these settings.
3. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and select Apply & Save.
4. Press OK.
The stereo receiver will refresh the network connection while it remains
ON. If the stereo receiver cannot connect to the network using the manual
settings, contact your ISP or network administrator for assistance.
IMPORTANT: You must select Apply & Save to activate your network settings.
NOTE: We recommend you to directly connect the stereo receiver to a
home-network router so that it can directly access the Internet for internet
radio, or access devices on the network for playback of content stored on
the devices.
NOTE: If you have trouble connecting to the network at any time, cycle the
stereo receiver into the Off mode, and then turn it back ON.
Operations
Turning the Stereo Receiver ON and OFF
After you plug the power cord into an AC outlet, the power indicator should light up
amber. This indicates that the HK 3700/3770 is in standby mode and is ready to be
turned ON.
The HK 3700/3770 may be turned on by pressing the Power button or any source
selector on the front panel of the receiver or the remote. The power indicator will turn
white to indicate that the HK 3700/3770 stereo receiver is ON. If the power LED flashes
amber, your stereo receiver is in protect mode. Unplug the receiver from AC power and
check all of your wires and connections. Make sure no speaker wires are shorting out
by touching each other, and that there are no breaks in the insulation covering any of
the speaker wires, interconnects or the power cord. If the power LED still flashes amber
when you plug in the HK 3700/3770 and try to turn it ON again, bring the receiver to an
authorized Harman Kardon service center for assistance. To turn the receiver OFF, press
the Power switch on the front panel, or press the Power OFF button on the remote.
When the HK 3700/3770 is left unplugged, any programmed settings, including system
configuration and preset radio stations will be preserved indefinitely.
Adjusting the Receiver’s Volume
The volume may be adjusted either by turning the knob on the front panel (clockwise
to increase volume or counterclockwise to decrease volume), or by pressing the Volume
Control buttons on the remote.
The volume is displayed as a negative number of decibels (dB) below the 0 dB reference
point. Unlike some volume controls on other products, 0 dB is the maximum volume for
the HK 3700/3770 receiver. Although it is physically possible to turn the volume to a
higher level, doing so may damage your hearing and your speakers.
For certain more-dynamic audio materials, even 0 dB may be too high and can damage
the equipment.
The HK 3700/3770 is designed to reproduce audio with a minimum amount of
distortion. This clarity may lead you to believe that your hearing and the equipment can
handle higher volumes. We urge caution with regard to volume levels.
Muting the Receiver
To temporarily mute all speakers and the headphones, press the Mute button on the
stereo receiver’s remote. Any recording in progress will not be affected. If the Subwoofer
Trigger Outputs are in use, muting will turn off the subwoofer’s amplifier to conserve
energy. The MUTE message will appear in the display as a reminder. To restore normal
audio, either press the Mute button again, or adjust the volume. Turning off the
HK 3700/3770 will also end mute effect on the receiver.
