Harman Kardon AVR 300 Receiver Logo
Anonymous Posted on Mar 14, 2010

Settings lost when powered off. My Harman Kardon AVR 300 forgets all its settings when powered off. All radio station settings are lost, but also the input selections eg. cd=optical 1 etcetc. I guess there is a battery/capacitor for the flash-ram which is faulty but i can't find it. Please help me out, thanks!

    Thank you for your reply!

    I've managed to find a Service Manual an 3370 which included Tech Tip TIP# HKTT2003-01 Rev5;
    Subject: Backup Memory on AVR/DPR/HK series receivers
    In the event of the complaint: ?the receiver is losing its memory (any programmed system settings)
    when the unit is turned off, or after the unit is unplugged (briefly*)?:
    Check and replace:
    AVR300 C906 Front PCB 0.1Farad 5.5v capacitor # J4433210421X
    or # P10791-ND
    Some models have a battery, some have a capacitor.
    The SM for the AVR300RDS does not include this TT but does include some other ones (DTS, Volume problems). The sm's are all online for free on the HK site, just not listed so finding them is pretty hard.
    I've ordered an 0.1F 5.5V Super Capacitor on eBay and hope to fix the problem with it.

    Here are the links to the Service Manuals:

Most of these HK receivers have a 3.6v rechargable battery on the front panel board. If the battery dies, you lose memory when it is turned off/unplugged/power failure. The battery is soldered on the board. Not replaceable by the user unless you are a tech. It should keep memory if left in standby.

How to reset the recever?

Place the receiver in Standby mode (press the front-panel Standby/On Switch so that the Power Indicator turns orange).
Then press and hold the front-panel OK Button on the Receiver ( not remote ) for at least five seconds until the RESET message appears in the display. Then press OK. The system will go to factory default. All your settings will be lost like FM stations / Sound settings etc: .
