SAFETY INFORMATION 5
Installation Location
■ To assure proper operation and to avoid the
potential for safety hazards, place the unit on
a firm and level surface.When placing the
unit on a shelf, be certain that the shelf and
any mounting hardware can support the
weight of the product.
■ Make certain that proper space is provided
both above and below the unit for ventilation.
I
f this product will be installed in a cabinet or
other enclosed area, make certain that there
is sufficient air movement within the cabinet.
Under some circumstances a fan may be
required.
■ Do not place the unit directly on a carpeted
surface.
■ Avoid installation in extremely hot or cold
locations, or an area that is exposed to direct
sunlight or heating equipment.
■ Avoid moist or humid locations.
■ Do not obstruct the ventilation slots on the
top of the unit, or place objects directly over
them.
■ Due to the weight of theAVR and the heat
generated by the amplifiers, there is the remote
possibility that the rubber padding on the bot-
tom of the unit’s feet may leave marks on cer-
tain wood or veneer materials. Use caution
when placing the unit on soft woods or other
materials that may be damaged by heat or
heavy objects. Some surface finishes may be
particularly sensitive to absorbing such marks
due to a variety of factors beyond
Harman Kardon's control, including the nature
of the finish,cleaning materials used, and
normal heat and vibration caused by the use of
the product, or other factors.We recommend
that caution be exercised in choosing an
installation location for the component and in
normal maintenance practices,as your
warranty will not cover this type of damage to
furniture.
Cleaning
When the unit gets dirty, wipe it with a clean,
soft, dry cloth. If necessary, wipe it with a soft
cloth dampened with mild soapy water, then a
fresh cloth with clean water.
Wipe dry immediately with a dry cloth.NEVER
use benzene, aerosol cleaners, thinner, alcohol or
a
ny other volatile cleaning agent.Do not use
abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the finish
of metal parts.Avoid spraying insecticide near
the unit.
M
oving the Unit
Before moving the unit, be certain to disconnect
any interconnection cords with other compo-
nents, and make certain that you disconnect the
unit from the AC outlet.
Unpacking
The carton and shipping materials used to pro-
tect your new receiver during shipment were
specially designed to cushion it from shock and
vibration.We suggest that you save the carton
and packing materials for use in shipping if you
move, or should the unit ever need repair.
To minimize the size of the carton in storage,
you may wish to flatten it.This is done by care-
fully slitting the tape seams on the bottom and
collapsing the carton. Other cardboard inserts
may be stored in the same manner. Packing
materials that cannot be collapsed should be
saved along with the carton in a plastic bag.
If you do not wish to save the packaging
materials, please note that the carton and other
sections of the shipping protection are recycla-
ble. Please respect the environment and discard
those materials at a local recycling center.
It is important that you remove the protective plas-
tic film from the front-panel lens. Leaving the film
in place will affect the performance of your remote
control.
