SAFETY INFORMATION
Verify Line Voltage Before Use
Your DVD 37 has been designed for use with
1
10–240-volt AC current and the plug is specifically
designed for 120-volt applications. Connection to
a line voltage other than that for which it is intended
can create a safety and fire hazard and may damage
t
he unit.
If you have any questions about the voltage require-
ments for your specific model, or about the line volt-
age in your area, contact your selling dealer before
p
lugging the unit into a wall outlet.
Do Not Use Extension Cords
We do not recommend that extension cords be used
with this product. As with all electrical devices, do not
run power cords under rugs or carpets or place heavy
objects on them. Damaged power cords should be
replaced immediately by an authorized service center
with cords meeting factory specifications.
Handle the AC Power Cord Gently
When disconnecting the power cord from an AC out-
let, always pull the plug; never pull the cord. If you do
not intend to use the unit for any considerable length
of time, disconnect the plug from the AC outlet.
Do Not Open the Cabinet
There are no user-serviceable components inside this
product. Opening the cabinet may present a shock
hazard, and any modification to the product will void
your guarantee. If water or any metal object such as a
paper clip, wire or staple accidentally falls inside the
unit, disconnect it from the AC power source immedi-
ately
, and consult an authorized service center.
Installa
tion Location
■ To ensure 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 hard-
ware can support the weight of the product.
■ Make certain that proper space is provided both
above and below the unit for ventilation. If this
product will be installed in a cabinet or other
enclosed area, make certain that there is sufficient
air movement within the cabinet.
The unit should
be placed on its own shelf, not directly on top of
another component.
■ Do not place the unit on a carpeted surface.
■ Avoid moist or humid locations.
■ Avoid installation in extremely hot or cold locations,
or an area that is exposed to direct sunlight or
heating equipment.
■ Do not obstruct the ventilation slots on the top of
the unit, or place objects directly over them.
Some surface finishes may be particularly sensitive to
absorbing permanent marks from the rubber feet on
t
he bottom of your component. This may be 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
u
se of the product, or other factors. Although every
e
ffort has been made to select high-quality materials
for your component, we recommend that caution be
exercised in choosing an installation location for the
component and in normal maintenance practices,
a
s 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 immediately with a dry cloth. NEVER use
benzene, aerosol cleaners, thinner, alcohol or any
volatile cleaning agent. Do not use abrasive cleaners,
as they may damage the finish of metal parts. Avoid
spraying insecticide near the unit.
Unpacking
The carton and shipping materials used to protect 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 carefully slitting the
tape seams on the bottom, and collapsing the carton
down to a more two-dimensional appearance. 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 recyclable
.
Please respect the
environment and discard those materials at a local
recycling center.
Remove Front-Panel Protective Film
In order to protect the lens covering the front panel of
your new DVD 37, it is shipped from the factory cov-
ered by a protective plastic film.
Before using the unit,
remove this film by grabbing one corner and gently
peeling back the plastic sheet.
Note that the film must
be removed for proper operation of the remote control.
Moving the Unit
Before moving the unit,
be certain to disconnect any
interconnection cords with other components
,
and
make certain that you disconnect the unit from the
AC outlet.
IMPORTANT NOTE: To avoid damage to the DVD 37
that may not be covered by the warranty, be certain
that the disc is removed from the unit before it is
m
oved. Once the DVD 37 is installed, a disc may be
l
eft in the unit when it is turned off, but the unit should
NEVER be moved with a disc left in the disc tray.
