Disc-Handling Notes
When loading or unloading discs, it is
best to hold them by the edges.
While Compact Discs are very reliable,
rough handling may damage them. Avoid
scratching the bottom (non-printed) side
of discs, or any handling which will leave
fingerprints.
To avoid damage to the disc and player,
always seat discs so that they are centered
in the tray.
Do not lift the player while the disc tray
is opening or closing, as this may cause
the disc to unseat from the tray and
possibly jam.
Headphone Listening
You may listen to the output of the
HD720 through headphones by plugging
a set of standard headphones with a

the headphone output may be adjusted
with the Headphones Level knob

level will not change the volume for the
main audio output. This is a fixed out-
put, and it is changed using the volume
