enclosure or defeat any of the safety
mechanisms provided for your protec-
tion. DO NOT STARE INTO THE LASER

Kardon Service Station. Refer servicing to
qualified personnel only.
Installation Location
■ To assure proper operation, and to
avoid the potential for safety hazards,
place the unit on a firm and level sur-
face. 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 pro-
vided 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 suffi-
cient air movement within the cabinet.
■ 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.
Important Safety Information
Verify Line Voltage Before Use
Your HD720 has been designed for use
with 120-volt AC current. Connection to
a line voltage other than that for which it
is intended can create a safety and fire
hazard, and may damage the unit.
If you have any questions about the
voltage requirements for your specific
model, or about the line voltage in your
area, contact your selling dealer before
plugging 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 depot with cords
meeting factory specifications.
Handle the AC Power Cord Gently
When disconnecting the power cord from
an AC outlet, 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 compo-
nents 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 a
staple accidentally falls inside the unit,
disconnect it from the AC power source
immediately, and consult an authorized
service station.
CAUTION:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE
COVER (OR BACK). NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER
SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
