is intended to alert the user to the
presence of uninsulated “dangerous volt-
age”within the product’s enclosure that may be
of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of
electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equi-
lateral triangle is intended to alert the
user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing) instruc-
tions in the literature accompanying the product.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric
shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or
moisture.
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 prod-
uct will void your guarantee. If water or any
metal object such as a paper clip, wire or a
staple accidentally falls inside the unit, discon-
nect it from the AC power source immediately,
and consult an authorized service station.
CAUTION: The HD 990 uses a laser system. To
prevent direct exposure to the laser beam, do
not open the cabinet enclosure or defeat any of
the safety mechanisms provided for your protec-
tion. DO NOT STARE INTO THE LASER BEAM. To
ensure proper use of this prod uct, please read
this owner’s manual carefully and retain it for
future use. Should the unit require maintenance
or repair, please contact your local
Harman 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 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.
If this product will be installed in a cabinet or
other enclosed area, make certain that there is
sufficient 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.
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 immedi-
ately with a dry cloth. NEVER use benzene, thin-
ner, alcohol or any other volatile cleaning agent.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, as they may dam-
age the finish of metal parts. Avoid spraying
insecticide near the unit.
Moving 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 HD 990 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 col-
lapsing the carton down to a more two-dimen-
sional 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.
