Important Safety Information
Verify Line Voltage Before Use
Your HD 950 has been designed for use with
AC100-240V. 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 con-
siderable 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 a
staple accidentally falls inside the unit,
disconnect it from the AC power source
immediately, and consult an authorized service
station.
CAUTION: The HD 950 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
protection. DO NOT STARE INTO THE LASER
BEAM. To ensure proper use of this product,
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
immediately with a dry cloth. NEVER use
benzene, thinner, alcohol or any other volatile
cleaning agent. Do not use abrasive cleaners, as
they may damage 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
components, 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 950 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 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.
