Important Safety Information
Verify Line Voltage Before Use
Your FL 8380 has been designed for use with 230-volt AC current. Connection to a line volt- age 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 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. Dam- aged power cords should be replaced immedi- ately 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 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 FL 8380 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 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 Kar- don 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, aerosol cleaners, 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 compo- nents, and make certain that you disconnect the unit from the AC outlet.
IMPORTANT NOTE: To avoid damage to the FL 8380 which may not be covered by the warran- ty, be certain that all discs are removed from the unit before it is moved. Once the FL 8380 is installed, discs may be left in the unit when it is turned off, but the unit should NEVER be moved with discs left in either deck.
Important Information for the User
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communica- tion. However, there is no guarantee that harm- ful interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harm- ful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equip- ment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
■Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
■Increase the distance between the equipment and receiver.
■Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiv- er is connected.
■Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Unpacking
The carton and shipping materials used to pro- tect your new CD changer 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. Pack- ing 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 materi- als, please note that the carton and other sec- tions of the shipping protection are recyclable. Please respect the environment and discard those materials at a local recycling center.
