Important Safety Information

Verify Line Voltage Before Use

Your CDR 2 has been designed for use with 120-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 sell- ing 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 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, dis- connect it from the AC power source immedi- ately, and consult an authorized service station.

CAUTION: The CDR 2 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 pro- tection. 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 mainte- nance 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 ventila- tion. 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.

■Do not obstruct the ventilation slots on the top of the unit, or place objects directly over them.

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 discon- nect any interconnection cords with other com- ponents, and make certain that you disconnect the unit from the AC outlet.

IMPORTANT NOTE: To avoid damage to the CDR 2 which may not be covered by the war- ranty, be certain that all discs are removed from the unit before it is moved. Once the CDR 2 is placed 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 has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. The limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. 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 communication. However, there is no guar-

antee that harmful interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encour- aged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

■Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

■Increase the separation between the equip- ment and receiver.

■Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

■Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harm- ful interference, and (2) this device must accept interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

NOTE: Changes or modifications may cause this unit to fail to comply with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and may void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Unpacking

The carton and shipping materials used to pro- tect your new receiver 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 mate- rials, 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.
