...•...• GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS Always Use at 120V AC This unit is designed for operation with 120V AC. Use only domestic AC outlets. Never connect the unit to an outlet supplying a higher voltage. This may create a fire hazard. (For 230-240 Volt units only) This unit is supplied with a voltage selector enabling selection between 230V and 240V on the rear panel. If the selector is not set to the local voltage, set the selector to the correct voltage with a screwdriver before connecting the power cord to a mains outlet. AC Convenience Receptacles This unit is provided with three AC convenience receptacles on the rear panel for supplying power to a tuner, tape deck or other low power component. The SWITCHED receptacles have a combined power capacity of 180 Watts. The UNSWITCHED receptacle has a power capacity of 180 Watts. Check the component's owner's manual to find its power requirement. SWITCHED: The power to these receptacles is turned on and off by this unit's power switch. UNSWITCHED: The power to this receptacle is independent of this unit's power switch. Handle the Power Cord Gently Do not disconnect the plug from the AC outlet by pulling the cord; always pull the plug itself. Pulling the cord may damage it. If you do not intend to use your unit for any considerable length of time, disconnect the plug from the AC outlet. Do not place furniture or other heavy objects on the cord, and try to avoid dropping heavy objects upon it. Also do not make a knot in the power cord. Not only may the cord be damaged, it can also cause a short circuit with a consequent fire hazard. Place of Installation Place the unit on a firm and level surface. Avoid installing your unit under the following conditions: ■ Moist or humid places. ■ Places exposed to direct sunlight or close to heating equipment. ■ Extremely cold locations. ■ Places subject to excessive vibration or dust. ■ Poorly ventilated places. Do not obstruct the ventilation slots on the top surface of the unit by placing objects over them. Otherwise, the temperature inside the unit may rise, possibly affecting its longterm reliability. In Case of Moving the Unit Before moving the unit, be sure to pull out the power cord from the AC outlet and disconnect the interconnection cords with other units. Do Not Open the Cabinet To prevent shock hazard, do not tamper with internal components for inspection or maintenance. Harman Kardon does not guarantee against performance degradation resulting from any modification. If water, a hairpin or wire accidentally enters the unit, immediately extract the plug from the AC outlet to prevent shock and consult an authorized Harman Kardon service station. If you use the unit under this condition, it may cause a fire or shock hazard. Cleaning If the unit gets dirty, wipe it with a soft dry cloth. If necessary, wipe it with a soft cloth dampened with mild soapy water and then with a dry cloth. Never use benzene, thinner, alcohol or other volatile agent, and avoid spraying an insecticide near the unit.
