Harman Kardon HD7425 Owners Manual - Page 2

Basics Thank you for choosing a Harman Kardon compact disc player. This is a superb piece of high fidelity equipment that has been meticulously designed to provide you with thousands of hours of enjoyment. The HD7225 and HD7325 compact disc players use Harman Kardon's 3D Bit Stream technology for conversion of the digital signal to analog. The HD7425 uses Harman Kardon's exclusive RLS (Real-time Linear Smoothing) system. RLS results in improved imaging and a smoother, more natural sound from your compact discs. To appreciate the full performance of this sophisticated unit, please be sure to read this owner's manual and use your CD player only in accordance with its instructions. Keep the manual in a safe place for future reference. CAUTION RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK).

DANGER - invisible laser radiation when opened and interlock failed or defeated. Avoid direct exposure to the beam. CAUTION - use of all controls, adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure. CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT Placement This unit is fully shielded and may be placed on top of or under other stereo components as long as the "feet" provide sufficient clearance for cooling of the component below. Please make sure that the unit receives adequate ventilation. It should always be located away from heat sources such as radiators, fireplaces, stoves, and other appliances that produce heat. Avoid placing the unit in locations that receive prolonged direct sunlight or extremely low temperatures. While your compact disc player is designed to be vibration-resistant, excessive shocks or placement too close to large speakers can cause "stuttering" or skipping. When choosing a place for your new CD player, take the same precautions you would with a turntable. Care of the laser pickup The laser pickup that detects the music recorded on a CD is located under the compact disc drawer. The laser pickup, especially its precision lens, is particularly sensitive to dust. Keep the disc drawer closed when the unit is not in use, and do not put your hand inside the unit. Interference 'this compact disc player uses high-frequency signals that can sometimes interfere with reception in tuners and televisions. If you start to experience reception problems after connecting and turning on your CD player, move the CD player farther away from your tuner or television set or turn the CD player off when it is not in use. Always use the correct AC voltage Always connect the power cord to a domestic mains outlet. Never connect the unit to an outlet supplying a higher voltage. This may create a fire hazard.
