Important Safety Information

Verify Line Voltage Before Use

Your HD 755 has been designed for use with
230-volt AC current. 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
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 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 HD 755 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 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 im-
mediately 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 compo-
nents, 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 755 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.
