SAFETY INFORMATION
Important Safety Information
Verify Line Voltage Before Use
Your BDP 10 has been designed for use with 110–240-volt AC current, and the
plug is specifically designed for 230-volt applications. Connection to a line voltage
other than that for which the plug 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
To avoid safety hazards, use only the power cord supplied with your unit. 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 center with a cord 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
staple accidentally falls inside the unit, disconnect it from the AC power source
immediately, and consult an authorized service center.
Installation Location
• To ensure 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. Under
some circumstances, a fan may be required. The unit should be placed on its
own shelf, not directly on top of another component.
• Do not place the unit directly on a carpeted surface.
• Avoid installation in extremely hot or cold locations, or in an area that is exposed
to direct sunlight or heating equipment.
• Avoid moist or humid locations.
• Do not obstruct the ventilation slots on the unit, or place objects directly over
them.
• Due to the heat generated by operation of the BDP 10 and other
componentsin your system, there is the remote possibility that the rubber
padding on the bottom of the unit’s feet may leave marks on certain wood or
veneer materials. Use caution when placing the unit on soft woods or other
materials that may be damaged by heat or heavy objects. Some surface
finishes may be particularly sensitive to absorbing such marks, due to a variety
of factors beyond Harman Kardon’s control, including the nature of the finish,
cleaning materialsused, and normal heat and vibration caused by the use of
the product, or otherfactors. We recommend that caution be exercised in
choosing an installation location for the component and in normal maintenance
practices, as your warranty will not cover this type of damage to furniture.
Cleaning
When the unit gets dirty, wipe it with a clean, soft, dry cloth. If necessary, and only
after unplugging the AC power cord, wipe it with a soft cloth dampened with mild
soapy water, then a fresh cloth with clean water. Wipe it dry immediately 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 components, and make certain that you disconnect the unit from the AC
outlet.
NOTE: To avoid damage to the BDP 10 that may not be covered by the warranty,
remove the disc from the unit before it is moved. Once the BDP 10 is installed,
a disc may be left in the unit when it is turned off, but the unit should NEVER be
moved with a disc left in the disc tray.
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
guarantee 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 encouraged 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 equipment 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 harmful 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.
CAUTION: The BDP 10 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 protection. 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 center. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.
Unpacking
The carton and shipping materials used to protect your new player 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 carefully slitting the tape seams on the bottom and collapsing the carton. 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.
It is important that you remove the protective plastic film from the front-panel lens.
Leaving the film in place will affect the performance of your remote control.
