Thank you for choosing a Harman Kardon compact disc player. This is a superb piece of high fidelity equipment that has been meticu- lously designed to provide you with thousands of hours of enjoyment.

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.

CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT

Product complies with DHHS rules

CFR subchapter J part 1040:10 at date of manufacture.

DANGER: Invisible laser radiation when opened and interlock failed or defeated.

Avoid direct exposure to the beam.

PLACEMENT

The HD710 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 compo- nent below. Please make sure that the HD710 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.

GENERAL CONNECTION HINTS

As you connect your compact disc player, carefully connect the plugs to the output jacks, being sure to push the plugs in all the way.

Loose connection of a plug can cause hum or other intermittent noise. Take care to match the left and right plugs on the CD player with the left and right input jacks on the back of the receiver/preamplifier/integrated amplifier.

Common practice is to use the red plug as right, and the white, gray, or black plug as left.

Do not wind the cables with the power cord; doing so may degrade the sound quality.

When you have finished connecting your HD710 to your receiver/preamplifier/integrated amplifier, plug the power cord of the CD player either into a power outlet on the back of another component, or into the power outlet in the wall.

POWER CORD PROTECTION

The power cord should be routed in such a way that it is not likely to be walked on or pinched by items laying on or against it. Any power cord is susceptible to stress at the point where it joins the plug and the point where it exits from the back of the unit, so take care not to fold or bend it excessively at those points.

Never pull or stretch the cord. The CD player???s power cord should be unplugged from the outlet when the unit is left unused for a long period of time.

CLEANING

Use only a clean dry cloth to clean your compact disc player. Do not use solvents such as alcohol, benzine, gasoline, etc. Take care that excessive dust does not accumulate on your unit, and that objects are not dropped inside or liquids spilled into the unit.

WATER AND MOISTURE

Do not operate this compact disc player around water (e.g., near a swimming pool, sink, or in a wet basement).

ABNORMAL SMELLS

If you detect an abnormal smell or smoke, immediately turn the compact disc player off and pull out the power cord. Contact your dealer or nearest Harman Kardon service center.

PACKING MATERIAL

Your box and packing material are custom designed to provide optimum protection for your compact disc player. Be sure to save the box and packing material in case you need to transport or ship the unit at some future time

(e.g., service or moving).

TO OBTAIN WARRANTY SERVICE

If you require warranty service, please return the product to your dealer. If this is not possible, please call 1-800-422-8027, for information on how to obtain service or replacement. If purchased outside the United

States, contact your local dealer for repair or replacement. Your bill of sale will be required to obtain warranty service and to establish date of purchase.

???Before you begin to connect this unit to your system, be sure that all components are turned off and unplugged from the electrical outlet.

???See the connection diagram in the operating instruction manual of a Harman/Kardon compatible amplifier or receiver.

1. CONNECTION CORDS

On the back of your HD710 are output jacks that connect your CD player to your receiver, integrated amplifier, or preampli- fier. Using the supplied shielded cords, connect the left and right output jacks on the back of the CD player to the left and right input jacks marked CD or AUX on the back of your receiver/preamplifier/ integrated amplifier. Alternatively, you can also use the TAPE INPUT or TAPE PLAY jacks on your receiver/preamplifier/ integrated amplifier.

Note: NEVER connect your CD player to the PHONO inputs.

2. OPTIONAL DIGITAL

CONNECTION

The HD710 also has a digital output jack

??? a single electrical RCA-type connector. If your preamplifier has a digital-to-analog decoder and can accept a digital signal from a compact disc player, you can connect your CD player to your preampli- fier using this digital jack.

Please note that using the digital output will bypass the internal D/A conversion circuitry and therefore miss one of the major benefits of this machine. The best use of this output is for direct connection to a digital recorder, a very high perfor- mance external D/A Converter, or a true Digital Signal Processing (DSP) Preampli- fier.

HD710 REMOTE CONTROL

OPERATION

The remote control operates within a 30?? angle and 23 ft. (7 m) range of the remote sensor on the front panel of the unit. Make sure that the remote's front projection ???lens??? as well as the REMOTE SENSOR area on the front panel of the unit are kept free from dirt to ensure proper transmission and reception of the infrared beam. Also make sure that no objects (e.g., stereo cabinet doors, end tables) block the path from the remote control to the REMOTE SENSOR area.

Avoid using the remote control near fluorescent lamps, as they may shorten its operating range.

If your remote control will sit unused for a long period of time, remove the batteries to prevent damage from corrosion.

REAR PANEL REMOTE

JACKS

The remote control input jack allows remote control of this unit via a cable. This cable can be connected to the remote control output jack of another Harman Kardon product. Alternatively, it can be connected to an accessory device that converts infrared remote control signals into detected pulses. While all Harman Kardon products with remote control jacks are compatible with one another, not all accessory devices or other manufacturer???s products are. However, it is safe to experiment.
