Safety Information

Verify Line Voltage Before Use
Your new Harman Kardon AVR41 is
configured for use with 230 volt AC line
current. Connecting the receiver to a line
voltage other than that for which it is
intended can create a safety and fire
hazard, and may damage the receiver.
If you have any questions about the volt-
age requirements for your specific model,
or about the line voltage in your area,
contact your 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 elec-
trical devices, do not run power cords
under rugs or carpets or place heavy
objects on them.
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 a 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 a
staple accidentally falls inside the unit,
disconnect it from the AC power source
immediately, and consult an authorized
service station.
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 pro-
vided 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 suffi-
cient air movement within the cabinet.
Under some circumstances a fan may
be required.
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.
Do not obstruct the ventilation slots on
the top of the unit, or place objects
directly over them.
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 immediately 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 interconnect cords, and
make certain that you disconnect it from
the AC outlet.
