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.
CAUTION: The HD 990 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 prod
uct, 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.

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.

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS
APPARATUS TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
SEE MARKING ON BACK OF PRODUCT.
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
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 interconnection cords with other
components, and make certain that you disconnect the unit from the AC outlet.
Unpacking
The carton and shipping materials used to protect your new HD 990 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 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.
