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 if the unit ever needs
repair.
To minimize the size of the carton in storage, you may wish to flatten it. You can do it by
carefully slitting the tape seams on the carton’s bottom and collapsing it. You can store
cardboard inserts 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 materials are recyclable. Please respect the
environment and discard those materials at a local recycling center.
Remove the protective plastic film from the front-panel lens. Leaving the film in place
will affect the performance of your remote control.
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.
Provide proper space 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 area. 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 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 top and sides of the unit or place objects
directly over or next to them.
Do not place the BDT 2/BDT 20 directly on top of a product that generates excessive heat.
Due to the heat generated by the player and other components in 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 wood-veneer materials. Use caution when placing the unit
on soft woods or other materials that heat or heavy objects may damage. Some surface
finishes may be particularly sensitive to absorbing such marks, due to a variety of factors
beyond Harman Kardon control, including the nature of the finish, cleaning materials
used, normal heat and vibration caused by the use of the product, or other factors. Your
warranty will not cover this type of damage to furniture, so exercise caution in choosing
an installation location for the component and in performing normal maintenance
practices.
Your new Harman Kardon Blu-ray Disc™ player requires a broadband Internet connection
for BD-Live™ interactivity.
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, paint 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.
