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 3/BDT 30 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.

information that is encoded on most Blu-ray Disc recordings and DVD
recordings. Your player will only play discs that contain region coding for the
area where your player was shipped and intended for sale:

If there is a Region Code on a disc other than the one your BDT player is
designed for, it will not play in your BDT player.
