Installation
To prevent possible damage to your
speakers and other components in your
audio system, it is important that ALL
components, including the HD720 and
receivers are turned off and unplugged
from their AC power source when
installing any new component.
Connecting the HD720 to your audio
system is simple. Using standard RCA-
to-RCA interconnect cords, connect the
left and right
Fixed Audio Output
jacks
™
on the rear panel to the CD
input jacks on your receiver, surround
processor or preamplifier.
If your system includes an optional,
external digital-to-analog converter, or
if you are using a receiver or other pro-
cessor that has the capability to decode
PCM digital input signals, connect the
Coaxial Digital Output
jack
¡
to
the Datastream Digital input on the
decoder. Make certain to use a coaxial-
style interconnect cable, as standard
audio cables will not perform as well.
Install the two AA batteries supplied with
the HD720’s remote by turning the remote
over so that you are holding the bottom
side up. Press lightly on the embossed
arrow on the cover, and gently slide the
cover towards you in the direction of the
arrow. Insert the batteries inside the com-
partment, being careful to follow the
+
and
–
polarity indications at the bottom of
the compartment. Replace the cover by
placing it on the remote and sliding it
back towards the top of the remote.
NOTE:
When replacing batteries it is
always a good idea to replace both at the
same time. When the unit will not be
used for an extended period of time, it is
also a good idea to remove the batteries
so that the potential for corrosion or
damage is avoided.
Connect the power to a non-switched AC
wall outlet, or to the accessory outlet on
the rear of another audio device in your
system and you are ready to go!
NOTE:
When using the accessory outlet
on another product to power the HD720
make certain that it has the ability to
power a device that draws at least 14
watts of current in addition to the
requirements of other devices that may
be plugged into the accessory outlets. If
you use a “switched” outlet, it is impor-
tant to remember that the host product
must be turned on in order for the
HD720 to operate.
