Important Safety Information

Verify Line Voltage Before Use

Your HS 300 has been designed for use with 120-volt AC current. Connection to 
a line voltage other than that for which it is intended can create a safety and fire
hazard and may damage the unit.

If you have any questions about the voltage requirements for your specific model, or
about the line voltage in your area, contact your selling dealer before plugging the unit
into a wall outlet.

Do Not Use Extension Cords

To avoid safety hazards, use only the power cord attached to your unit. We do not
recommend that extension cords be used with this product. As with all electrical
devices, do not run power cords under rugs or carpets or place heavy objects on
them. Damaged power cords should be replaced immediately by an authorized service
center with a cord meeting factory specifications.

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 any 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 staple accidentally
falls inside the unit, disconnect it from the AC power source immediately, and consult
an authorized service center.

CATV or Antenna Grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to this product, be certain that it is
grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and static charges.
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides
information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure,
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors,
location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes and requirements
of the grounding electrode.

NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER:

This reminder is provided to call the CATV

(cable TV) system installer’s attention to article 820-40 of the NEC, which provides
guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground
shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point 
of cable entry as possible.

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.

• 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. 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 of the unit, or place objects

directly over them.

• Due to the weight of the HS 300 and the heat generated by the amplifiers,

there is the remote possibility that the rubber padding on the bottom of the 
unit’s feet may leave marks on certain wood or veneer materials. Use caution 

when placing the unit on soft woods or other materials that may be damaged
by heat or heavy objects. Some surface finishes may be particularly sensitive to
absorbing such marks, due to a variety of factors beyond Harman Kardon's control,
including the nature of the finish, cleaning materials used, and normal heat and
vibration caused by the use of the product, or other factors. We recommend that
caution be exercised in choosing an installation location for the component and in
normal maintenance practices, as your warranty will not cover this type of damage to
furniture.

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, 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.

Important Information for the User

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. The limits are designed to 
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference
to radio communication. However, there is no guarantee that harmful interference will
not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference
to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment
off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more
of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the

receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2)
this device must accept interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.

NOTE:

Changes or modifications may cause this unit to fail to comply with Part 15 of

the FCC Rules and may void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Unpacking

The carton and shipping materials used to protect your new receiver 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. 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.

It is important that you remove the protective plastic film from the front-panel lens.
Leaving the film in place will affect the performance of your remote control.
