soapy water, then a fresh cloth with clean
water. Wipe dry immediately with a dry

Unpacking and Installation
The carton and shipping materials used
to protect your new HD720 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.

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.

When positioning your HD720 in its final
location, make certain that any shelf or

and that there is adequate ventilation on
all sides, as well as on the top and
bottom. Do not place CDs, record jackets,
owner’s manuals or other paper on top
of, or beneath the unit.
