Installation

To prevent possible damage to your
speakers and other components in your
audio system, it is important that ALL
components, including the HD740 and
receivers are turned off and unplugged
from their AC power source when
installing any new component.

Connecting the HD740 to your audio
system is simple. Using standard RCA-
to-RCA interconnect cords, connect the
left and right

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 signals, connect the

jack 

`

or

jack 

£

to 

the appropriate digital input on the
decoder. When the coax output is used,
be certain to use a coaxial or video
interconnect cable for best results.

Install the two AA batteries supplied with
the HD740’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
compartment, 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 HD740
make certain that it has the ability to
power a device that draws at least 12
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
important to remember that the host
product must be turned on in order for
the HD740 to operate.

Disc Handling Notes
When loading or unloading discs, it is
best to hold them by the edges.

While Compact Discs are very reliable,
rough handling may damage them. Avoid
scratching the bottom (non-printed) side
of discs, or any handling which will leave
fingerprints.

To avoid damage to the disc and player,
always seat discs so that they are centered
in the tray.

Do not lift the player while the disc tray 
is opening or closing, as this may cause
the disc to unseat from the tray and 
possibly jam.
