PLACEMENT
The HD730 is fully shielded and may be
placed on top of or under other stereo
components as long as the “feet” provide
sufficient clearance for cooling of the compo-
nent below. Please make sure that the HD730
receives adequate ventilation. It should
always be located away from heat sources
such as radiators, fireplaces, stoves, and other
appliances that produce heat. Avoid placing
the unit in locations that receive prolonged
direct sunlight or extremely low temperatures.
While your compact disc player is designed to
be vibration-resistant, excessive shocks or
placement too close to large speakers can
cause “stuttering” or skipping. When choosing
a place for your new CD player, take the same
precautions you would with a turntable.
GENERAL CONNECTION HINTS
As you connect your compact disc player,
carefully connect the plugs to the output jacks,
being sure to push the plugs in all the way.
Loose connection of a plug can cause hum or
other intermittent noise. Take care to match
the left and right plugs on the CD player with
the left and right input jacks on the back of the
receiver/preamplifier/integrated amplifier.
Common practice is to use the red plug as
right, and the white, gray, or black plug as left.
Do not wind the cables with the power cord;
doing so may degrade the sound quality.
When you have finished connecting your
HD730 to your receiver/preamplifier/integrated
amplifier, plug the power cord of the CD player
either into a power outlet on the back of
another component, or into the power outlet in
the wall.
CARE OF THE LASER PICKUP
The laser pickup that detects the music
recorded on a CD is located under the
compact disc drawer. The laser pickup,
especially its precision lens, is particularly
sensitive to dust. Keep the disc drawer closed
when the unit is not in use, and do not put your
hand inside the unit.
INTERFERENCE
This compact disc player uses high-frequency
signals that can sometimes interfere with
reception in tuners and televisions. If you start
to experience reception problems after
connecting and turning on your CD player,
move the CD player farther away from your
tuner or television set or turn the CD player off
when it is not in use.
POWER CORD PROTECTION
The power cord should be routed in such a
way that it is not likely to be walked on or
pinched by items laying on or against it. Any
power cord is susceptible to stress at the point
where it joins the plug and the point where it
exits from the back of the unit, so take care not
to fold or bend it excessively at those points.
Never pull or stretch the cord. The CD
player’s power cord should be unplugged from
the outlet when the unit is left unused for a
long period of time.
CARE OF THE LASER PICKUP
The laser pickup that detects the music
recorded on a CD is located under the
compact disc drawer. The laser pickup,
especially its precision lens, is particularly
sensitive to dust. Keep the disc drawer closed
when the unit is not in use, and do not put your
hand inside the unit.
CLEANING
Use only a clean dry cloth to clean your
compact disc player. Do not use solvents
such as alcohol, benzine, gasoline, etc. Take
care that excessive dust does not accumulate
on your unit, and that objects are not dropped
inside or liquids spilled into the unit.
WATER AND MOISTURE
Do not operate this compact disc player
around water (e.g., near a swimming pool,
sink, or in a wet basement).
ABNORMAL SMELLS
If you detect an abnormal smell or smoke,
immediately turn the compact disc player off
and pull out the power cord. Contact your
dealer or nearest Harman Kardon service
center.
SERVICE
Please contact your local distributor for
service.
PACKING MATERIAL
Your box and packing material are custom
designed to provide optimum protection for
your compact disc player. Be sure to save the
box and packing material in case you need to
transport or ship the unit at some future time
(e.g., service or moving).

Rear Panel Connections
Before you begin to connect this unit
to your system, be sure that all
components are turned off and
unplugged from the electrical outlet.
See the connection diagram in the
operating instruction manual of a
Harman/Kardon compatible amplifier
or receiver.
Note: NEVER connect your CD player
to the PHONO inputs.
2. OPTIONAL DIGITAL
CONNECTION
The HD730 also has a digital output jack
— a single electrical RCA-type connector.
If your preamplifier has a digital-to-analog
decoder and can accept a digital signal
from a compact disc player, you can
connect your CD player to your preampli-
fier using this digital jack.
1. CONNECTION CORDS
On the back of your HD730 are output
jacks that connect your CD player to your
receiver, integrated amplifier, or preampli-
fier. Using the supplied shielded cords,
connect the left and right output jacks on
the back of the CD player to the left and
right input jacks marked CD or AUX on the
back of your receiver/preamplifier/
integrated amplifier. Alternatively, you can
also use the TAPE INPUT or TAPE PLAY
jacks on your receiver/preamplifier/
integrated amplifier.
Please note that using the digital output
will bypass the internal D/A conversion
circuitry and therefore miss one of the
major benefits of this machine. The best
use of this output is for direct connection
to a digital recorder, a very high perfor-
mance external D/A Converter, or a true
Digital Signal Processing (DSP) Preampli-
fier.
3. AC INPUT CORD
Plug this cord into the AC outlet of
amplifier or receiver or a household AC
outlet.

HD730 REMOTE CONTROL
OPERATION
The remote control operates wtihin a 30°
angle of the remote sensor on the front
panel of the unit. Make sure that the
remote's front projection “lens” as well as
the REMOTE SENSOR area on the front
panel of the unit are kept free from dirt to
ensure proper transmission and reception
of the infrared beam. Also make sure
that no objects (e.g., stereo cabinet
doors, end tables) block the path from the
remote control to the REMOTE SENSOR
area.
Avoid using the remote control near
fluorescent lamps, as they may shorten
its operating range.
If your remote control will sit unused for a
long period of time, remove the batteries
to prevent damage from corrosion.
REAR PANEL REMOTE
JACKS
The remote control input jack allows
remote control of this unit via a cable.
This cable can be connected to the
remote control output jack of another
Harman Kardon product. Alternatively, it
can be connected to an accessory device
that converts infrared remote control
signals into detected pulses. While all
Harman Kardon products with remote
control jacks are compatible with one
another, not all accessory devices or
other manufacturer’s products are.
However, it is safe to experiment.
Remote Control
11
The remote control for the HD730
provides the same functions found on the
front panel of the compact disc player
itself. In addition, the remote control
provides some functions that are not
found on the front panel.
The functions found on the remote
control that are not found on the front
panel are INTRO, INDEX, DISPLAY, and
the 1-10 keys. These four functions are
described below (for other functions, see
the descriptions on page 4.)
1. INTRO BUTTON
This button puts your compact disc player
in and out of INTRO SCAN mode. When
INTRO SCAN is on and you press PLAY,
the unit plays only the first 15 seconds of
each track before moving on to the next.
Press the button once to turn on INTRO
SCAN mode; press again to turn it off
and stop the scanning. When the unit is
in INTRO SCAN mode, the FUNCTION
indicator (5) will display the word INTRO.
2. NUMERIC BUTTONS (0 - 9)
If you press the number that corre-
sponds to your desired track with the
NUMERIC buttons, the unit plays that
track immediately without the PLAY
button.
To select two digit track number, the
second digit must be pressed within
about 2 seconds after the first digit
has been pressed.
During programming or deleting, etc.,
if you select the desired or undesired
track with the NUMERIC buttons, that
track is programmed or deleted
without the PROGRAM or DELETE
button.
