Congratulations on choosing the Carver Professional Xi Series Amplifier!  The Xi Series amplifiers

have superior fidelity and the capability to drive low impedances.  Our Xi series can deliver generous

power levels, even at 2 Ohm stereo loads.  By design, the Xi Series power amplifiers are very accurate

and efficient.  Your Xi Series amplifier will give you many years of outstanding service and reliability.

Unpacking

Inside the box you will find; one Xi Series Amplifier, four self-adhesive rubber feet, and an owner’s

manual and warranty card.

Carefully unpack the amplifier and keep the original carton and packing materials for future moving,

shipment or long-term storage.  After opening the box, please check for visible signs of damage that

were not apparent from the outside of the box.  If you encounter what appears to be concealed

damage, please consult your Carver Professional Dealer before installing unit.

Important Paperwork

Make sure to save your sales receipt.  Your receipt is extremely important to establish the duration

of your Limited Warranty and for insurance purposes.  Next, make a note of the serial number, which

is located on the back of the amplifier.  Record it in the space provided below for convenient reference.

Finally, take a moment to fill out the Warranty Registration Card packed with the amplifier and return

it to Carver Professional. This will allow us to keep you informed about new products as they become

available.
