UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION 

 

This section describes the unpacking and installation procedures for your new component. 

 

Unpacking 

 

All Cary Audio Design shipping cartons have been specially designed to protect their contents and 

special care has been taken to prevent damage under normal shipping conditions. Mishandling 

should be evident upon inspection of the shipping container. If shipping damage is found after 

visual inspection, take care not to destroy the evidence. If necessary, document the damage with 

photographs and contact the transport carrier immediately. 

 

Carefully remove your new component from its packing carton and examine it closely for signs of 

shipping damage. We strongly recommend saving all original packing cartons to protect your 

component from damage should you wish to store it or ship it at a later date.  

 

In the Box 

 

When unpacking your CAD 120S power amplifier, make sure the following accessories are 

included. You should find the following items:

Owner’s Manual 

 

Warranty Card  

 

Spare Fuses 

 

 

Warranty Card 

 

If you are the original purchaser of this unit and you purchased it in the United States, you 

should fill out the enclosed warranty registration card and return it to Cary Audio Design within 

15 days of your purchase. Cary Audio Design also suggests that you keep your original packing 

cartons in case you ever need to ship the unit when moving to a new home. Warranty 

restrictions apply. Consult the warranty section of this manual for details. Please be certain to 

keep a copy of the original sales receipt from your Authorized Cary Audio Design dealer to 

validate the warranty if ever needed.
