WARRANTY CARD

If you were the original purchaser of this amplifier and it was purchased in the United States, the

enclosed warranty registration card should be completed and returned it to Cary Audio Design within

10 days of the purchase.   Cary Audio Design also suggests that the original packing cartons be

maintained in the event it is necessary to ship the amplifiers at a later date.   Warranty restrictions

apply.   Consult the warranty section of this Operating Manual for details.

BREAK IN PERIOD

The tubes, capacitors and output   transformers take approximately 100 hours of music playing to

fully settle in for peak performance.   The CAD-1610-SE may seem sterile or thin sounding out of

the box.   After the first couple of hours, you will notice increased depth and tighter bass.   This break
in period defies all engineering theory, but is true with most audio amplifiers

.

The CAD-1610-SE chassis may be cleaned with a soft towel and Windex® (or a similar window

cleaner.   The frequency of cleaning will be governed by the number of hours the CAD-1610-SE is

operated  and  by  operating  environmental  cleanliness.
