unpacking

Please inspect the amplifier carefully immediately after unpacking. If you find
any damage, notify your supplier/dealer immediately. Only the shipper may
file a damage claim with the carrier for damage incurred during shipping. Be
sure to save the carton and all packing materials for the carrier’s inspection.

If the packing materials are in good condition, please save them.

If you ever need to ship the unit back to Crest Audio or an authorized ser-
vice center, you should use only the original factory packing.

For replacement pack-
aging, call Crest Audio’s
Customer Service
Department directly.
