Unpacking Your Di 5.5BPS Speakers

Please Inspect For Shipping Damage

Each loudspeaker leaves our plant in perfect condition. Any visible or concealed 

damage most likely occurred in handling after it left our plant and should be reported

at once to your Definitive dealer or the delivery company that delivered your loud-

speaker. Please unpack your system carefully. Save all cartons and packing materials 

in case you move or need to ship your system. Record the serial number found on 

the back of the speakers, and on the carton, in this manual and save it for future

reference should your speaker need service. For your best protection, register your 

Di 5.5BPS speakers on-line at http://registration.definitivetech.com.
