Unpacking Your SSA 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 Mythos SSA in the appropriate place on the product registration card,

answer all questions and send it in.

VERY IMPORTANT: Accessories

Various parts and accessories that you will need to use your Mythos SSA are in the 

carton but are easy to overlook. Open both ends of the shipping carton. Carefully 

examine the contents of the shipping carton and packing material to find the plastic

bags with accessories.
