Unpacking

The carton and shipping material used to protect your new system during shipment are 
specially designed to cushion it from shock and vibration. We suggest that you should 
save the carton and packing material for use in shipping if you move or if the unit ever 
needs repair.
To minimize the size of the carton in storage, you may have to flatten it. You can do it 
by carefully slitting the tape seams on the carton’s bottom and collapsing it. You can 
store cardboard inserts in the same manner. Packing materials that cannot be collapsed 
should be saved along with the carton in a plastic bag.

If you do not wish to save the packaging material, note that the carton and other sections 
of the shipping-protection materials are recyclable. Please respect the environment and 
discard those materials at a local recycling center.
Remove the protective plastic film from the front-panel lens. Leaving the film in place 
will affect the performance of your remote control.
