Unpacking
The carton and shipping materials used to protect your new system during shipment
were specially designed to cushion it from shock and vibration. We suggest that you
save the carton and packing materials 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 wish 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.
