Unpacking
Your HCA-1200II packed in two strong cardboard cartons. Save your cartons and the styrofoam inserts for
future safe transport in case you move or your unit ever requires shipping for repair. Note, the inner white
printed carton is not itself strong enough for safe shipping, so you absolutely must place it into the additional
brown outer "overcarton" before shipment.
The AC cord is packed separately in the carton. This is a specially selected audiophile grade cord and is the
only cord we recommend for use with your HCA-1200II. Please don't lose it.
Before you proceed, find the serial number which is located on the rear panel of your unit and record it here
for future reference or in case of casualty loss or theft:_____________________________.
