Unpacking Your BG Loudspeakers and Amplifier

1.  Due  to  its  size  and  weight,  the  R-800  is shipped  in  a  wooden  crate.  Other  models

are shipped in cardboard boxes. Place the shipping box down on the floor, ensuring
that  you  have  adequate  space  to  set  the  loudspeaker  down  after  removing  it  from
the  box.  Caution:  If  your  floor  is  not  carpeted,  lay  a  blanket  or  other  suitable  soft
fabric on the floor to prevent possible damage to the loudspeakers.

2.  Rotate the box if required, so that the white product label affixed at the factory is on

top and facing up.

3.  Pull  the  top  flaps  (cardboard  box)  or  the  top  cover  (wooden  crate)  of  the  shipping

box up, taking care not to cut yourself on the staples used to close  the  box.  Open
the  other  cardboard  end  flaps  to  expose  the  loudspeaker  still  cradled  in  its
protective  foam  and  inside  a  protective  plastic  bag.  Remove  the  foam  pieces  over
the top of the loudspeaker.

4. 

The R-800 has two  plywood  panels  attached  with screws  on  the sides that secure
the  loudspeakers  into  the  box.  Use  a  screwdriver  to  remove  those  panels  before
taking the speakers out.

5. 

Remove  the  loudspeaker  by  lifting  it  straight  up  and  out  of  the  box.  Due  to  their
weight, we recommend that two people work together to remove the R-800 from the
crate.

6. 

Cut the taped seams of the amplifier box with a utility knife. Open the box flaps and
carefully remove amplifier from the box.
