INSTALLATION __________________________________________
This section describes the unpacking and installation procedures for your new component.
UNPACKING
All Cary Audio Design shipping containers have been specially designed to protect their contents
and special care has been taken to prevent damage under normal shipping conditions.
Mishandling should be evident upon inspection of the shipping container. If shipping damage is
found after visual inspection, take care not to destroy the evidence. If necessary, document the
damage with photographs and contact the transport carrier immediately.
Carefully remove your new component from its packing carton and examine it closely for signs
of shipping damage. We strongly recommend saving all original packing cartons to protect your
component from damage should you wish to store it or ship it for after-sales service.
WARRANTY CARD
IN THE USA:
If you are the original purchaser of a new unit from an AUTHORIZED CARY
AUDIO DESIGN DEALER, please fill out the enclosed warranty registration card and return it
to Cary Audio Design within 15 days of your purchase. Cary Audio Design also suggests that
you keep your original packing cartons in case you ever need to ship the unit when moving to a
new home. Warranty restrictions apply. Consult the warranty section at the end of this manual
for details. Please be certain to keep a copy of the original sales receipt from your
AUTHORIZED CARY AUDIO DESIGN DEALER to validate the warranty if ever needed. The
warranty is for the original purchaser only and does not transfer to any subsequent owner.
OUTSIDE THE USA:
Your local Authorized Cary Audio Design Distributor will make his own
warranty policy for your country. Please check with them for the terms of warranty for your new
amplifier.
BREAK-IN PERIOD
The tubes and capacitors take approximately 100 hours of music playing to fully settle in for
peak performance. The PH 302 MkII will seem sterile or thin sounding right out of the box.
After the first couple of hours you will notice increased depth and tighter bass. This break-in
period defies all engineering theory, but is true with most audio amplifiers.
