CHAPTER 1

Unpacking

Your Ultimate Receiver should reach you in perfect condition. If you do notice any shipping damage, please contact your SunÞre Dealer immediately.

Gently lift out the unit and remove all the packing material and acces- sories. It is important to save all the packing materials and the box in case your Ultimate Receiver ever needs to be moved or shipped for repair.

Make sure that you keep your sales receipt. It is the only way to establish the duration of your Limited Warranty and it may come in useful for insur- ance purposes.

Please take a moment to Þll out and mail the SunÞre Customer Response card. Also read the serial number located on the rear panel and record it here:
