Unpacking
Save your carton and the packing insem for future safe transport in case you move or your unit ever
requires shipping for repair. Note, the white printed carton is not itself strong enough for safe shipping, so

you absolutely must place it into the additional 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-600. Please don't lose it.
