Unpacking the RSP-980
Your RSP-980 underwent quality control tests before we sent it
on its way to you and should perform perfectly out of the box.
Simply remove it carefully from its packing. Look for the hand
held remote controller and other accessories before putting the
packing material back in the box. Although space is usually tight
in today's homes, we recommend that you save the packing and
box if possible as it will protect the RSP-980 if you move or need
to return it to us for maintenance.
