4. Unpacking and
Paperwork
Carefully unpack your CT-29v and keep the
original carton and packing materials for
future moving, shipment or long-term stor-
age.
After opening the box, please check for any
visible signs of damage that were not apparent
from the outside of the box. If you do en-
counter what appears to be concealed damage,
please consult your Carver Dealer before
proceeding to further unpack or install the
unit.

receipt is extremely important to establish the
duration of your Limited Warranty, and for
insurance purposes. Next, make a note of the
serial number which is located on the back of
the CT-29v. Record it in the space provided
below for convenient reference.

5. Installation
Location and General
Precautions
Observe the following precautions when
choosing a location for the CT-29v:
• Do not expose the unit to rain or mois-
ture.
• Protect from prolonged exposure to direct
sunlight.
• Avoid excessive exposure to extreme cold
or dust.
• Avoid exposure to electrostatic discharge.
• Do not place heavy objects on the unit.
• Protect from heat and allow adequate
ventilation. Place away from direct
sources of heat, such as heating vents and
radiators.
All components produce some heat during
operation, so make sure that ventilation holes
are not covered, and that air is allowed to
circulate freely behind, beside and above the
unit. Excessive heat is the single greatest
source of both short-term and long-term
component failure.
If a fluid or foreign object does enter the
unit, disconnect the power plug and contact
an authorized dealer or service center. Do not
pull out the plug by pulling on the cord; grasp
the plug firmly.
Getting Started
For information on selection of speakers
and amplifiers for surround sound operation,
see
About Surround Sound
on page 33.
No special tools are required to make con-
nections to the CT-29v. If you are installing
new speakers for surround sound or Multi-
room operaton, you may require a wire cutter
and wire stripper, or other appropriate tools.
No connecting cables are supplied with the
CT-29v. RCA-type interconnect cables are
often supplied with the source units. Addi-
tional cables are available from your Carver
dealer.
If installing in a cabinet, provide sufficient
cable slack to allow turning the preamplifier
around 180 degrees to make all connections.
If this is not possible, a small lamp and hand
mirror may be helpful in making some con-
nections.
