MarkO Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Hey C F Gratz on the new XW. I respect that you want to honor the christmas gift. I would recommend opening the unit, checking for damage, powering it up, and plug headphones in to check for audio output. Then there will be only smiles instead of surprise on XWass morning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Saucier Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Is the XW-G1 new, under warranty? Do you really want to give up a month of warranty time if so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CairnsFella Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 MarkO, Thanks mate. Very excited (and the wife hasn't bothered to hide the box yet). I actually meant to post in the general XW forum to spread my happiness to the wider XW community .. but I clearly 'missed' !! Anyway, I agree with your thoughts (though the unit will still be under warranty even if it didn't work at Christmas) But I suppose we would have the time to have the unit returned and back to me if there was a problem now. I might ask the wife to do it though, as I do get a childish joy from the unboxing alone (sad I know). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CairnsFella Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 Brad, I was typing whilst you were posting. The unit is new. Also, I don't know what the warranty is in your locale, but it's 5 years here, so it isn't as much of an issue as it might otherwise have been.

MarkO Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Hey Brad and CF, I really didn't take the warranty into consideration, I thought the warranty was from date of purchase, anyway I just was wishing CF the best possible Xmass. In my experience with electronics if they work the first time, and stay working after they warm up, usually they remain that way for their expected lifespan and beyond. Unless otherwise acted upon by a negitive external force like liquids or smoke/heat and power surge. Or drunk brother-in laws. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CairnsFella Posted November 13, 2015 Author Share Posted November 13, 2015 MarkO, I realise you were not talking about the warranty, but I was just responding to Brad. Anyhoo, the missus booted it up and by all accounts all was well. (She has now cunningly placed it in her sewing room with a sarong draped over it ) PS. I think Brad 'was' suggesting the warranty was from date of purchase, but by not using the XW I was wasting some of the warranty period. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
