I've just rung the supplier. He says as long as there isn't any damage to the box, it will probably be ok.
He said opening it will not affect my rights so just go ahead and do it.
Annoying thing is, I'm at work until about four (girlfriend took delivery)!!!! Can't wait to get home and play.
(Hope I wont be disappointed!!!!)
Thanks once again.

Look out for screenburn/image retention also - took mine out of the box this week, hooked up and had a lovely faint image of a dvd menu staring at me. Being replaced so hope new one is ok. Apart from that - cracking picture.
Highlights the importance of singing for everything as UNCHECKED. Even if its £5 cable cross the bit of the docket that says recieved in good condition and write unchecked. You wouldn't believe the extent courier companies will hold you to it if you don't
mr. shr said:Where did the image of the DVD menu come from? If it's brand new, surely it wont have been connected to a DVD player unit you get it home?
BIGMAX said:Exactly - What the hell were they doing with it before it was delivered. Obviously it's been on display or something - they said that the new screens are tested but to leave a dvd menu on screen long enough for it still to be there is not my idea of testing. Shall be waiting on Monday for another "new" screen and will sign for it unchecked.
MAW said:Bigmax, nobody I know unboxes and tests every screen. For mail order, you just don't have the margins to pay people to do this. What make is it, get in the service menu of the new one and check the hours.
mr. shr said:Thanks Ian, I'll give that a go tonight. I assume this will show me the number of hours run and number of times its been switched on?
I assume so.I'm about to take the plunge myself and the 435xde is now top of my list so I've been collecting as much info as I can about it.This info came from FAQ.There's probably quite a few beginners like myself who would be interested to hear how you get on,both the successes and (if you can face posting them) the mistakes so we don't repeat them.
