SERVICE AND CARE

 

 

 

 

CARE AND CLEANING

 

 

Unplug the unit from the wall outlet before cleaning. Clean the cabinet housing and front panel of 

the SLP 05 with a soft cloth and a glass cleaner (such as Windex). The frequency of cleaning will 
vary based on the cleanliness of the environment and the number of hours the SLP 05 is 

operated. Do not use solvents or harsh chemicals to clean the preamplifier. They may remove the 

labels or lettering from the chassis. Avoid letting the component become dusty or wet. A ‘feather 
duster’ type cleaner will also work well for cleaning the component when the unit is cool. 

 

 
 

FACTORY SERVICE

 

 

Careful consideration has been given to the design of your SLP 05 to keep maintenance 
problems to a minimum. Any problems or requests for service should be referred to our 

Customer Service Department at 919.355.0010. Do not return the SLP 05 to the factory without 

a return authorization number (RA) from the Customer Service Department. Refer to the next 
section for details about returning equipment to Cary Audio Design. 

 

Should the unit be lost or damaged in shipment, Cary Audio Design will assume no 

responsibility if the shipping company refuses to pay for damage due to your improper packing 
or lack of insurance. Please use the original shipping carton for shipping the player. 

 

 
 

NON-WARRANTY REPAIRS

 

 

Cary Audio Design will provide repair service for its products charging on a time and expense 

basis. Please call Cary Audio Design at 919.355.0010 for more information about out-of-
warranty service and repair fees. 

 

 
 
 
 

 

WARNINGS

 

• 

Make no attempt to put the SLP 05 Preamplifier in service with the 
chassis open - Contact with high voltages found in the unit can be fatal.

 

• 

Completely remove AC power plug from the wall and allow 30 minutes 
for the high voltage capacitors to discharge through bleeder resistors 

before attempting to clean the inside of the component.

 

 

CAUTIONS

 

• 

Never remove/insert AC plug when the unit is on or the AC power switch is 

in the “ON” position.
