The Synthesis products listed below are warranted for 
the period stated from the date of original purchase.
Amplifiers, Equalizers, Signal Processing Package and
Surround Sound Processor—2 Year Warranty. This 
warranty applies to non-commercial, residential use only.

WHO IS PROTECTED BY THIS WARRANTY?

Your JBL warranty protects the original owner and all sub-
sequent owners, so long as the original bill of sale is pre-
sented when warranty service is required.

WHAT IS COVERED BY THE JBL WARRANTY?

Your JBL warranty covers all defects in material and work-
manship with the following specified exceptions. These
are (1) damage caused by accident, unreasonable use or
neglect (including the lack of reasonable and necessary
maintenance); (2) damage caused by improper installation
or adjustment; (3) damage occurring during shipment
(claims must be presented to the carrier); (4) damage to
or deterioration of any accessory or decorative surface; 
(5) damage resulting from failure to follow instructions
contained in your owner’s manual; (6) damage resulting
from the performance of repairs by someone other than
an authorized JBL warranty station; (7) any JBL unit on
which the serial number has been effaced, modified, or
removed; (8) units which have been altered or modified in
design, appearance or construction; (9) products sold on
an "as-is" or final sale basis. This warranty covers only the
actual defects within the product itself, and does not cover
the costs of installation or removal from a fixed installa-
tion, normal set-up or adjustments, claims based on any
misrepresentation by the seller, or performance variations
resulting from installation related circumstances such 
as program source quality or AC power.

HOW TO OBTAIN WARRANTY SERVICE.

If your JBL product ever needs service, we may direct you
to an Authorized JBL Warranty Station, or ask you to send
your unit to the factory for repair in which case we’ll also
supply a Service Return Authorization and complete 
shipping instructions. If the product was purchased in a
country other than the USA, it is necessary to return the
product to the distributor or selling location in the same
country. Either way, you’ll need to present the original bill
of sale to establish the date of purchase. Please do not
ship your JBL product to the factory without our 
prior authorization. In the United States, please 

call 1-800-336-4JBL for the location of the authorized 
warranty station nearest you.

If service under this warranty is not necessary, but you
have questions regarding the installation or operation of
this unit, please contact your authorized JBL retailer or 
call 1-800-336-4JBL for further assistance.

WHO PAYS FOR WHAT?

JBL will be happy to pay all labor and material expenses
for all repairs covered by this warranty. If necessary
repairs are not covered by this warranty, or if a unit is
examined which is not in need of repair, you will be
charged for the repairs or the examination.

Although you must pay any shipping charges incurred in
getting your JBL product to an Authorized Warranty
Station or to the factory, we will pay return shipping
charges within the United States if the repairs are covered
by the warranty. Please be sure to save the original ship-
ping cartons because a nominal charge will be made for
additional cartons.

LIMITATION ON IMPLIED WARRANTIES

IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND
FITNESS FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE LIMITED IN
DURATION TO THE LENGTH OF THIS WARRANTY,
UNLESS OTHERWISE PROVIDED BY STATE LAW.

EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES

JBL’S LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE REPAIR OR
REPLACEMENT AT OUR OPTION, OF ANY DEFECTIVE
PRODUCT AND SHALL IN NO EVENT INCLUDE INCIDEN-
TAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OF
ANY KIND.

SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW
LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS AND/OR DO NOT
ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSE-
QUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS
AND EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may
also have other rights which vary from state to state.

We sincerely thank you for your expression of confidence
in JBL products. This equipment has been painstakingly
assembled by highly trained craftspeople. It should give
you many years of musical enjoyment.
