SERVICE

Once the system is in place, it should need little or no
attention. The components are of the highest quality,
and many are built to withstand the rigors of
professional use. This Section outlines service policies
and warranties.

3.1 General Service Policy

The

JBL Synthesis System

is backed by our exclusive

48–hour (no-down-time) Service Policy”

.* 

Any time within a component’s warranty period that you
report trouble to your certified

JBL Synthesis Dealer

, he

will determine the nature of the problem and contact 

JBL

within 24 hours.

If a damaged component is within the first 30 days of its
warranty period 

JBL

will send your 

JBL Synthesis Dealer

a replacement unit, to be installed in your system, within
the specified 24 hour period, after 

JBL

has been

contacted.

If more than 30 days of your component’s warranty
period has lapsed, and the damaged component is still
covered under warranty,

will provide your 

JBL

Synthesis Dealer

with a loaner unit within the same 24

hour period to be installed in your system, and your unit
will be sent to
