Maintaining Your D/AC-1600 HD
Your D/AC-1600HD requires no routine maintenance. We do recommend that you remove and twist the
various RCA connections once a year to remove any corrosion buildup on plugs and jacks. Make sure the
power is turned off before attempting this. It’s not a bad idea to do this to each of your other components
while you are at it. Never use any abrasive cleaner on the front panel or top cover that may scratch or
disfigure them. Use only a soft cloth moistened with clear water or Windex to remove fingerprints.
In Case of Trouble
If you suspect a problem with your unit, first recheck all your connections. If one channel is inoperative, the
trouble may be caused by another component or even a defective hookup cable. If only one channel remains
inoperative, try- reversing the Left and Right cables to your preamplifier (turn it off before moving wires).
If the same channel stays out, it indicates trouble could be other than your D/A converter itself. We suggest
you contact your authorized Parasound dealer or call Parasound Technical Service if you suspect a problem.
We will suggest other diagnostic tests you can easily perform and which will save you a lot of trouble.
If we determine that your D/AC-1600 HD requires service, we will recommend a local Authorized Warranty
Center. If you choose to return the unit to Parasound, we will give you Return Authorization Number. You
will be asked to carefully pack the unit in its original carton and cardboard packing plus an additional outer
box for protection in transit. The Return Authorization number must be clearly marked on the outer carton
only. You should ship the unit by UPS with adequate insurance specified. You must include a copy of your
purchase receipt to validate your ownership.
Units that arrive without your specific Return Authorization number, without a suitable shipping carton or
evidence of improper internal packing or collect will be refused. We do not accept collect shipments. After
repair under warranty, the unit will be returned to you via prepaid UPS. In the case of an out of warranty
repair, we will advise you repair charges before you ship the unit. The same packing requirements and RA
requirement apply.
