In the unlikely event there is a problem with your PS Audio component, please contact your 

dealer, distributor, or the PS Audio corporate research center to discuss the problem before you 

return the component to our facilities for repair.  Products shipped to the corporate research 

facilities will be refused and returned freight collect if not accompanied by a PS Audio Service 

Department issued return authorization number (RA Number).

Return authorization numbers must be prominently displayed on the outside of the box and an 

accompanying letter describing the problem and re-listing the RA number must be inside the 

box to qualify for service.

If you are transferring your warranty, you must first contact PS Audio or your dealer or distributor 

for details.
