XIV. IN CASE OF PROBLEMS

A.

Lower volume if a speaker begins to sound distorted or seems to be 
missing certain frequencies, to check first to see whether playing at 
somewhat lower volume seems to clear up the problem.  It can be 
especially important to turn down the volume right away if you have 
pushed a low-powered amplifier or receiver past its comfortable limits as 
discussed  in the “Protecting Your Investment” section.

B.

Isolate the problem to the electronics or the speakers and, if the 
speakers, to specific speakers.  Interchange the speaker wire 
connections on your amplifier or receiver between channels, so that the 
left speaker is connected to the right channel, or vice versa.  If the 
problem shifts to the other speaker, the problem is not in the speaker but 
in the electronics.

C. 

Another component—or, very often, a cable or connection problem 
between components—may be at fault.  If the problem stays in the same 
speaker, irrespective of the channel to which it’s connected—and after 
changing the connecting wire—the speaker itself probably needs service.

D. 

See your dealer if you require service.  PSB dealers are equipped to 
handle almost all problems.  If you have moved since your purchase, the 
nearest authorized PSB dealer should be able to help you.  You may 
locate your nearest PSB authorized dealer on-line at 
www.psbspeakers.com/r/list.html.   If the problem is not resolved, please 
contact us, providing the Model name, Serial Number, date of purchase, 
dealer name, and a full description of the problem.

We appreciate your purchase, and hope this owner’s guide helps you enjoy the 
exceptional satisfaction that PSB speaker systems have to offer.  We wish you 
many years of enjoyable listening!
