er. This warranty is only valid in the country in which the amplifier was
purchased.

of component or manufacturer defect. The amplifier is also covered

will void your warranty:
The power cord or AC plug has been damaged through misuse.
The amplifier has been exposed to moisture or extreme tempera-
tures.
The amplifier has been dropped, items have been dropped on the
amplifier, or the enclosure has been damaged.
The amplifier has been opened by the operator.
The amplifier was improperly packaged when sending to the fac-
tory for repair, resulting in damage.
Any of the precautions or instructions found in this manual were

tact information below to initiate the repair process.
