First, if you need service, it is probably best to go and see a trained 

health care professional.
If the Epicenter amplifier needs service, then please contact Audio-

Control, either by e-mail or phone. We will verify if there is anything 

wrong in the system that you can correct yourself, or if it needs to be 

sent back to our factory for repair.
Please include the following items when returning the unit:
1.  A copy of your proof of purchase. No originals please. We cannot 

guarantee returning them to you.

2.  A brief explanation of the trouble you are having with the unit. 

(You’d be surprised how many people forget this.) If you can 

supply a really detailed description of the problem, this would be 

so much better, and our service technicians may add you to their 

Christmas Card list. Please include any notes about the system 

and other components you are using. Is it an intermittent prob-

lem, or all the time?

3.  A return street address. (No PO Boxes, please).
4.  A daytime phone number in case our technicians have a ques-

tion about the problem you are having, or if they are just feeling 

lonely.

5.  Package the unit in the original packaging if you still have it, and 

if the cat hasn’t had three litters of kittens in the box. Use great 

care and plenty of good packing materials to protect the unit and 

prevent it from moving about inside the box. Do not use loose 

materials like packing peanuts or real peanuts.

You are responsible for the freight charges to us, but we’ll pay the 

return freight back as long as the unit is under warranty. We match 

whatever shipping method you use to send it to us, so if you return 

the unit overnight freight, we send it back overnight. We recommend 

United Parcel Service (UPS) for most shipments.
