SERVICE AND CARE
CARE AND CLEANING
The cabinet housing and front panel of the VT-500 may be cleaned with a soft cloth and Windex or
a window cleaner. The frequency of cleaning will be governed by how many hours the VT-500 is
operated and by operating environment cleanliness.
CAUTION:
•
Do not let any liquids spill into the vents on top of the unit.
TUBE REPLACEMENT
If it becomes necessary to replace the tubes in the VT-500 phono preamplifier, a matched quartet set
of tubes of the same brand should be used. A new tube kit is available from Cary Audio Design. You
should get a few years or more from the tubes with everyday usage.
AC POWER FUSE REPLACEMENT
WARNING:
When replacing the power fuse, make sure the unit is NOT PLUGGED IN.
The value for the AC fuse for AC voltages from 100V-240V is 1A 250V slow blow fuse.
The AC fuse is located on the rear panel of the external power supply below the AC inlet.
FACTORY SERVICE
Careful consideration has been given to the design of your VT-500 to keep maintenance problems
to a minimum. Any problems or requests for service should be referred to our Customer Service
Department at 919-355-0010. DO NOT return the VT-500 to the factory without a Return
Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number from our online Customer Service Center
(www.caryaudio.com).
Cary Audio will assume no responsibility if the shipping company refuses to pay for damage due to
your improper packing or lack of insurance should the unit be lost or damaged in shipment. Please
retain and always use the original shipping carton for shipping the player. Also, Cary Audio reserves
the right to return products sent in for service in a new box set at the customer’s expense if the
original packing material was damaged in the initial shipment, or if it is deemed unsatisfactory to
use in return shipping.
