TRANSFERABLE LIMITED 5 YEAR WARRANTY
Community products are guaranteed to be free from defects in
materials and workmanship for a specified period as noted, by
product group, below:
MVP™
Loudspeaker Systems are covered by this warranty for a
period of five years. The warranty period is determined by one of
the following two methods, whichever is longer:
1. Starting from the date of retail purchase, as noted on the sales
receipt from an authorized Community Dealer, or
2. Starting from the date of manufacture, which is coded in the serial
number, if the sales receipt is not available. This warranty applies to
the product; therefore, the remainder of the warranty period will be
automatically transferred to any subsequent owner.
This warranty applies only to failure of Community products
caused by defects in materials and workmanship during the stated
warranty period. It does not apply to products that have been
subjected to abuse, accident, modification, improper handling or
installation, or repairs made without factory authorization or by
anyone other than authorized Community Field Service Stations.

RETURN SHIPPING INSTRUCTIONS
The most common reason for returning a product to the factory is
that repair is required. The very first step should be to contact the
dealer where the unit was purchased. With the support of the dealer
you should be able to determine the cause of the problem and obtain
the proper replacement or repair part so that a return shipment is
not necessary. If this is not possible, contacting your nearest Field
Service Station or the Distributor for your country should be your
next choice.
WIRING UP YOUR SPEAKERS TO YOUR AMPLIFIER
You need to use proper cable and good quality connectors for
speaker wiring. Using guitar cords or zip cord (used for table lamps)
may degrade the performance of your loudspeakers. If your speaker
cables will be less than 25' long, 16-gauge (1.5 mm
) stranded
twisted-pair cable will be adequate. If you need longer cables, you
should use 14- or 12-gauge (2.5 mm
or 4 mm
) stranded cable.
Rubber-jacketed cable is an excellent choice if you wish to have
reliable performance, as this type of cable will survive hard use and
remain flexible even if exposed to cold. If it is likely that people will
walk on it or that heavy objects will be rolled over the cables you
may wish to use cable with a vinyl (PVC) jacket. If you decide to go
with the rubber-jacketed cable, ask your supplier for type S, SO, or
SJ cable, all of which will be suitable.
The loudspeaker connection panel is supplied with two 1/4" phone
jacks and two locking connectors all wired in parallel. Keep in mind
that the contact surface of the tip of a phone plug is very small and if
the jack or plug gets dirty or the plug is accidentally kicked or hit,
the connection may become intermittent.
