To disengage, or bypass, the CSE 6.1 circuits, simply press the Engage button a second time
and its LED will no longer light. When the CSE 6.1 is disengaged, the LS and RS signals
bypass the CSE 6.1 circuits and connect directly to the left and right surround amplifier
channels for pure 5.1 reproduction. The CSE 6.1 remote control has a separate Bypass button
so you’ll know that the CSE 6.1 is disengaged without having to view its front panel indicator.
Maintaining Your Parasound CSE 6.1
Your Parasound processor requires no periodic maintenance and has no user serviceable
parts inside. The exterior can easily be cleaned with a soft cloth moistened only with a few
drops of water or glass cleaner.
In Case of Trouble
If you suspect a problem with your CSE 6.1, first turn off your power amplifier and check all
your connections. Another component or even a defective hookup cable may cause the trouble.
In rack mounted systems, ground loops and hum will often develop via ground loops caused
by redundant grounding of the metal rack rails of the equipment rack. This problem is usually
solved with nylon insulating shoulder washers (refer to the Rack Mounting section in this
owner’s manual).
If All Else Fails
Call your Parasound dealer or Parasound Technical Service Department. We can usually
suggest other diagnostic tests you can easily perform. If we determine that your CSE 6.1
should be returned to Parasound or an Authorized Parasound Warranty Center for inspection
and possible servicing, call Parasound for the location of a warranty center near you or
shipping instructions for return to Parasound.
Returning your CSE 6.1 to Parasound for Service
If we determine that you should send your CSE 6.1 to Parasound, you will need to obtain a
Return Authorization (RA) number. The RA number must be clearly marked on the outer
carton only. Ship the unit with adequate insurance and a copy of your purchase receipt
inside to validate your warranty. You must provide an original purchase receipt from an
Authorized Parasound Dealer for warranty repair. Units purchased from unauthorized dealers
are not eligible for warranty repair. Units that arrive without an RA number, without a suitable
shipping carton or with evidence of improper internal packing materials may be refused. We
do not accept collect shipments. After repair under warranty, the unit will be returned to you
via prepaid UPS within the Continental United States.
In the case of a non-warranty repair, contact us and we will advise you of the repair charges
before you ship the unit to us. The same packing and Return Authorization number
requirements apply.
