TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Your Parasound P 3 Preamplifier requires no periodic maintenance and has no user-serviceable
parts inside. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not remove the top cover. The P 3’s
exterior can easily be cleaned with a soft cloth pre-moistened only with a few drops of
water or glass cleaner.
