Maintaining your TDQ-150
Your TDQ-150 requires no periodic maintenance and has no user serviceable parts inside. To keep it
clean use only a soft cloth and never use any solvents or abrasives. Fingerprints may be removed with
a soft cloth moistened only with a few drops of clear water. The remote control handset batteries should
be removed whenever it will be unused for an extended period. Remove the battery cover annually to
inspect and remove leaking batteries.
Power Fuse
If this fuse blows, it is an indication of internal parts failure. Do not replace it with any larger value to
avoid damage to internal parts. Substitution of a larger fuse will void your warranty.
In Case of Trouble
If you are experiencing problems with your TDQ-150, please refer to the troubleshooting chart below.

If All Else Fails...
Call your Parasound dealer or Parasound Technical Service Department. We can suggest other diagnostic
tests you can easily perform. If we determine that your tuner should be returned to Parasound or an
Authorized Parasound Warranty Center for inspection and possible servicing, we will provide the
location of a warranty center near you or shipping instructions for return to Parasound.
Returning Products to Parasound for Service
Before you send your TDQ-150 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. Warranty repairs will only
be performed by Parasound or authorized warranty centers on units where your purchase receipt is from
an Authorized Parasound Dealer or Parasound Reseller. 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 RA number requirements apply.
