Do not ship your Zphono XRM to Parasound without a Return Authorization (RA) 
number provided by our technical department. 

Before you send your unit to Parasound, 

you will need to obtain a specific Return Authorization (RA) number and shipping instructions 
from Parasound’s Technical Department. The RA number must be clearly marked on the 
outer carton. Use the original factory packing materials and arrange adequate insurance to 
cover its replacement value. You must include a copy of your purchase receipt, since this 
document establishes the validity of this unit’s warranty. Warranty repairs are only performed 
by Parasound or Parasound Authorized warranty centers when your purchase 
receipt is from a Parasound Authorized Dealer or Parasound Authorized Reseller.

 Please do not ship to Parasound by the USPS (US Postal Service) - we
