Maintaining Your AVC-2500

In Case of Trouble

Call your Parasound dealer or Parasound Technical Service Department. We can suggest other diagnostic tests you can easily perform. If we determine that your amplifier should be returned to Parasound or an Authorized Parasound Warranty Center for inspection and pos- sible servicing, call Parasound for the location of a warranty center near you or shipping instructions for return to Parasound.

Returning your AVC-2500 to Parasound for Service

If we determine that you should send your AVC-2500 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 sets 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 Return Authorization number requirements apply.
