GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Warranty Information:

Thank you for choosing a Bryston product. We welcome any suggestions you may have, or comments regarding the operation of your am- plifier. We consider you, our customer, to be Brystons’ most important resource, and your opinion is very much appreciated.

Bryston products are warranted to be free from manufacturing defects for a minimum of 20, (twenty), years from the original date of manu- facture. This includes all parts, labor and one- way return shipping. This warranty covers the original owner and any subsequent owners. The warranty is retroactive for any Bryston product purchased within the last twenty years.

Tampering by anyone other than factory author- ized personnel voids the warranty. Warranty service may be obtained by returning the unit to any authorized Bryston dealer or distributor. You may also contact the Bryston factory or na- tional service offices directly at the location listed on the rear page of this manual.

Please keep the original box and all packing material. This will ensure the amplifier is pro- tected in the unlikely event you have a problem and must return it for service. No warranty card is necessary to initiate your coverage. Please refer to the back page for more detailed war- ranty information.
