AEV è molto interessata ai Vostri commenti sui prodotti. I Vostri suggerimenti
ci saranno utili per la realizzazione di nuove apparecchiature e dei manuali,
questo sarà di grande utilità anche per Voi! Se lo desiderate potete inviarci
qualsiasi tipo di informazione sui prodotti e noi saremo ben lieti di leggerle.
Le informazioni possono essere inviate tramite E-mail all' indirizzo:
[email protected], o per posta all'AEV SERVICE.
Se avete la necessità di avere spiegazioni tecniche, contattate l'AEV
SERVICE e preparateVi per essere chiari nella descrizione del Vostro problema.
Scrivetevi il numero di matricola del Vostro apparato che potete trovare sulla
targhetta AEV attaccata al dispositivo, in quanto questa è la prima informazione
che dovete fornire.
Telefono: 39+051+6634711 Fax: 39+051+6634700
In caso di problemi che dovessero insorgere all'installazione dell'apparato, vi
raccomandiamo di verificare attentamente le spiegazioni contenute in questo
manuale e la corretta installazione. Se non siete ancora in grado di risolvere il
problema, contattate il supporto tecnico AEV SERVICE, per avere chiarimenti.
Se il problema è semplice può essere sufficiente una spiegazione telefonica. In
caso di spedizione all'AEV dell'apparecchio, per riparazione o manutenzione,
lo stesso può essere accettato dal SERVICE AEV solo dopo che Vi è stato
comunicato il numero di autorizzazione al rientro RMA. Questo numero deve
essere inserito nella documentazione di spedizione. Vi raccomandiamo inoltre
di allegare all'apparato una spiegazione dettagliata del difetto riscontrato o
del tipo di manutenzione richiesta ed eventualmente il nome della persona con
cui si è parlato all'AEV SERVICE. AEV non accetterà materiale in riparazione
con oneri di trasporto a proprio carico, in questo caso il materiale sarà
rifiutato.
In caso di spedizione dell'apparecchiatura all'AEV, utilizzate esclusivamente
l'imballo originale poichè solo in questo caso avrete la certezza che
l'apparecchiatura non subirà shock nel trasporto. Se non avete conservato
l'imballo originale vi consigliamo di richiedercene un'altro.Se volete spedirci
l'apparato con un imballo diverso, abbiate cura di effettuare un doppio
imballo, tra i due interponete del materiale morbido, questo serve ad assorbire
i colpi che vengono ricevuti durante il trasporto.
Riportate sul pacco in rosso la parola: FRAGILE.Ricordate che il numero
RMA deve essere visibile anche sul pacco, in caso contrario non verrà
accettato.

Technical Support
The equipment is warranted for a period of 2 years from the date of invoice
(ex-works). The warranty does not cover faults provoked by carelessness,
natural causes and parts subject to wear. In addition, the cost of labour and
shipment is not covered. The warranty will be voided if the equipment is
mishandled.
AEV welcomes your comments on our products. Your suggestions may
be extremely useful to develop new equipment and manuals and this will be of
benefit to you too! Let us have your comments on our products and we will
be pleased to read them.
Send your information by e-mail to the following address: [email protected], or
send a letter to the AEV SERVICE Department.
If you require technical support, contact AEV SERVICE giving a clear
and concise account of your specific problem. Quote the serial number of your
equipment by referring to the AEV nameplate attached to the equipment itself
as this is the most important piece of information to be provided.
Telephone: 39+051+6634711 Fax: 39+051+6634700
If problems arise while the equipment is being installed, consult this manual
and check that the installation is being carried out properly. If the problems
still cannot be solved, call the AEV SERVICE Department for further
information. If the problem is a minor one we can a telephone call will
probably suffice. If, on the other hand, the equipment is to be shipped to AEV
for service or repairs, the AEV SERVICE Dept. will accept it only if the RMA
return authorisation number has been provided. This number must be included
in the shipping documents. We also recommend providing a detailed
description of the fault which has occurred, the type of service needed and (if
required) the name of the employee at the AEV SERVICE Dept. you have
spoken to. No repairs will be made if the cost of shipment is charged to AEV.
In this case, we will not accept the delivery.
When shipping the equipment to AEV, use the original package in order
to be certain that it will be fully protected during handling. If you need the
original package, call us for a new one. If you ship the equipment in a
different packing container, take care to provide a double package by
interposing padding material between the two containers in order to fully
protect the equipment during shipment. The package should be marked
"FRAGILE" in red.
Remember that the RMA number must be clearly visible on the package. If it is
not, the equipment will not be accepted.

Note that:
- The hot centre pin of the "EXTERNAL" BNC input (MPX or stereo inout) is physically in parallel to
the "+ input" signal (pin 3) on the mono/right channel XLR socket. For this reason it's not possible to
use both inputs at the same time.
On the left side of the panel are located the mains power switch, the power cord and an earth screw for
a separated earthing system as well as the ground conductor on the cord. Should an over-current
condition take place, the power switch would trip and stop the device.
