WARRANTY:
Your ESD is covered against defects in material and workmanship.
Refer to your supplier for more details.
SERVICE:
In the unlikely event that your ESD develops a problem, it must be returned to an authorised
distributor, service centre or shipped directly to our factory. Because of the complexity of the design
and the risk of electrical shock, all repairs must be attempted only by qualied technical personnel.
If the unit needs to be shipped back to the factory, it must be sent in its original carton. If improperly
packed, the unit may be damaged.
To obtain service, contact your nearest KV2 Audio Service Centre, Distributor or Dealer.
