8. Service and Repair
If your system malfunctions, you should attempt to correct or isolate the trouble before concluding
that the equipment needs repair. Make sure you have followed the setup procedure and operat
ing instructions. Check out the interconnecting cords and then go through the TROUBLE SHOOT
ING section in the manual
We strongly recommend that you
do not
try to repair the equipment yourself and
do not
have the
local repair shop attempt anything other than the simplest repair. If the repair is more compli
cated than a broken wire or loose connection, send the unit to the factory for repair and service.
Don’t attempt to adjust any controls inside the units. Once set at the factory, the various controls
and trimmers do not drift with age or vibration and never require readjustment.
There are no
adjustments inside that will make a malfunctioning unit start working
.
The AKG service department is equipped and staffed to quickly repair your equipment. In-war
ranty repairs are made at no charge in accordance with the terms of the warranty. Out of war
ranty repairs are charged at a modest flat rate plus parts and shipping. Since it takes almost as
much time and effort to determine what is wrong as it does to make the repair, there is a charge
for an exact quotation. We will be happy to quote approximate charges by phone for out of
warranty repairs.
9. Returning Units for Repair
You will save yourself time and trouble if you will follow the steps below:
A.
DO NOT return equipment to the factory for repair without first contacting us by letter or by
phone. We need to know the nature of the problem, the model number and the serial number
of the equipment. We also need a phone number where you can be reached 8 am to 4 pm
(Mountain Standard Time).
B.
After receiving your request, we will issue you a return authorization number (R.A.). This number
will help speed your repair through our receiving and repair departments. The return authoriza
tion number must be clearly shown on the outside of the shipping container.
C.
Pack the equipment carefully and ship to us, shipping costs prepaid. If necessary, we can
provide you with the proper packing materials. UPS is usually the best way to ship the units.
Heavy units should be “double-boxed” for safe transport.
D.
We also strongly recommend that you insure the equipment, since we cannot be responsible for
loss of or damage to equipment that you ship. Of course, we insure the equipment when we
ship it back to you.
