We are confident that you will receive many years of trouble free operation from your unit.  If 
however you experience any technical problem with your SOC1.1, contact your dealer or 
Buzz Audio for recommendations on what to do.  The modular nature of the SOC 
construction means most electronic faults can be easily repaired by swapping the circuit 
board.
