Keeping Records for Future Reference 

Record the 5 digit serial number located on the bottom side of your Zcd in the space below. Also 
note your Parasound Dealer’s name and telephone number. Your purchase receipt/bill of sale is 
required to determine if your Zcd is eligible for Parasound warranty service. We recommend that 
you make an extra copy of your original purchase receipt/bill of sale and store it inside the Zcd’s 
carton.  

Please do not throw away the carton or foam packing inserts.

carefully, as Parasound will not provide service under our warranty and you will need to depend

dealer or is stolen merchandise. If this unit is missing its serial number or the serial number has 
been altered, you should return it to your dealer immediately for a full refund.
