Important
Playback Levels
PCWorks FourPointSurround is
intended for individual or small
group listening and will achieve
surprisingly high output levels.
However, playing the system
continuously at overly loud,
distorted levels on heavy bass
program material may cause its
internal fuse to blow.
The fuse can be replaced only by
a qualified representative. To avoid
this inconvenience and a possible
non-warranty repair charge,
reduce the playback volume when
the system shows obvious signs of
stress, i.e. it sounds raspy,
fuzzy, and/or muddy.
