PSB Speakers Platinum Series Speaker User Manual


 
Cabinet Care
Cabinets have varying materials and finishes, including wood veneers and painted cast anodized aluminum parts. They
should be treated as you would any fine furniture with similar finishes. Dust lightly with a soft cloth; avoiding abrasives.
If necessary, wipe carefully with a cloth slightly dampened with glass cleaner to remove heavy soil.
Grilles and Ports
A lint brush does a good job of cleaning grilles. Grilles can be taken off and vacuumed if you prefer. If need be, you
can use a lint brush to clean ports. Avoid touching speaker diaphragms. Particularly, pushing in the aluminum dome of
the tweeter will cause permanent damage.
In Case of Problems
A. Lower volume if a speaker begins to sound distorted or seems to be missing certain frequencies, to check first to
see whether playing at somewhat lower volume seems to clear up the problem. As we noted under
“Recommended Power,” it can be especially important to turn down the volume right away if you have pushed a
low-powered amplifier or receiver past its comfortable limits.
B. Isolate the problem to the electronics or the speakers and, if the speakers, to specific speakers. Interchange the
speaker wire connections on your amplifier or receiver between channels, so that the left speaker is connected to
the right channel, or vice versa. If the problem shifts to the other speaker, the problem is not in the speaker but
in the electronics.
C. Another component—or, very often, a cable or connection problem between components—may be at fault. If
the problem stays in the same speaker, irrespective of the channel to which it’s connected—and after changing
the connecting wire—the speaker itself probably needs service.
D. See your dealer if you require service. PSB dealers are equipped to handle almost all problems. If you have
moved since your purchase, the nearest authorized PSB dealer should be able to help you. You may locate your
nearest PSB authorized dealer on-line at www.psbspeakers.com/r/list.html. If the problem is not resolved,
please contact us, providing the Model name, Serial Number, date of purchase, dealer name, and a full description
of the problem.
We appreciate your purchase, and hope this owner’s guide helps you enjoy the exceptional satisfaction that PSB speaker
systems have to offer. We wish you many years of enjoyable listening!
