C4630 SE HOME AUDIO SYSTEM

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Sonance C4630 SE Home Audio

System. The C4630 SE lets you listen to any of four different audio sources in up to six different rooms (zones) at the same time. When programmed with the included Sonance Control Manager programming software and used with available Sonance keypad controllers and the available IR remote control, the C4630 SE gives you easy, logical control of both the system’s audio sources and the sound in each room. The Control Manager software even lets you program the C4630

Figure 1: C4630 SE Home Audio System

SE with macros that allow complex functions (like turning the system ON, selecting a source, setting the volume and other audio parameters and starting the music in a specific room) to be accomplished with a single button push. There is also a

“PARTY MODE” that gives you control of the whole house from a single location, and a Paging function for communication between rooms. For more sophisticated systems, the C4630 SE has an RS-232 communications port that can integrate it with whole-home control systems that control such things as lights, temperature and security systems.

The C4630 SE is controlled by C4630 SE Main and Numeric Keypad Controllers (available separately). These keypads can accept Sonance FSMR1 or MR1 IR receivers (also available separately) that will let you use the optional IR remote to control the C4630 SE. The IR remote can also be used with stand-alone IR receivers like the Sonance SMR1 Surface-Mount IR

Receiver and the CR1 Cabinet-Mount IR Receiver. The C4630 SE can also be controlled by the Sonance Navigator ® K2 LCD keypad and the Navigator K1 keypad and can be serial-controlled by 3rd-party control systems via its RS-232 connection.

C4630 SE HOME AUDIO SYSTEM

Box Contents

Your C4630 SE Home Audio System box should contain the following items:

(1) Sonance C4630 SE Home Audio System

(2) Rack-mount ears

(1) IEC Power cord (115V version only)

(6) Removable 4-Wire Speaker Connectors

(1) USB Connection Cable

(1) Sonance Control Manager software CD-ROM

Unpacking

Save the shipping carton and polystyrene inserts so you can safely transport your C4630 SE in the future. Before you install the C4630 SE, locate the serial number on the rear panel and note it here for future reference:

S/N: _______________________

Placement

The C4630 SE should be installed at the main termination of all audio system wire and cable runs. The system’s source components (CD player, iPort™/iPod ® , music server, satellite radio receiver, etc) should also be installed at this location.

The C4630 SE may be placed on a shelf in a wall unit in a media room or rack-mounted in a 19” standard equipment rack in a dedicated equipment room. When determining the location for the system components consider having access to the system for loading CDs, DVDs and other media. You should also make provisions for easy access if the components should require service.

Ventilation and Airflow

The C4630 SE must be placed in a location that will allow sufficient airflow for ventilation. Leave space above the unit, per the safety instructions, to allow the unit to “breathe” through the vent holes on the top and bottom of the unit. Blocking the vent holes will inhibit airflow through the unit and can cause damage to the C4630 SE. If necessary, install a fan to maintain enough airflow to ensure adequate convection cooling.

Be sure to leave plenty of room for wire and cable. The amount of wire used in this type of installation can quickly fill the empty space around the C4630 SE and act as a thermal insulator. This can create an undesirable thermal condition that could cause the unit to shut down. Leaving extra room for wire and cable is also a good idea if you ever want to upgrade the system or if it ever needs service.

General Placement Guidelines

• Keep the C4630 SE out of direct sunlight and away from windows that could let in rain.

• Place the C4630 SE away from heat sources such as hot air ducts or radiators.

• Do not place the C4630 SE directly on carpet that could interfere with airflow into its bottom vent openings.

• If you stack your components, it is better to place the C4630 SE above or alongside your other components.

When driven hard, the C4630 SE creates heat that can affect components stacked on top of it.

Rack-Mounting

When rack-mounting the C4630 SE, leave sufficient space between the unit and other components in the rack to allow proper airflow for ventilation. Sonance recommends using a rack vent spacer above the unit to improve airflow.

Use the included rack-mount adaptors to rack-mount the C4630 SE. Use the four chassis screws already secured to each side of the C4630 SE to attach the rack adaptors. The C4630 SE chassis has been specially designed to provide support when using the rack adaptors. The adaptors have also been designed to match the C4630 SE’s front panel for a clean, professional look.

System Overview

The C4630 SE Home Audio System has features and capabilities that will meet the demands of an extremely wide variety of applications. It can be a simple background music system, ser ve as the preamp/controller for a powerful foreground music system, or it can be integrated as a sub-system in a complex whole-house automation and control package. Understanding the C4630 SE’s features and capabilities is one of the keys to creating a great system.

In all stages of system design and installation you should plan ahead. Put the entire design down on paper so you can verify all aspects of it before beginning the installation. With a system that can literally leave holes in the walls if something hasn’t been properly planned or tested, we recommend setting-up, programming and testing the system’s components as they will be used before actually performing the installation. This will help insure that the system will work as designed and that you have all the necessary parts and components on hand prior to beginning the installation.

Always plan for system expansion in terms of both size and flexibility. Anticipating system expansion by carefully planning what the initial installation is going to be and what the system requirements might be as upgrades are incorporated can save you time, money and aggravation.

Control Considerations

The C4630 SE has no control or IR capability on its own — it must be used with the C4630 SE Main Keypad or other available Sonance keypads. External IR receivers must be connected to the C4630 SE for the optional IR remote to operate. The C4630 SE Main Keypad has a built-in holster that can accommodate a Sonance FSMR1 or MR1 IR receiver

(see page 19). When planning your system be sure to include all of your control needs along with your audio requirements.

Head End Considerations

Reserve as much space as possible for the C4630 SE and source components — an equipment closet with rear access to the components is ideal. At the very least, reserve enough space in the equipment rack or wall unit to properly install all components, leaving plenty of room for wire, ventilation, possible future expansion and room to work.

Zone Considerations

(continued from page 8)

What is the performance requirement for each zone? Some zones may only require a keypad controller and speakers.

Some may need an additional IR receiver. One may need a more flexible keypad and a high-power amplifier. A master suite may require a multi-channel amplifier to distribute audio to the bedroom, bathroom and patio. One or more zones may have local devices that need to be incorporated into the system for control, audio or video. The C4630 SE can be used with several different Sonance keypad controllers and IR receivers, so you can select the ones that are best for each zone.

2. Connect the source components to the Source Inputs on the P RIMARY C4630 SE as described above.

3. For each source that you want to feed to the S

Speaker Connections

UTTIIO N:: AAllw cchhaannggiinngg ssoouurrccee oorr ssppeeaakkeerr ccoonnnneeccttiioonnss..

Use Good Speaker Wire

For the best sound you should never use thin-gauge speaker wire – it will constrict the sound and diminish bass response.

We recommend that you use premium Sonance MediaLinQ speaker cable, which also complies with UL fire rating codes. You may also experiment with audiophile brands of speaker cable, but be sure to check local codes governing wire that may be installed within walls or ceilings. Use at least 18 AWG speaker wire for runs up to 50’, at least 16 AWG for runs up to 100’ and at least 14 AWG for runs up to 250’.

Wiring the Speaker Connectors

The C4630 SE’s speaker outputs are rated for 8-ohm nominal speakers.

1. Run speaker wire from each speaker to the controller location. We recommend that you mark each wire’s positive (‘+’) and negative (‘–’) leads, its channel (left or right) and which zone it is from so that you can connect it to the proper speaker terminals.

2. Strip no more than ¼” of insulation from each speaker lead. Twist the strands or tin the exposed wire with solder to ensure that there are no stray strands. (Stray strands that touch each other or touch the controller chassis can cause a short-circuit that can damage the amplifier.)

3. The C4630 SE has six removable 4-wire speaker connectors (one for each zone) that can accept wire up to 14AWG. The connector features set screws that secure the wires.

4. Insert the exposed portions of the speaker wires into the terminal openings. Make sure to insert the ‘+’ and ‘–’ leads into the correct openings, as shown in Figure 5.

5. After making sure that there are no stray wires touching each other, tighten the set screws to secure the wires, as shown in Figure 6, on page 13.

6. Press the removable connector into the corresponding zone S

PEAKER

O

UT connector on the controller until it locks into place (see Figure 6).

• The removable connectors will only fit one way on the controller.

Zone Line Output Connections

In addition to Speaker Output connectors, each zone on the C4630 SE also has a set of

Line Output jacks (see Figure 6). The Zone Line Outputs let you connect high-power amplifiers to individual zones that require more power than the C4630 SE’s built-in

30 Watt/ch amplifier can provide, or expand a zone into sub-zones by using a multichannel amplifier.

Line Output Fixed/Variable Switch

Each zone Line Output has a push-button switch that toggles the Line Output between

V

ARIABLE

(OUT) and F

IXED

(IN). (See Figure 6.) The V

ARIABLE setting allows zone keypad and remote controllers to control the level of the Line Outputs. In the F

IXED setting the Line

Output level cannot be varied. Keypad and remote control M

UTE controls function in both the F

IXED and V

ARIABLE settings.

NOTE: Setting a zone’s output to Fixed disables the following Sonance Control Manager Zone Setup

features for that zone: Default Volume, Maximum Volume, Page Volume, Balance, Bass, Treble. See pages 29 and 30.

Connecting a High-Power Amplifier in a Zone

1. Set the zone’s Variable/Fixed Output switch to the V

ARIABLE

(OUT) position.

2. Connect a stereo RCA cable from the appropriate Zone Line Outputs on the C4630 SE to the high-power amplifier’s input connectors (see Figure 7, on page 14). The V

ARIABLE setting allows the zone’s volume to be controlled by the C4630

SE via a keypad or a properly-programmed IR remote.

Using a Multi-Channel Amplifier for Sub-Zone Expansion

1. Set the zone’s Variable/Fixed Output switch to the F

IXED

(IN) position.

2. Connect a stereo RCA cable from the appropriate Zone Line Outputs on the C4630 SE to the multi-channel amplifier’s

Bus input connectors (see Figure 8, on page 14). For example, an 8-channel amplifier like the Sonamp 875D SE will let you put four speaker pairs in the zone. The F

IXED output setting allows the C4630 SE’s Mute function to mute all four sub-zones. Volume for each pair of speakers in each sub-zone is controlled by an in-wall volume control.

3. Connect the Control Out on the C4630 SE to the External Control input on the sub-zone amplifier (if available) to automatically power-up the external amp when any zone on the C4630 SE is ON.

NOTE: The C4630 SE can also turn connected amplif iers ON and OFF via serial control. See page 40.

The C4630 SE Main and Numeric Keypads can be mounted in standard single or double J-box enclosures or P-rings.

NOTE: Do NOT mount the C4630 SE ke ypads in the same electr ical box with AC house wir ing, light switches, or any other high-voltage device or control. The ke ypads can share gang boxes with each other, or with other controls such as A/B speaker switches, infrared receivers and volume controls, if these other devices are rated as Class 2 devices according to the National Electr ical Code.

The C4630 SE keypads should typically be located near the entrance to a room, similar in height and location to a light switch (see Note, above). If an optional IR receiver is installed in the Main Keypad (see below), care should be taken to avoid placing the keypad near windows or areas that get direct sunlight that could interfere with IR receiver operation.

If this is not possible, you should locate the IR receiver away from the keypad.

Avoid mounting keypads in locations that will be exposed to moisture, such as near sinks, showers or bathtubs. If you want to install keypads outdoors, only install them in a covered area with an appropriate weather-proof box.

Main Keypad IR Receiver Holster

The Main Keypad does not feature a built-in IR receiver: it has a holster designed to receive a Sonance FSMR1 Full-Spectrum IR Receiver

(part #92222) or MR1 Micro IR Receiver (part #91344), both available separately (see Figure 15). A window on the front of the keypad allows the IR receiver to function. IR talkback is through the Z

ONE

OFF button.

If the Main Keypad is mounted in a location that creates interference from sunlight when the IR receiver is installed in its holster, you can move the

IR receiver to another location in the room and still wire it to the keypad.

NOTE: IR receivers must be connected to the keypads to allow the optional IR remote to control the C4630 SE and to allow source component remotes to control their respective source components from inside the listening zones.

Installing an IR Receiver into the Keypad

1. Insert the IR receiver into the keypad holster as shown in Figure 15A.

Feed the ribbon cable through the opening in the holster.

2. Carefully insert the holster into the keypad as shown in Figure 15B. The IR receiver’s photodiode should be directly behind the keypad’s IR window.

Sonance Control Manager Software

The C4630 SE comes with a CD-ROM containing the Sonance Control Manager programming software that lets you program all of the C4630 SE’s operational and sonic parameters. In addition to adjusting each zone’s sonic performance you can also program the buttons on keypad controllers to perform individual functions and to combine literally dozens of different functions into macros that can be triggered by a single keypad button push.

NOTE: In addition to programming the C4630 SE, the Sonance

Sound Enhancement

The C4630 SE incorporates BBE ® Sound Enhancement. The BBE process improves the presence and detail of speakers, especially at lower listening volumes, improving the sound quality of your music — especially distributed audio systems playing background music. BBE is also effective at compensating for compressed sources, such as MP3 audio files, and for poor-quality source material.

Four rear-panel switches let you turn the BBE enhancement ON and OFF individually for each of the C4630 SE’s four sources (see Figure 40).

Programming C4630 SE Keypad Macros

All commands executed by the C4630 SE Main and Numeric Keypads must be programmed into the the buttons as macros.

Even the Main Keypad functions that operate “out-of-the-box” (see page 23 and Note 4, below) are actually macros that have been factory-programmed into the buttons. Macros can range in complexity from single C4630 SE internal functions all the way to extremely sophisticated procedures that involve C4630 SE internal commands, IR commands to various system components, timing delays, RS-232 commands and conditional instructions.

Macro Command Types

Command From Library (IR Commands)

The C4630 SE uses IR commands sent from its C

The C4630 SE comes with its IR R

P

ROGRAMMED

IR signals out of all four of the C

OMMON

IR output jacks in addition to their respective P

ROGRAMMED

IR output jacks. This will work in most whole-home audio systems, allowing source components to receive macro commands along with IR commands from their own remotes that are passed-on through keypad IR sensors.

In a system that has duplicate same-make/same-model source components, routing macro IR commands out of the C

OMMON

IR outputs will cause both of those components to respond to all macro commands for that component. If you want to retain individual control of the components in macros you will need to connect IR emitters to two P

ROGRAMMED

IR outputs and create separate macro commands for each component, with those commands routed to individual P

ROGRAMMED

IR outputs for each component.

Modifying the IR Library

To add new remotes or change commands in existing remotes you should first create a U

Editing IR Commands in the User IR Library

The commands in the U

SER

IR library will almost always work without editing. However, to get some commands to work you may need to rename a particular function or change its IR carrier frequency, the number of times it is repeated or its sustain characteristic. You can do this in the IR Library Manager window.

To edit an IR command for a particular remote:

Edit Tab

1. Click on that remote in the left-hand window of the

IR L IBRARY M ANAGER screen.

Figure 48:

IR Library Manager E

DIT

Tab

2. Click on the E

DIT tab. The remote’s functions will appear in the main part of the screen (see Figure 48).

You can change the remote function’s name (not its IR code), its IR frequency, the number of times it is repeated each time a button is pressed and whether it is to be repeated while the button is held-down. Click on the parameter you want to change to highlight it and type-in the new value (for R

EPEAT

, check or un-check the box).

NOTE: Typically there should be no reason to change any of these parameters. A component may not respond to an IR code if you alter any of these parameters to incor rect values.

Adding IR Codes to the User IR Library with the OptiLinQ ® IR Learner

On occasion, there may be a particular component or command that is not in the U

C4630 SE HOME AUDIO SYSTEM

ZZoonnee:: Assigns the C4630 SE Internal Command to a particular zone.

You can assign commands to any zone being controlled by a particular

C4630 SE, or to all zones.

depending on which Function is selected.

Once you have configured the Function, Unit, Zone and Value parameters for the Internal Command, drag the icon into the Macro Window to place it in a macro (see Figure 54).

Status Test

If you want a macro command to execute only if a certain condition exists, add a Status Test command before the command in question. The following conditions can be used to determine if a macro executes: This

Zone Is ON, This Zone Is Muted, Source 1 Is Selected, Source 2 Is

Selected, Source 3 Is Selected, Source 4 Is Selected, Any Zone Is ON,

Page Trigger Is Set.

To insert a Status Test command, select the desired condition and drag the icon into the Macro Window (see Figure 55).

Time Delay

Some audio/video components respond to IR commands more quickly than others. Adding a

Time Delay after a macro command can give a component additional time to process the command and perform the required action before the next IR command in the macro sequence is sent. This can be especially useful when sending commands to multi-disc CD and

DVD changers that can take several seconds to retrieve and load a selected disc. Adding a Time

Delay command after a ‘disc select’ or ‘disc play’ command can help keep the system in sync.

To insert a Time Delay into a macro, select or type the desired delay amount and drag the icon into the Macro Window (see Figure 56). You can set a delay of 0.1 seconds up to 240 seconds.

Controlling the C4630 SE via RS-232 (Inbound Serial Control)

In addition to issuing RS-232 commands in macros to control other audio/video components, the C4630 SE’s audio functions can also be controlled via RS-232 commands issued by an RS-232 capable control device (serial control).

NOTE: The C4630 SE is capable of one-directional ser ial operation (either

INBOUND

OR

OUTBOUND

)

ONLY. Placing a single RS-232 command in any macro will automatically conf igure the C4630 SE as an

Inbound Serial Control of C4630 SEs in Multi-Unit Systems

In systems with multiple C4630 SE units, serial commands in the above format will only control the C4630 SE unit to which the serial control device is directly connected. However, all of the serial commands in the above table can also be used to control any C4630 SE in a system with more than one unit, where the serial control device is connected to one ‘Master’

C4630 SE and all of the ‘Slave’ C4630 SEs are connected via their S

YNC connections (see page 16).

Multi-unit commands have the same format as the single-unit commands, with the addition of the C4630 SE’s Unit ID number (see page 27) inserted between the opening colon (:) and the command letter.

For example, the V

OLUME

U

P command for Zone 1 in a single-unit system would be:

The V

OLUME

U

P command for Zone 1 of Unit 3 in a multi-unit system would be:

C4630 SE Status Queries

C4630 SE status queries follow the same format as the serial commands, except that the S

ETTING is replaced with a question mark character (?). The response from the C4630 SE will consist of a plus sign (+) followed by the parameter being checked, the zone (if applicable) and the current setting.

Using the C4630 SE with Sonance Navigator

®

K2 and K1 Programmable Keypads

The C4630 SE is also compatible with Sonance Navigator K1 and K2 keypads. These programmable keypads provide additional capability for zones that require more sophisticated control than the C4630 SE Main and Numeric keypads offer.

NOTE: For detailed K1 and K2 programming instr uctions please refer to the documentation that is available for those ke ypads.

Wiring K2 and K1 Keypad Connections

Sonance K1 and K2 keypads connect to the C4630 SE the same way as the C4630

SE Main Keypad:

1. In direct runs from keypad to controller, pull a length of CAT5 wire from every keypad mounting location to the C4630 SE location. The maximum length of any single CAT5 cable connecting a K1 or K2 to the C4630 SE is 250’.

2. Terminate each CAT5 cable with RJ45 connectors on one end. Follow the TIA 568B wiring standard (see Figure 66).

3. Connect the CAT5/RJ45 cable to the zone’s Keypad Controller Port on the C4630 SE

(see Figure 67) and to the multi-pin connector on the back of the keypad. Refer to the keypad instructions for details about wiring to the keypad.

Powering K2 Keypads

The K2 keypad requires more current than the C4630 SE Main/Numeric Keypad combination does. You need to take special care when using these keypads to ensure there is adequate current to properly run all connected keypads.

C4630 SE HOME AUDIO SYSTEM

Using C4630 SE Internal Macros with K1/K2 Programmable Keypads

Unlike the C4630 SE Main and Numeric Keypads, the K1 and K2 keypads can store and execute their own macros in addition to triggering macros stored in the C4630 SE. Since the C4630 SE will only output one set of IR commands at a time, you must use time delays to ensure that only one set of macro commands executes at a time. For example, if a K2’s keypad macro includes a command that triggers a C4630 SE internal macro, once the K2 sends the command to execute the C4630 SE macro, the C4630 SE will issue its own macro from start to finish and will not pass any of the K2’s IR macro commands until it is finished.

To assure that there is no conflict between keypad and C4630 SE macros Sonance recommends building all macros in the

C4630 SE and using the keypad only as a trigger device. If you must combine C4630 SE macros with K1/K2 keypad macros, you can minimize the chances of conflicts by:

• Grouping all C4630 SE internal macro commands together and grouping all K1/K2 keypad macro commands together.

• Having the keypad trigger the C4630 SE’s internal macro last.

• Delaying the start of the K1/K2 macro long enough to ensure that the C4630 SE internal macro completes executing before the keypad macro begins.

Getting System Configuration Information

The Sonance Control Manager can generate a System

Configuration Report containing all of the system information and all of the programming information for each device in the system. This report can be a great help when confirming that a system has been properly programmed before turning it over to a client, or when troubleshooting a system that may not be working as expected.

Generating a System Configuration Report

1. Confirm that the Sonance Control Manager program has been uploaded with the latest configuration information from all system devices by uploading the configuration information from each C4630 SE to the computer: a) Connect the computer to the C4630 SE’s USB port.

b) Launch the Sonance Control Manager software.

c) Open the C

Finding RS-232 Commands in Macros

As stated on page 42, the C4630 SE is capable of serial operation in one direction only, either inbound OR outbound. Placing a single RS-232 command in one macro will automatically configure the C4630 SE for outbound serial operation — the unit will not respond to inbound commands from a connected serial control device.

To allow the C4630 SE to become an inbound serial device that will respond to commands from a connected serial control device you must remove all RS-232 commands from all C4630 SE macros. The System

Configuration Report allows you to see every command in every

C4630 SE macro, making it easier to delete all RS-232 commands.

As you scroll-through the macros in the System Configuration Report,

RS-232 macro commands will appear as shown in Figure 73.

If your product should need repair or service, contact your Sonance Authorized Dealer for help, or use the following procedure:

1. Prior to calling Sonance, note the product’s model number, serial number, purchase date, and the name and address of the dealer where you purchased the product.

2. Contact our Technical Assistance Department at the above number(s) and describe the problem the unit is experiencing.

If they determine that the product requires service, they will transfer you to our Customer Service Department, who will issue you a Return Authorization (RA) Number.

3. If you’re directed to return the unit to Sonance for repair, pack the unit in its original shipping carton. If needed, you can obtain replacement packaging from us for a small charge. Note: it is best if you place the box into an additional outer “overcarton” before shipment to minimize a chance of theft in shipment. Please include a copy of the original bill of sale inside the package.

4. Contact a package delivery service such as United Parcel Service or Federal Express to arrange prepaid (not collect) shipping. Do not use the U.S. Postal Service.

6. Ship the packaged unit to:

Limited Warranty Coverage (U.S.A. Only)

Sonance warrants to the original retail purchaser only that this Sonance product will be free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of five (5) years, provided the product was purchased from a Sonance Authorized Dealer.

Defective products must be shipped, together with proof of purchase, prepaid insured to the Authorized Sonance Dealer from whom they were purchased, or to the Sonance factory at the address listed on this instruction manual. Freight collect shipments will be refused. It is preferable to ship this product in the original shipping container to lessen the chance of transit damage. In any case, the risk or loss or damage in transit is to be borne by the purchaser. If, upon examination at the factory or Authorized Sonance Dealer, it is determined that the unit was defective in materials or workmanship at any time during this warranty period, Sonance or the Authorized Sonance Dealer will, at its option, repair or replace this product at no additional charge, except as set forth below.

If this model is no longer available and can not be repaired effectively, Sonance, at is sole option, may replace the unit with a current model of equal or greater value. In some cases where a new model is substituted, a modification to the mounting surface may be required. If mounting surface modification is required, Sonance assumes no responsibility or liability for such modification. All replaced parts and product become the property of Sonance. Products replaced or repaired under this warranty will be returned to the original retail purchaser, within a reasonable time, freight prepaid.

This Warranty does not include service or parts to repair damage caused by accident, disaster, misuse, abuse, negligence, inadequate packing or shipping procedures, commercial use, voltage inputs in excess of the rated maximum of the unit, or service, repair or modification of the product which has not been authorized or approved by Sonance. This Warranty also excludes normal cosmetic deterioration caused by environmental conditions. This Warranty is in lieu of all other expressed warranties. If the product is defective in materials or workmanship as warranted above, the purchaser’s sole remedy shall be repair or replacement as provided above. In no event will Sonance be liable for any incidental or consequential damages arising out of the use or inability to use the product, even if Sonance or a Authorized Sonance Dealer has been advised of the possibility of such damages, or for any claim by any other party.

Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of consequential damages, so the above limitation and exclusion may not apply. All implied warranties on the product are limited to the duration of this expressed Warranty. Some states do not allow limitation on the length of an implied warranty. If the original retail purchaser resides in such a state, this limitation does not apply.

EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS

The warranty set forth above is in lieu of all other warranties, express or implied, of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or otherwise. The warranty is limited to Sonance products registered herein and specifically excludes any damage to loudspeakers and other allied or associated equipment which may result for any reason from use with this product. Sonance shall, in no event, be liable for incidental or consequential damages arising from any breach of this warranty or otherwise. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may have other rights which vary from state to state.
