Servicing
Because of its careful design and exacting standards
of manufacture, your Reference 10 should require no
routine maintenance. The remote control’s batteries
(AAA) should be replaced once a year.
CAUTION: Your Reference 10 contains sufcient
levels of voltage and current to be lethal. Do not
tamper with a component or part inside the unit.
Refer any needed service to your authorized Audio
Research dealer or other qualied technician.
The vacuum tubes inside your Reference 10 are
quality tubes and with normal use should not need
to be changed for approximately 4,000 hours of use.
Replacement tubes should be of equivalent quality
and are available from Audio Research. Note that
tube numbers (V1, V2 etc.) match printed numbers
next to tube sockets on circuit board.
Should service be necessary, please contact your
Audio Research dealer, or Audio Research Customer
Service at 763-577-9700.
Cleaning
To maintain the new appearance of this unit,
occasionally wipe the front panel and top cover with
a soft, damp (not wet) cloth to remove dust. A mild,
non-alkaline soap solution may be used to remove
ngerprints or similar smudges. Cleaners containing
abrasives should not be used as they will damage
the anodized nish of the front panel. A small, soft
paintbrush is effective in removing dust from bevels,
the recessed nameplate and other features of the
front panel.
