IN

CASE

OF

DIFFICULTY:

If

you

suspect

a

problem

with

one

of

your

Model

601s,

please

take

a

few

minutes

of

your

time

to

determine

whether

the

defect

is

in

your

Model

601

or

in

some

other

portion

of

your

high-fidelity

system.

If

one

speaker

sounds

less

brilliant

than

the

other,

make

cer-

tain

the

Symmetry

Control

is

firmly

seated

in

the

correct

position.

If

one

speaker

sounds

defective,

do

not

switch

the

speaker

cables,

as

this

may

damage

the

speaker.

Instead,

discon-

nect

the

defective

speaker's

wire

at

the

amplifier

output

and

reconnect

to

the

amplifier

channel

operating

correctly.

If

the

speaker

system

that

sounded

defective

now

plays

correctly,

the

difficulty

is

not

in

the

speakers

or

in

the

speak-

er

wiring.

If

the

trouble

appears

in

both

speakers,

connect

your

Model

601s

to

another

amplifier

that

is

operating

properly.

If

the

speakers

now

operate

correctly,

the

defect

is

not

in

the

speaker

system.

If

the

trouble

persists

in

one

or

both

speakers,

contact

your

dealer.

He

will

verify

the

defect

and

will

arrange

for

service

at

one

of

our

factory

-authorized

service

agencies,

or

by

the

BOSE

factory.

BOSE

Corporation

will

make

every

effort

to

remedy

any

problem

within

the

terms

of

the

warranty

at

minimum

inconvenience

to

you.

C.

CARE

AND

MAINTENANCE

Your

601

speaker

cabinets

are

made

with

an

oil

-rubbed

wal-

nut

veneer

finish.

Any

good

grade

of

furniture

polish

used

for

wood

finishes

can

be

used

in

normal

dusting

and

clean-

ing;

however,

to

maintain

the

beautiful

appearance

of

your

601s,

we

suggest

occasionally

rubbing

the

cabinet

with

lin-

seed

oil.

The

grille

cloths

generally

require

no

care,

al-

though

they

may

be

carefully

vacuumed

if

necessary.
