Service and Owner's Manuals  
Service Manuals and Owner's Manuals

Service Manuals are not Owner's Manuals.

Service Manuals  contain schematics, wiring diagrams, parts lists, board layouts, and in many cases, normal operating voltages and adjustment procedures. They are intended for repair people and the technically-adept. Each manual contains every bit of technicial documentation I could find. Most are quite comprehensive. Ones for earlier models are less so.   They are available for most Counterpoint components. The cost is U.S. $75 per manual + shipping (see below).  Schematics are not available separately.

Please note that some of the very early products have rather poor documentation, having been designed before Counterpoint had CAD programs. Here is the service manual for the SA-2, the first product I did for Counterpoint. It is only four pages with scribbles on them. Download it for free, here (pdf). You'll need the free Adobe Acrobat Reader software to view it.

Owner's Manuals are what Counterpoint shipped with all products. They include operating and connecting information, warranty information, and specifications. They were intended for the owner and do not contain schematics or other repair information. 

Photocopies of Owner's Manuals for all Counterpoint components are available for U.S. $45 + shipping (see below).
