Crown’s Three-Year, No-Fault, Fully Transferable
Warranty
Crown offers a Three-Year, No-Fault, Fully Transferable War-
ranty for every new Crown amplifier—an unsurpassed indus-
try standard. With this unprecedented No-Fault protection,
your new Crown amplifier is warranted to meet or exceed
original specifications for the first three years of ownership.
During this time, if your amplifier fails, or does not perform
to original specifications, it will be repaired or replaced at our
expense. About the only things not covered by this warranty
are those losses normally covered by insurance and those
caused by intentional abuse. And the coverage is transferable,
should you sell your amplifier. See your authorized Crown
dealer for full warranty disclosure and details.
For customers outside of the USA, please contact your au-
thorized Crown distributor for warranty information or call
574-294-8200.
