Operation Manual

Crown amplifi ers are quality units that rarely require servicing. Before returning your unit for servicing, please contact Crown 
Technical Support to verify the need for servicing.

Warranty is only valid within the country in which the product was purchased.

This unit has very sophisticated circuitry which should only be serviced by a fully trained technician. This is one reason why 
each unit bears the following label:

CAUTION: To prevent electric shock, do not remove covers. No user serviceable parts inside. Refer 
servicing to a qualifi ed technician.

Complete the Crown Audio Factory Service Information form, in the back of this manual, when returning a Crown product 
to the factory or authorized service center. The form must be included with your product inside the box or in a packing slip 
envelope securely attached to the outside of the shipping carton. Do not send this form separately.

Worldwide Service

Service may be obtained from an authorized service center. (Contact your local Crown/Amcron representative or our offi ce 
for a list of authorized service centers.) To obtain service, simply present the bill of sale as proof of purchase along with the 
defective unit to an authorized service center. They will handle the necessary paperwork and repair.

Remember to transport your unit in the original factory pack.

US and Canada Service

Service may be obtained in one of two ways: from an authorized service center or from the factory. You may choose either. It is 
important that you have your copy of the bill of sale as your proof of purchase.

Service at a US or Canada Service Center

This method usually saves the most time and effort. Simply present your bill of sale along with the defective unit to an 
authorized service center to obtain service. They will handle the necessary paperwork and repair. Remember to transport the 
unit in the original factory pack. A list of authorized service centers in your area can be obtained from Crown Factory Service, 
or online from http://www.crownaudio.com/support/servcent.htm.
