CONDITION: Power indicator is 
off.
POSSIBLE REASON
• The amplifier has lost AC power.
• The amplifier’s Power switch is off.
• The amplifier is not plugged into the 
power receptacle.
• The amplifier output level is so high that 
the power supply circuit breaker has 
tripped. Allow the unit to cool. Turn down 
the Level controls. Press the Reset Switch 
on the back panel.
CONDITION: Power indicator is
flashing.
POSSIBLE REASON:
• The AC line voltage has dropped below 
25% or has risen above 15% of the nomi-
nal line voltage of the power supply.
CONDITION: Thermal indicator is 
on.
POSSIBLE REASON:
• The amplifier is becoming too hot for safe 
operation. Allow amplifier to cool. Check 
for loads less than 2 ohms, and for 
excessive input levels. Check for proper 
ventilation and proper mode-switch set-
ting. 
CONDITION: Fault indicator is 
flashing.
POSSIBLE REASON:
• The amplifier channel has stopped operat-
ing.  Refer the unit to an authorized Crown 
Service Center.
CONDITION: Distorted sound.
POSSIBLE REASON:
•  Load is wired incorrectly or Stereo/Mono 
mode switch is set incorrectly.  Check both.
• Input is overlaoded by a signal level that is 
too high. Turn down your amplifier level 
controls, or turn down the input signal, until 
the clip light goes out.
Note: If the signal sounds distorted even though 
the Clip LED is off, the input signal may be dis-
torted before it reaches the amplifier input. Check 
gain staging and output levels of the mixer or 
preamp.
