5 Troubleshooting
CONDITION: No sound.
POSSIBLE REASONS:
The amplifier has just turned on and is still in
the 4-second turn-on delay.
The amplifier is in “fault” mode. A Fault status
can be triggered when one of the amplifier’s
protection circuits is activated. First disconnect
your speakers from the affected channel (s) one
by one to determine if one of the loads is
shorted. If the indicators return to normal sta-
tus, then try a different speaker or cable to
determine where the short is occurring. If no
short can be found, turn off the amp and allow
the amp to cool. If indicators do not return to
normal after restarting your amp, check the fuse
and replace if necessary, or return amp to
Crown or an authorized Crown Service Center
for servicing.
