5 Service

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 ser-
vicing to a qualified technician.

authorized service center. They will handle the neces-
sary paperwork and repair.

ceipts. You must bear the expense of all taxes, duties,
and customs fees when transporting the unit.

1. When sending a Crown product to the factory

for service, be sure to fill out the service infor-
mation form that follows and enclose it inside
your unit’s shipping pack. Do not send the ser-
vice information form separately.

2. To ensure the safe transportation of your unit to

the factory, ship it in an original factory packing
container. If you don’t have one, call or write
Crown’s Parts Department. With the exception
of polyurethane or wooden crates, any other
packing material will not be sufficient to with-
stand the stress of shipping. 

Do not use loose,

small size packing materials.

3. Do not ship the unit in any kind of cabinet (wood

or metal). Ignoring this warning may result in ex-
tensive damage to the unit and the cabinet. Ac-
cessories are not needed—do not send the
instruction manual, cables and other hardware.

If you have any questions, please call or write the
Crown Technical Support Group.

Always use the
original factory pack
to transport the unit.
