Scope
This Service Manual in intended to apply to all versions
of the CT-200B amplifier including the Amcron version.
The Parts Listings include parts specific for the US
version and the European version (CT-200BE13). For

bers.
This Service Manual includes several sections. These
sections include Parts Information, Specifications, Volt-
age Conversion, Circuit Theory, Electrical Test Proce-
dures, Non-Module Parts Lists, and Module Parts
Lists. Schematics are attached. Note that component
parts with circuit board comprise a complete module.
Module part numbers are always associated with a
specific circuit board, although an unpopulated circuit
board may be built up with different parts to create
different modules. Note that Crown does not sell blank
(unpopulated) circuit boards.
Each of the compact audio power amplifiers are de-
signed for professional or commercial use. Providing
high power amplification from 20Hz to 20KHz with
minimum distortion, they feature balanced inputs with
bridged and parallel monophonic capability. Specific
features vary depending on model family.
