CP660

 Six Channel Amplifier

Reference Manual

4 Operation

4.1 Precautions

The

 CP660 amplifier is protected from internal and external

faults, but you should still take the following precautions for
optimum performance and safety:

1. Improper wiring for the Bridge-Mono and Dual modes

can result in serious operating difficulties. Refer to
Section 3.3.1 for details.

 

 2. WARNING:  Do  not  change  the  position  of  the

Dual/Mono  switches  unless  the  amplifier  is  first
turned off.

3. Use care when making connections, selecting signal

sources and controlling the output level. The load you
save may be your own!

4. Do not connect input and output ground leads to-

gether. Ground loops and oscillations may result.

5. Operate the amplifier from AC mains of not more than

10% above or below the selected line voltage and
only the specified line frequency.

  6. Never connect the output to a power supply out-

put, battery or power main.

 Electrical shock may re-

sult.

7. Tampering with the circuitry by unqualified personnel,

or making unauthorized circuit changes may be haz-
ardous and invalidates all warranties.

Remember: Crown is not liable for damage that results from
overdriving other system components.

4.2 Indicators

The front panel of a 

CP660 amplifier has several helpful

indicators. The green 

Power indicator

 

shows that the am-

plifier has been turned on (or enabled).

The yellow 

Clip indicators

 turn on when distortion is au-

dible on the amplifier output of the corresponding channel.

The green 

Signal indicators

 show the presence of signal

at the corresponding loudspeaker connection.

The red 

Temp

 LED will turn on when the temperature of

the amplifier gets too high and the fan is in full-speed
operation mode. If the maximum operating temperature
is exceeded, this light remains on while the amplifier
cools down.

4.3 Protection

The

 CP660 amplifier is protected against shorted, open or

mismatched loads; overloaded power supplies; exces-
sive temperature, chain destruction phenomena, input
overload damage and high-frequency blowups. They also
protect loudspeakers from input/output DC and turn-on/
turn-off transients.

Turn On:

 

The four-second turn-on delay prevents danger-

ous turn-on transients.
