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.
9.1 Worldwide Service
Service may be obtained from an authorized service
center. (Contact your local Crown representative or our
office for a list of authorized service centers.) To obtain
service, simply present the bill of sale as proof of pur-
chase along with the defective unit to an authorized
service center. They will handle the necessary paper-
work and repair.
Remember to transport your unit in the original factory

Service may be obtained in one of two ways: from an
authorized service center or from the factory. You may
choose either. It is important that you have your copy of
the bill of sale as your proof of purchase.

you may prepay the cost of shipping, and Crown will
reimburse you. Send copies of the shipping receipts to

Factory Service Shipping Instructions:
1. When sending a Crown product to the factory for
service, be sure to fill out the service information
form that follows and enclose it inside your unit’s
shipping pack. Do not send the service informa-
tion 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 pack-
ing material will not be sufficient to withstand 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.
