MA-i Series Power Amplifiers
7 Service
Crown amplifiers are quality units that rarely
require servicing. Before returning your unit for
servicing, please contact Crown Technical Sup-
port to verify the need for servicing.
Warranty is only valid within the country in
which the product was purchased.
This unit has very sophisticated circuitry which
should only be serviced by a fully trained techni-
cian. 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 servicing to a quali-
fied technician.
