ply circuit breaker has tripped. Verify that the

CONDITION: No sound.
POSSIBLE REASON:
• The amplifi er is in "fault" mode. A Fault status
can be triggered when one of the amplifi er's
protection circuits is activated. First disconnect
your speakers from the affected channel(s)
one by one to determine if one of the loads is
shorted. If an amplifi er channel has a thermal
fault, there will be no indication on the front
panel, but the amp will recover after cooling.
If operation does not return to normal after
restarting your amp, press the Reset button
on the back of the unit. If that does not work,
return the unit to Crown or an authorized Crown
Service Center for servicing.
CONDITION: No sound.
POSSIBLE REASON:
• No input signal.
• Input signal level is very low.
