3 Troubleshooting
CONDITION: No power to the mixer-amplifier.
POSSIBLE REASON:
• The mixer-amplifier’s Power switch is off.
• The mixer-amplifier is not plugged into the power receptacle.
• The mixer-amplifier’s high-voltage power supply circuit breaker has tripped, or the fuse has opened on 220/230/240V models. Verify that the AC mains voltage is correct, then press the
Reset button on the back panel.
• If the unit is operated from a 24V DC supply, the internal fuse may have opened. (The power switch has no effect on 24V operation.)
CONDITION: Distorted sound.
POSSIBLE REASON:
• Input signal level is too high. Turn down your input volume controls. NOTE: Your mixer- amplifier should never be operated at a level which causes the Clip LEDS to illuminate constantly.
• Master volume level is too high. Turn it down to about 3/4 of maximum level.

Commercial Audio Series Mixer-Amplifiers
CONDITION: No sound.
POSSIBLE REASON:
• The amplifier is in “fault” mode. A Fault status can be triggered when one of the amplifier’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 amplifier 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, check the fuse and replace if necessary, or return mixer-amp to Crown or an authorized Crown Service Center for servicing.
• No input signal.
• Input signal level is very low.
