warranTY
Crown offers a Three-Year, No-Fault, Fully Transferable Warranty
for every new Crown amplifier—an unsurpassed industry
standard. With this unprecedented No-Fault protection, your
new Crown amplifier is warranted to meet or exceed original
specifications for the first three years of ownership. During this
time, if your amplifier fails, or does not perform to original
specifications, it will be repaired or replaced at our expense.
About the only things not covered by this warranty are those
losses normally covered by insurance and those caused by
intentional abuse. And the coverage is transferable, should you
sell your amplifier.
See your authorized Crown dealer for full warranty disclosure
and details. For customers outside of the USA, please contact
your authorized Crown distributor for warranty information or
call 574-294-8200.
