Crown’s Three-Year, No-Fault, Fully Transferable Warranty
Crown offers a Three-Year, No-Fault, Fully Transferable Warranty for every new Crown amplifier
product—an unsurpassed industry standard. With this unprecedented No-Fault protection, your
new Crown amplifier product is warranted to meet or exceed original specifications for the first
three years of ownership. During this time, if your unit 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 unit.
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.

The Crown®PIP™-USL module is designed
to integrate Crown amplifiers into cinema
audio systems installed in cinemas, studio
production and post-production environments.
The PIP-USL installs into the back of
Crown PIP2™-compatible amplifiers, saving
rack space and simplifying system wiring.
The HD15 connector on the PIP-USL is
designed for quick and easy interface with pop-
ular cinema monitor products such as the USL
CM-680.
The module accepts signal for surround or sub-
woofer channels, or bi-amp signals for screen
channels, from the cinema processor.
You must have a PIP2-compatible amplifier to
use the PIP-USL. To determine if your amplifier
is PIP2-compatible, look for the logo
on the back of the amplifier. The PIP-USL is not
compatible with older Crown PIP amplifiers.
For more details about the PIP-USL, contact
the Crown Technical Support Group at
800-342-6939 or 574-294-8200. Also, visit the
