7. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat
reg isters, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that
produce heat.
9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or groundingtype plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than
the other. A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third
grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong is provided
for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet,
consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, par-
ticularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where
they exit from the apparatus.
11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufac-
turer.
12. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified
by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is
used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination
to avoid injury from tip-over.
13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused
for long periods of time.
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is
required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way,
such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been
spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus
has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
15. Use the mains plug to disconnect the apparatus from the mains.
16. WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC
SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPARATUS TO RAIN OR
MOISTURE.
17. DO NOT EXPOSE THIS EQUIPMENT TO DRIPPING OR
SPLASHING AND ENSURE THAT NO OBJECTS FILLED
WITH LIQUIDS, SUCH AS VASES, ARE PLACED ON THE
EQUIPMENT.
18. THE MAINS PLUG OF THE POWER SUPPLY CORD SHALL
REMAIN READILY OPERABLE.

TO COMPLETELY DISCONNECT THIS EQUIPMENT FROM THE AC MAINS, DISCONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY CORD PLUG FROM THE AC RECEPTACLE. THE MAINS
PLUG OF THE POWER SUPPLY CORD SHALL REMAIN READILY OPERABLE.
CAUTION! Do not locate sensitive high-gain equipment such as preamplifiers directly above or below the
unit. Because this amplifier has a high power density, it has a strong magnetic field which can induce hum
into unshielded devices that are located nearby. The field is strongest just above and below the unit.
If an equipment rack is used, we recommend locating the amplifier(s) in the bottom of the rack and the
preamplifi er or other sensitive equipment at the top.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
CAUTION: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there
is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more
of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

2.2 安装功放
NOTE: Before you begin, make sure your amplifier is disconnected from the power source, with
the power switch in the “off” position and all level controls turned completely down (counterclockwise).
Use a standard 19-inch (48.3 cm) equipment rack. See Figure 2.2 for amplifier dimensions. You may also stack amplifiers
without using a cabinet.
NOTE: Amplifiers should be supported at both the front and rear of the rack.
2.3 Ensuring Proper Cooling
When using an equipment rack, mount units directly on top of each other. Close any open spaces in rack with blank panels.
Do not block front or rear air vents. The back of the rack should be open.

2.4 Wiring to the CXM2000 Monitor and Crossover System
It is recommended to use the XLC Series amplifiers with the Crown CXM2000 Monitor and Crossover System. Figure 2.4
and figure 2.5 are the samples of wiring XLC amplifiers to the CXM2000 in bi-amplified cinema speakers system and
passive cinema speakers system through cables. This allows the CXM2000 to send the audio signals to and receive signals
from the XLC amplifiers for crossover, fault detection and monitor functions. More details about the wiring, please read the
Operation Manual of the CXM2000 Monitor and Crossover System.
Please see figure 2.6 for the HD-15 pin definition.

2.5 Alternative: Choosing Phoenix Connectors as Input Connectors
Besides connecting the XLC amplifiers to the CXM2000 through HD-15 connector, you can also connect to other input
devices through the phoenix connectors on its rear panel. Crown recommends using pre-built or professionally wired
balanced line (two-conductor plus shield), 22-24 gauge cables and connectors (see Figure 2.7). Unbalanced lines may be
used, but may result in hum or RF noise over long cable runs.
NOTE: Custom wiring should only be performed by qualified personnel.
Crown recommends using pre-built or professionally wired, high-quality, two-conductor, heavy gauge speaker wire and
spade lug connectors or bare wire for your output connectors (Figure 2.8). To prevent the possibility of short-circuits, wrap
or otherwise insulate exposed loudspeaker cable connectors.
Non-Touch cover provides protection of electric shock from the output terminals. Remove it to connect the cables to the
output terminals and reinstall it when finish. To reinstall it, insert tab A into the slot right beside the output terminals (see
figure 2.9). Put the screw through tab B and screw it into the hole left beside the output terminals (see figure 2.9).
Below are the suggested guidelines to select the appropriate size of wire based on the distance from amplifier to speaker.
Distance WireSize
up to 25 ft. 16 AWG
26-40 ft.14 AWG
41-60 ft.12 AWG
CAUTION: Never use shielded cable for output wiring.
NOTE: Custom wiring should only be performed by qualified personnel. Class 2 output wiring is required.
Typical input and output stereo wiring is shown in figure 2.10. If you need to know which frequence (high, middle or low)
that the Channel 1 or Channel 2 corresponds to, please refer to the appendix in the operation manual of CXM2000.
1. Set the Mode Switch to Stereo (1-OFF, 2-OFF).
2. Connect Channel 1 loudspeaker’s positive (+) lead to Channel 1 positive (red) terminal of amp; repeat for negative
(-). Repeat Channel 2 wiring as for Channel 1.
2.7.2 Parallel Mode
Typical input and output bridge wiring is shown in figure 2.11.
1. Set the Mode Switch to Parallel (1-ON, 2-OFF).
2. Connect Channel 1 loudspeaker’s positive (+) lead to Channel 1 positive (red) terminal of amp; repeat for negative
(-). Repeat Channel 2 wiring as for Channel 1.
