In Topic: Problemen with CDi4000 / service manual
14 May 2013 - 09:28 AM
This is a first for me! Have been repairing these units for years and I've not seen this behavior before. A lot of SMPS issues, some output and tracker faults, easy to fix once you know the symptom. Have you verified the tracker components?

Take a look at the Amplifier Discussion forum, most specifcally, 'XTi / Band Manager strangeness' and report back if the 'strangeness' resembles a bit what you art experiencing.

Welcome and hello Patlover!
The amp should be muted until the Ready indicators light up.
* Have you the latest firmware updated?
* As for the service manual, you can enquire with the Crown Technical department. Just send them a request via email.
It is not a BIAS issue; But may be related to a MUTE issue.
I've also seen defective rail switching issues causing similar symptoms (normally, the amp would shut down before completing bootup).
What is the serial number or date code of the amp?

Just food for thought: If I had a speaker rated at a 1000W (program), I would try to get an amp that can drive twice the rated (program) power, for headroom purposes. Since the speaker will sound fantastic at its full capacity, I would hate to have an amp that would start clipping (distort) at the rated (program) power; Hence twice the needed (program) power.
(I'm not considering impedance at this point, just power.)
Also, use a correct AC source! These amps can operate on '15A' but may choke on so low amperage. Use a 20A AC source or better!
Furthermore, if you were to hear a terrible grinding, grounding, sound coming from the amp's power supply, use a higher amperage source: The amp is being choked, not enough current!
