Console Disassembly

Though you shouldn’t have to disassemble the console, it is necessary to remove modules to change the jumper and switch set- tings associated with the internally selectable options. The following steps detail the tasks involved when taking the console apart.

ONE • Open the armrest.

To properly remove one or many modules, the black painted armrest must first be opened. To do this, the two thumb- screws (see diagram at right) must be loosened from below. Once these screws are loose, slide both of them a few inches to the side (they will only move in one direction). Once the screws have been moved the armrest will easily roll back exposing the module screws beneath.

TWO • Remove front module screw

Once the armrest has been opened, there will be a single screw at the front edge of the module panel holding each module in place. Remove the screw from the module(s) you want to remove.

THREE • Remove rear screws

On the back panel of the console there are two screws holding each module in place (see diagram at right) Remove both screws from each module you wish to remove.

FOUR • Lift the module(s) out

As you lift the module out of the chassis three wires must be detached before the module can be completely removed: 2 flat-wires (ribbon cables) and one ground wire.

The flat-wires are removed by flipping the latches on the ends of the connectors. Once the tabs have been flipped the connec- tor should pull off easily.

The ground wire (green) is a spade lug which pulls off.

FIVE • Putting it all back together

Re-assembling a Century Series console is as easy as taking it apart, but only if you know where everything goes. If you are going to be removing a number of modules, consider replacing the first before removing the second. Reversing the above steps should result in the console being as well put together as it was when it left the factory.

IMPORTANT

Group, Left, and Right modules are pre-assigned at the Crest factory

These modules must always be installed in the correct positions. They are NOT interchangeable without being properly re-

assigned. Please contact the Crest Audio Service Department for more information.
