damage which could result from mishandling. Before operating your product, read this manual first and
understand the safety symbols and messages so you are thoroughly aware of the potential safety hazards.
When Installing the Unit
• Do not expose the unit to rain or an environment where it may be splashed by water or other liquids, as
doing so may result in fire or electric shock.
• Use the unit only with the voltage specified on the unit. Using a voltage higher than that which is specified
may result in fire or electric shock.
• Do not cut, kink, otherwise damage nor modify the power supply cord. In addition, avoid using the power
cord in close proximity to heaters, and never place heavy objects -- including the unit itself -- on the power
cord, as doing so may result in fire or electric shock.
• Be sure to replace the unit's terminal cover after connection completion. Because high voltage is applied to
the speaker output terminals, never touch these terminals to avoid electric shock.
• Avoid installing or mounting the unit in unstable locations, such as on a rickety table or a slanted surface.
Doing so may result in the unit falling down and causing personal injury and/or property damage.
• External wiring connected to the terminals marked with requires installation by an instructed person.
• The apparatus shall be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing connection.
• L'appareil doit être branché à une prise d'alimentation avec mise à la terre de protection.
• The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and the plug shall be easily accessible.
• Use the optional Rack mounting bracket MB-25B when mounting the unit in an equipment rack. Remove
four M4 x 8 screws on both sides of the unit, and mount the bracket there using the M4 x 16 screws
(supplied with the bracket) instead.
When the Unit is in Use
• Should the following irregularity be found during use, immediately switch off the power, disconnect the power
supply plug from the AC outlet and contact your nearest TOA dealer. Make no further attempt to operate the
unit in this condition as this may cause fire or electric shock.

power cord connected to the outlet may cause damage to the power cord, resulting in fire or electric shock.
When removing the power cord, be sure to hold its plug to pull.
• Do not block the ventilation slots in the unit's cover. Doing so may cause heat to build up inside the unit and
result in fire.
• Avoid installing the unit in humid or dusty locations, in locations exposed to the direct sunlight, near the
heaters, or in locations generating sooty smoke or steam as doing otherwise may result in fire or electric
shock.
• To avoid electric shocks, be sure to unplug the unit's power supply cord when connecting speakers.
• Be sure to follow the instructions below when rack-mounting the unit. Failure to do so may cause a fire or
personal injury.
· Install the equipment rack on a stable, hard floor. Fix it with anchor bolts or take other arrangements to
prevent it from falling down.
· When connecting the unit's power cord to an AC outlet, use the AC outlet with current capacity allowable to
the unit.
· No rack-mounting screws are supplied with the unit. Separately prepare the appropriate screws for the
rack.
• Keep the amplifier over 10 cm (3.94") away
from objects that may obstruct air flow to
prevent the unit's internal temperature rise.
When the Unit is in Use
• Do not place heavy objects on the unit as this may cause it to fall or break which may result in personal
injury and/or property damage. In addition, the object itself may fall off and cause injury and/or damage.
• Make sure that the volume control is set to minimum position before power is switched on. Loud noise
produced at high volume when power is switched on can impair hearing.
• Do not operate the unit for an extended period of time with the sound distorting. This is an indication of a
malfunction, which in turn can cause heat to generate and result in a fire.
• If dust accumulates on the power supply plug or in the wall AC outlet, a fire may result. Clean it periodically.
In addition, insert the plug in the wall outlet securely.
• Switch off the power, and unplug the power supply plug from the AC outlet for safety purposes when
cleaning or leaving the unit unused for 10 days or more. Doing otherwise may cause a fire or electric shock.
