AC Power and Control
AC Power Input a
Your P5 Series 2 is configured at the factory for the proper AC line voltage in
the country where you purchased it (either 120 volts AC or 230 volts AC with
a line frequency of either 50 Hz or 60 Hz). The AC line configuration is noted
on a decal on the back panel.
NOTE:Shouldyoumoveyourunit toanothercountry, itmaybepossibleto
reconfigureit foruseona different linevoltage.Donot attempttoperform
this conversion yourself. Opening the enclosure of the unit exposes you
to dangerous voltages. Consult a qualified service person or the Michi
factory service department for information.
NOTE: Some products are intended for sale in more than one country
and as such are supplied with more than one AC cord. Please only use
the one appropriate for your country/region.
The P5 Series 2 should be plugged directly into a 3-pin polarized wall outlet.
Do not use an extension cord. A heavy duty multi-tap power outlet strip may
be used if it (and the wall outlet) is rated to handle the current demanded by
the P5 Series 2 and all the other components connected to it.
If you are going to be away from home for an extended period of time such as
amonth longvacation,it isa sensibleprecautiontounplug theP5 Series2 (as
well as other audio and video components) while you are away.

Troubleshooting
Most difficulties in audio systems are the result of incorrect connections, or
improper control settings. If you encounter problems, isolate the area of the
difficulty, check the control settings, determine the cause of the fault and
make the necessary changes. If you are unable to get sound from the P5
Series2, refer to the suggestions for the following conditions:
Power Indicator Is Not Illuminated
Thefrontpowerindication willbe illuminatedanytime theunitisconnectedto
AC power and the rear power switch is set to the ON position. The indication
willbe REDforstandbymode andWHITE innormal operation.If theindication
is not illuminated, test the power outlet with another electrical device, such
as a lamp. Be sure the power outlet being used is not controlled by a switch
that has been turned off. And check all AC power including the rear power
switch to ensure the unit is receiving power.
Fuse Replacement
If another electrical device works when plugged into the power outlet, but
the Power Indicator still will not light when the P5 Series2 is plugged into the
wall outlet, it indicates that the internal power fuse may have blown. If you
believe this has happened, contact your authorized Michi dealer to get the
fuse replaced.
No Sound
Check the signal source to see if it is functioning properly. Make sure the
cablesfromthe signalsourceto theP5Series2 inputsareconnected properly.
Check all the wiring between the P5 Series2 and the power control amplifier,
and the speakers.
Cannot Connect via Bluetooth
If you cannot pair your Bluetooth enabled device to the amplifier, delete the
memory of the previous connection on your device. On your device this is
often listed as “Forget this Device”. Then try to make the connection again.
