CAUTION:
TO PREVENT THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE ANY FRONT/BACK COVERS OR
PANELS. NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
The lightning flash with an arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended
to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s
enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to
persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the
presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the product.
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
WARNING:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPARATUS TO RAIN
OR MOISTURE.
SOUND WARNING:
Avoid hearing damage by establishing safe listening volumes. Listening to this product at high volumes
or for extended time periods may cause permanent hearing loss. Protect your hearing by establishing
safe volumes. Start with the volume setting control at its lowest setting. Slowly increase the volume until
you can hear it comfortably and clearly without distortion. Reduce the volume or stop listening if you
experience ringing in your ears or any discomfort. Consult with a physician if needed.

AVP100 can be set up in one of four options. Utilizing multiple options simutaneously may
cause issues and damage to the amplifier. Please ensure the polarity of speaker wires are
correctly matched and connected.
Note:
1. Please make sure that the power is turned off during speaker installation. When the power is on,
there may be a risk of electric shock.
2. Please ensure the sum of the power and impedance load of the speakers connected does not
exceed the specified range of the amplifier. Ideally, the total power load doesn't exceed 80% of the
rated output power of the amplifier.
Operation: Option 4: 4-zone 70v output (can be used in any combination of the 4 zones)

Switching the power on and off in quick sucession may cause device failure.
Troubleshooting
Symptom Cause & Solution
1. Power does not turn on. 1. Power source is disconnected or cut.
2. Protection mode is activated.
4. Volume is low.
5. Sound is distorted. 1. Input level of microphone or external device is too high.
2. Volume level is too high.
2.No sound output.
1. No power is connected.
2. Fuse is blown and needs to be replaced.
3. Volume is turned off completely.
4. No active input.
5. MIC1 (priority) is plugged in but inactive.

3. Sound suddenly stops or is
intermittent during playback.
1. Protection mode is activated due to overheating.
Please wait a few minutes to restart.
2. Poor or broken wire connection.
1. A high-impedance loudspeaker (4-16Ω) is connected to
a low-impedance (70v/100v) output.
2. MIC1 is plugged in but inactive.
