•
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.
• Note correct polarity (positive and negative orientation) when connecting the power supply cord. Reversed
polarity connections will cause damage to the amplifier.
• System units (except remote microphones) are designed exclusively to be mounted in an equipment rack.
Be sure to observe the following instructions 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 power cord of the DC power supply panel for the units to an AC outlet, ensure that
the total load current never exceeds the AC outlet's allowable current capacity.
· The supplied rack-mounting screws can be used for the TOA equipment rack only. Do not use them for
other racks.
• (Applicable to VX-2000DS only)
Note correct polarity (positive and negative orientation) when connecting the power supply cord. Reversed
polarity connections will cause damage to the system.
When the Unit is in Use
• (Applicable to VP-2064, VP-2122, VP-2241, and VP-2421 only)
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.
• Use the specified power supply unit for the system. Note that the use of other power supply unit may cause
a fire.
• (Applicable to VX-2000DS only)
Make sure to observe the following handling precautions so that a fire or personal injury does not result from
leakage or explosion of the battery.
· Do not short, disassemble, heat nor put the battery into a fire.
· Avoid using both new and old batteries together.
· Never charge batteries of the type which are not rechargeable.
· Do not solder a battery directly.
· Be sure to use the specified type of batteries.
· Note correct polarity (positive and negative orientation) when connecting a battery to the unit.
· Avoid locations exposed to the direct sunlight, high temperature and high humidity when storing batteries.
• (Applicable to RM-200SF and RM-200SA only)
Have the unit checked periodically by the shop from where it was purchased. Failure to do so may result in
corrosion or damage to the unit or its mounting bracket that could cause the unit to fall, possibly causing
personal injury.
• (Applicable to VX-200PS only)
Contact your TOA dealer as to the cleaning. If dust is allowed to accumulate in the unit over a long period of
time, a fire or damage to the unit may result.

3. SYSTEM SUMMARY
TOA's SX-2000 series Matrix systems are input and output signal routing processing systems that function as
the core for multi-channel general-purpose broadcast systems, and are designed for use in such locations as
shopping centers, department stores and shop/store complexes. The SX-2000 systems are designed to
distribute remote microphone outputs, automatic guidance broadcasts, background music, and sounds from
other connected sources to power amplifiers via an audio signal/control signal matrix with 16 digital busses
using pre-determined conditions and priorities.
The SX-2000 system allows 3 types of broadcasts to be made: General-purpose broadcast such as general
paging and BGM, Emergency broadcast that the emergency messages are to be broadcast by an automatic
announcement device or remote microphone, and General urgency all-call broadcast* that is to be made
available even during system malfunctions or failures.
The dedicated software is used to perform all necessary settings related to the entire system operation and
functions including system configurations, input-to-output signal routing, function assignment to the operation
keys, operation of the control terminals, and selection of the failure detection points.
* Available when an analog link is connected.

4. SYSTEM FEATURES
• Emergency broadcasts can be implemented by using the settings made among 32 EV messages, 4
Emergency Sequences, and 128 Emergency Broadcast Patterns.
• Using the dedicated software program, functions such as broadcast start conditions, broadcast channels
(input sound source signal routing), and broadcast priorities can be set with no need to change equipment
connections.
• Surveillance function that continuously monitors such status at the major points from input to output of the
system as each unit operation, cable connections or communications between the units, and power supply,
and that alerts the operator by indicators, buzzer, or contact outputs in the event of operation error or
equipment malfunctions.
• Backup batteries assure the system operation during power failures.
• Local audio inputs are provided for the SX-2100AO, enabling local broadcast to be made from each SX-
2100AO.
• General urgency broadcasts can be made even during system malfunctions or failures (when Analog Link
connection is made).
• System equipment operation logs and failure logs are recorded on a CF card and can be confirmed on a PC
screen.
• Input and output equipment, such as broadcasting sound sources (including remote microphones and BGM
players) and amplifiers can be combined, depending on their types and quantities, for most appropriate
system configuration. The system can be designed for a minimum configuration of 2 inputs and 8 outputs,
expandable up to 64-input/256-output*1configuration in units of 2 inputs or 8 outputs.
