You can edit the following items related to the priority broadcast on the browser for each trigger. Designated audio signals can be muted in the case of normal broadcast that is not activated by any trigger. For details, refer to the separate setup manual, which can be downloaded from the TOA DATA Library (https://www.toa-products.com/international/). Item...
15.3. Emergency Broadcast You can set the priority broadcast with the highest priority level to the emergency broadcast. When set to the Emergency broadcast, the broadcast is made at the maximum level regardless of the set values of the master volume, software master volume, and remote master volume*. Also, the chime is sounded at the maximum volume, and the characteristics of the EQ, tone control, and bass control are made flat.

Only in the following case, the power is ON in the period that only the audio detection input is present. When the control input and the audio detection input with higher priority overlap, the power remains ON until the audio detection input is terminated after all control inputs are opened.
