Why is there no sound output from my Toa Speakers even when playback is started?
- J
  jamie64Aug 19, 2025
  If there's no sound coming from your Toa Speakers during playback, several factors could be at play. First, ensure that the line output terminals are correctly connected. Second, check that the overall sound volume or the program sound volume isn't set too low and adjust it accordingly. Also, verify the program settings' output destinations. Lastly, confirm that normal broadcast isn't set to OFF in the Broadcast priority level setting.

What to do if Toa Speakers cannot play?
- S
  Sandra Johnson DVMAug 21, 2025
  If your Toa Speakers aren't playing, there could be several reasons. Check if the memory card is securely inserted into Memory card Slot A. Ensure the unit isn't in Maintenance mode by quitting the setting on the EV-700 Setting software or turning off all DIP switch positions used for Maintenance. If an "Errxx" error code appears on the Status display, refer to the Error list. Confirm you're using a usable memory card. Verify that the line output terminals are correctly connected. Finally, adjust the whole sound volume and program sound volume to an appropriate level.

Why Toa EV-700 Speakers cannot make external input broadcasts?
- S
  Stephen JacksonAug 23, 2025
  If you cannot make external input broadcasts with your Toa Speakers, it could be due to a higher-priority broadcast currently in progress. Microphone, Line input, and Normal broadcasts take precedence. Also, make sure the microphone is correctly connected to the Microphone input jack, or the external audio player to the Line input terminal. Finally, check and adjust the sound level of the external audio player to ensure it's at an appropriate level.

How to fix Toa EV-700 when volume level is too small or no sound is heard even if recorded sound playback is started?
- A
  Antonio CruzAug 26, 2025
  If the volume level is too low or there's no sound during recorded sound playback on your Toa Speakers, first ensure the microphone is correctly connected to the microphone input jack, or the external audio player to the line input terminal. Then, adjust the sound volume of the external audio player to an appropriate level. Also, stop audio signals from entering unintended inputs and set the volume knob of such input to the minimum position. Finally, check the program sound volume and consider turning on the AGC using the EV-700 Setting software for automatic volume adjustment.

Why Toa EV-700 playback not start even if you close the Contact-activated input terminal?
- A
  Amanda NguyenAug 28, 2025
  If playback doesn't start on your Toa Speakers even after closing the Contact-activated input terminal, first check the connection of the Contact-activated input terminal. Next, ensure a phrase is registered to the program corresponding to the closed Contact-activated input terminal number; record an audio source or register the phrase using the EV-700 Setting software if needed. Lastly, verify that the control function "Direct" or "Binary" is correctly set as intended on the EV-700 Setting software.

What to do if Toa Speakers cannot start recording?
- H
  holmesalbertSep 4, 2025
  If your Toa Speakers cannot start recording, it might be because the audio source has already been registered to the phrase you're trying to record to; delete the existing audio source first. Alternatively, the memory card might be full; delete unnecessary audio sources to free up space.

- J
  Jenna WestSep 6, 2025

Why EV-700 and a PC not placed online even when connecting between the two and activating the Toa Speakers EV-700 Setting software?
- A
  Amy OwenSep 8, 2025
  If the EV-700 and your PC aren't online even when connected and the EV-700 Setting software is active, check if the LAN cable is correctly connected. The LINK/ACT indicator should light or flash when the connection is good. If communicating via a network, ensure the cables connected to the switching hub are appropriate and connected to the correct port. Also, check your firewall settings to ensure FTP communication isn't interrupted, as it's necessary for online connection. Finally, ensure the network setting is correctly performed.
