Precautions  
Before using the DTA-9.4 power amplifier, be sure to read the page  
above entitled Important Safeguards and this page of precautions.  
Care  
From time to time you should wipe the front and rear panels and the  
cabinet with a soft cloth. For heavier dirt, dampen a soft cloth in a  
weak solution of mild detergent and water, wring it out dry, and wipe  
off the dirt. Following this, dry immediately with a clean cloth. Do  
not use rough material, thinners, alcohol or other Chemical solvents  
or cloths since these could damage the finish or remove the panel  
lettering.  
Ventilation  
While using the DTA-9.4, the internal temperature will fairly rise.  
Excessive temperature rise may affect the amplifier performance.  
To prevent damage from occurring due to high internal  
temperatures, it is vital to have proper ventilation and passage of air  
to carry out the heat and keep the internal temperature within  
acceptable ranges.  
Whenever performing maintenance on the DTA-9.4, any of its  
supplied accessories, or any device connected to it, do not use  
solvents or cleaners of any kind that are inflammable or combustible.  
When you clean the input/output terminals on the rear panel, do not  
use contact restorer. Doing so may cause resin deterioration.  
Caution  
Do not place the DTA-9.4 inside cabinets or closets where there  
is poor passage of air and ventilation.  
Do not place the DTA-9.4 near external heat sources such as  
heaters or hot air ducts.  
Other  
Below is a list of actions that you should never perform.  
Do not place other components or object on top of or under the  
DTA-9.4.  
Do not use the DTA-9.4 as a broadcast system or musical  
The cover of the DTA-9.4 contains ventilation holes to allow the  
instrument amplifier.  
passage of air. Do not cover or block these holes in any way.  
Never use a generator, DC/AC converter, AC/AC converter, or  
transformer to supply power for the DTA-9.4.  
If you are planning to place it within a cabinet, either open holes in  
the rear panel of the cabinet to improve ventilation or use a fan to  
force air circulation.  
Never perform a thumb test(checking whether current is  
reaching the lead wire on the hot end of the input by touching it  
with your fingers) on the ends of the input jacks or input cables.  
Doing so may damage the speakers.  
As a general rule, if during idling the cover is too hot to touch, then  
ventilation needs to be improved.  
Do not short across the output terminals or across the output  
terminals and rear panel.  
Never remove the cover of the DTA-9.4.  
Installation location and space  
Do not install the DTA-9.4 in a location within the reach of  
small children.  
Make sure that the floor or cabinet or rack where it will be located is  
strong enough to support its weight.  
You will also need to leave enough space behind the DTA-9.4 to  
allow room for the power cord and other cables for connecting  
system components. A minimum of four inches is required behind  
the DTA-9.4 to allow room for the cables and cords without  
excessively bending them.  
Lightning storms  
During lightning storm, never touch the power cord, plug or cover of  
the DTA-9.4, and any devices connected to the DTA-9.4.  
Do not place the DTA-9.4 near TV or radio. This may cause noise or  
instable video on radio or TV respectively.

Quick operation guide  
Here is a quick guide for those who want to listen to music or view  
their favorite movies as soon as possible. Connections and  
operations are explained briefly here for the purpose of just getting  
you started.  
1. Lower the volume at the control amplifier.  
Lower the volume of the control amplifier to the minimum so  
that when the DTA-9.4 is turned on, you do not hear loud  
unwanted sounds.  
For those of you who want to operate the DTA-9.4 right away,  
follow the guide below. However, this instruction manual contains a  
great deal of other information that you should know for the proper  
operation of the DTA-9.4 and for a more pleasurable experience  
with the DTA-9.4. Be sure to read the rest of this manual as well after  
reading this quick guide.  
2. Connect the speakers to the DTA-9.4.  
Connect the speakers to the DTA-9.4 using the proper speaker  
cables. Be sure to match the channels and the positive (+) and  
negative () polarities between the speakers and the DTA-9.4. If  
the connections are mistaken, the correct orientation will not be  
obtained.  
The procedures given below assume that the other system  
components are already connected. (For example, that the source  
components are already connected to the control amplifier.)  
3. Select balanced input (XLR) or unbalanced input  
(RCA) with the INPUT SELECT switch.  
The DTA-9.4 possesses a balanced input (XLR) and unbalanced  
input (RCA) for each channel and the switch for the two is  
located between the two input terminals. Select the proper input  
type depending on the functionality of the connected cables and  
control amplifier.  
Note:  
Do not change the INPUT SELECT switch setting when the DTA-  
9.4 is turned on.  
4. Connect the control amplifier to the DTA-9.4.  
After selecting the correct input type in step 3 above, connect the  
output from the control amplifier to the corresponding input  
terminal on the DTA-9.4.  
Note:  
Do not connect anything to the other input jack.  
5. Connect the supplied power cord to the DTA-9.4 and  
to the wall power outlet.  
Be sure to properly plug the power cord all the way in.  
6. Press the Power switch.  
When pressing this switch, the Standby indicator flashes red, and  
then the On indicator lights blue. When you connect other device  
to the 12V TRIGGER IN terminal using the supplied cable, the  
power on or off status of the DTA-9.4 synchronizes to the action  
of turning on or off the connected device. While the Standby  
indicator lights red, the DTA-9.4 is in standby state waiting for  
12V trigger signal.  
7. Slowly increase the control amplifier volume.  
Note:  
After the DTA-9.4 is turned on, it takes approximately 10 seconds  
before the output sounds. During this time, do not turn up the  
volume.  
Now all that remains is to control the control amplifier and the other  
connected system components and enjoy your music or movies.

Power cord  
(supplied)  
Connects to the 12V trigger output terminal on the other device to  
control the DTA-9.4.  
Connecting to the Integra DTC-9.4 AV controller:  
Use the attached stereo mini-plug cable to connect to the 12V  
TRIGGER OUT terminal on the DTC-9.4.  
Do not plug the DTA-9.4 into the AC outlet other than an AC  
wall socket. Avoid using the AC OUTLET of the control  
amplifier as power supply outlet for the DTA-9.4.  
Connecting to the 12V TRIGGER OUT B (CONTROL  
LINK OUT) terminal:  
Do not use a Power cord other than the one supplied with the  
DTA-9.4. The Power cord supplied is designed for use with the  
DTA-9.4 and should not be used with any other device.  
This enables the DTA-9.4 to turn on or go into standby state  
based on the power on/standby status of the DTC-9.4. The  
brightness of the On or Standby indicator on the DTA-9.4 also  
switches automatically in 4 levels according to the dimmer  
setting (brightness adjustment of the display) of the DTC-9.4.  
Never have the Power cord disconnected from the DTA-9.4  
while the other end is plugged into the wall outlet. Doing so may  
cause an electric shock. Always connect by plugging into the  
wall outlet last and disconnect by unplugging from the wall  
outlet first.  
Connecting to the 12V TRIGGER OUT A terminal:  
This enables the DTA-9.4 to turn on or go into standby state  
based on the power on/standby status of the DTC-9.4.  
Before you plug in the DTA-9.4, confirm that all connections  
have been made properly.  
Note:  
Turning on the power may cause a momentary power surge,  
which might interfere with other electrical equipment on the  
same circuit, such as computers. If this happens, use a wall outlet  
on a different circuit.  
Be sure to use the attached stereo mini-plug cable for connecting to  
the DTC-9.4. Using any other cables does not allow control of the  
DTA-9.4 with the Dimmer function to work.  
Connecting to any other devices than the DTC-9.4:  
Use the commercial 1/8-inch mono cable to connect to the 12V  
trigger output terminal on the other device. This enables the DTA-  
9.4 to turn on or go into standby state based on the power on/standby  
status of other devices.

Connecting speakers  
Before connecting the speakers, place them correctly by consulting  
the instruction manuals that came with them. For surround playback,  
the configuration and placement of your speakers are very important.  
Please note that connecting speakers with a low power input rating  
does not produce large sound volumes. For those speakers, large  
sound volumes causing excessive input level may damage the  
speakers.  
To prevent damage to circuitry, never short-circuit the positive (+)  
and negative () speaker wire. Never short across the speaker cable  
wire and the rear panel.  
Connecting speakers  
Caution  
Do not connect any devices other than speakers to these  
terminals. Do not short across the output terminals or across the  
output terminals and rear panel.  
Connect the red (+) output terminal on the DTA-9.4 to the (+)  
terminal on the speaker, and the white () output terminal on the  
DTA-9.4 to the () terminal on the speaker. Use the marking or line  
on the speaker cord to connect appropriate terminals. Be sure to  
match the speaker polarity for in-phase connection by connecting (+)  
terminal to (+) terminal and () terminal to () terminal between the  
DTA-9.4 and speakers. Connecting (+) terminal to () terminal  
between the DTA-9.4 and speakers leads to reverse phase  
connection, causing unclear sound localization (the unstable  
positioning of the instruments or singer) or strange sound.  
Be sure not to mistake the positive and negative outputs or the  
left and right speakers. Doing so will result in an unnatural sound  
space.  
Do not connect more than one speaker cable to one output  
terminal. Doing may damage the DTA-9.4.  
Do not connect one speaker to multiple speaker terminals. Doing  
may damage the DTA-9.4.  
Only connect speakers with an impedance of 4 ohms or greater.  
If a speaker with an impedance of less than 4 ohms is connected,  
it may damage the DTA-9.4.  
Note that negative () terminals are not ground (GND) potential.  
When you use banana plugs, do not insert the plugs before  
tightening the output terminal screws. The loosen screws may  
cause sound distortion or no audio output.  
Make the connections following the procedure given below.  
Do not connect one speaker to more than one set of speaker  
terminals to avoid parallel speaker connection. Also do not  
connect more than one speaker to one set of speaker terminals.  
Doing so may cause damage.  
When stripping and twisting the wires, be sure not to allow the  
insulation and wire materials to enter the ventilation holes of the  
DTA-9.4.
