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.

disconnect the Power cord from wall outlet, and contact an Integra/
Onkyo service station or representative.
Note:
If you wish to turn on the DTA-9.4 again after it is turned off, wait
for 30 seconds or more.
If the On indicator lights blue and the Standby indicator flashes red,
the protection circuitry of the DTA-9.4 has activated. The protection
circuitry activates if a problem such as a speaker cable shorting or
the temperature of the DTA-9.4 rising excessively occurs. Turn off
the DTA-9.4, remove the cause of the problem, and then turn the
DTA-9.4 back on. If the problem is still not solved, turn off the
DTA-9.4, disconnect the power cord from wall outlet, and contact an

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.
