I. Notes in Use
1. Getting Started
(1) Hook up a Super Audio CD player
(i) Digital audio that cannot be played back ... User’s Manual
P.8
If the devices are not properly certified in the i.LINK connection, the digital audio of Super Audio
CD cannot output digital signals.
Therefore, only when the TA-DA9000ES establishes a digital connection with the Super Audio
CD player (SCD-XA9000ES) equipped with an i.LINK terminal, can the audio of Super Audio CD
be output in the digital connection.
(ii) Upconverting video signals ... User’s Manual
P.10
Only the following conversion is available. Backward conversion is not available.
• Composite video → S-video / component
• S-video → component
When upconverting signals, the hue, sharpness, and color density can be adjusted. These
adjustments are set in the CUSTOMIZE menu (User’s Manual
P.37
).
(2) Connecting the speakers
(i) Speaker Impedance ... User’s Manual
P.13
When connecting even one speaker with nominal impedance of 4–8 Ω, set the impedance to 4 Ω.
If the correct impedance is not set, the unit may exhibit a PROTECTOR display.
(ii) 9.1ch Speaker System ... User’s Manual
P.14, P.15, P.45
The TA-DA9000ES can connect 7.1-channel speakers for A, and 5.1-channel speakers for B.
If the surround speakers are set to A+B, the audio is output from the 2 channels of the front
speakers, “4 channels of SL, SR, SBL, and SBR for A”, “2 channels of SL, and SR for B” and “1.1
channels of a common C, and SW”, which total 9.1 channels.
SL for A and SL for B, plus SR for A and SR for B, are connected in a parallel configuration
respectively.

(iii) Front Speakers ... User’s Manual
P.14, P.45
The front speaker output can be selected with the SPEAKERS FRONT switch. If it is set to A+B,
the speakers for A and B are connected in a parallel configuration, and the number of speakers for
the audio output increases.
(Reference) Front speaker output
If the front speaker setting is set to A+B, the front speakers for A and B are connected in a
parallel configuration. At this time, if the surround channels are also set to A+B, the audio is output
from the maximum of 11 speakers and one subwoofer.
This configuration is not described as 11.1ch, however, because only a slight sound effect results
from the increase in the number of front speakers.
(3) Connecting the AC power supply
(i) Performing initial setup operations ... User’s Manual
P.17
We recommend that you initialize the unit when you use it for the first time. (The unit is initialized
when it is shipped from the factory.)
The unit reverts to the default state if you press the power switch and hold it for five seconds, and
immediately press ENTER.
(ii) AC outlet ... User’s Manual
P.17
The power plug at the rear of the main unit supplies power only when the power of the
TA-DA9000ES is turned on.
