• Play Audio CD, MP3 CD, CD-R and CD-RW discs.
• Play MP3 files and non-compressed audio from the DA-9000’s internal hard drive.
• Use the internal Gracenote CDDB® (CD database) to check for information, such as disc and song titles.
• Rip audio from a CD to the DA-9000’s internal hard drive.
• Record audio to the DA-9000’s internal hard drive from an external source.
• Transfer MP3 audio files from and to a PC.
• Record from the DA-9000’s internal hard drive to CD-R and CD-RW discs (requires Audio type media; see the

REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS
[A] AUDIO OUT/AUDIO IN
To enable hearing the DA-9000, connect an analog cable (RCA type) between the DA9000’s LINE OUT jacks and the LINE IN (or TAPE IN) jacks on an amplification device
such as a receiver. To record audio into the DA-9000, connect an analog cable (RCA
type) between the DA-9000’s LINE IN jacks and the LINE OUT (or TAPE OUT) jacks on a
source device, such as a receiver or a tape deck.
NOTE: Most turntables cannot be connected directly to the DA-
9000. See “About Recording from Your Turntable” on page 9 for
more information.
[B] OPTICAL OUT
To record from the DA-9000 into an external device, such as a mini disc player, connect
an optical digital cable (not included) between the DA-9000’s OPTICAL DIGITAL OUT port
and the external device’s OPTICAL DIGITAL IN port.
[C] POWER
Plug the power cord of the DA-9000 into a power outlet.
NOTE: The connection configuration discussed here is typical, but other configurations are also possible. For instance, the DA-9000’s OPTICAL DIGITAL OUT port can
be connected to the OPTICAL DIGITAL IN port on an A/V receiver to provide highest
possible quality playback through the receiver.

FRONT PANEL CONNECTIONS
[D] USB
Before MP3 audio files can be transferred from/to your PC, a USB cable must be connected between the DA-9000’s USB port and a USB port on your PC.
[E] HEADPHONES
To listen through headphones, plug headphones into the unit’s front-panel jack.
IMPORTANT NOTE: After you’ve finished transferring files, disconnect
the USB cable. When the USB cable is connected, the DA-9000 is in
a passive mode, and cannot perform most of its functions.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The included TDK PC Transfer Software must be
used to transfer files between a PC and the DA-9000. For more
information, see page 13.
CAUTION: Listening to headphones at high volumes can
cause hearing loss. Before you place headphones on your
