4 En Features • 140 W/Ch (4 ohm, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, 0.05%, 2 Channels Driven, IEC) • A WRAT (Advanced Wide Range Amplifier Technology) • DIDRC (Dynamic Interm odulation Distortion Reduction Circuit.
5 En T echnologies The A-9000R employs a host of proprietary Onkyo tech nologies to ensure opti mal audio performanc e. Since the adv ent of digital au dio, the v alues of S/N (signal-to-noise) ratio ha ve risen significantly .
6 En Three-Stage In verted Darlington Circuitry brings greater ef ficiency to the A-9000R integrated amp b y employing a lo w-NFB design to maintain voltage stability and enhance transient response. Ex tremely sensitiv e to oscillations, this circuitry requires v ery adv anced control technology in order to be incorporat ed into th e amplif ier .

In this case, pl ug the power cord in a way that provides the best sound quality .
19 En This is an example of connect ion using the CD Player C-7000R. Tip • Connect the CD Player to either of the following jacks: LINE IN 1 / 2 / 3 .
20 En This is an exam ple of connection us ing the Onk yo Digital Media T ransport. Note • Use only an Onkyo Dock with digital connections. • T o use the u (Remote Interactive) connection, you need to change th e names of inputs ( ➔ pages 22 , 36 ).
21 En This is an example of connect ion using the Network T uner T -4070. Note • T o use the u (Remote Interacti ve) connection, you need to chan ge the names of inputs ( ➔ pages 22 , 36 ). Tip • Connect your tuner to either of the follo wing jacks: LINE IN 1 / 2 / 3 .
22 En Wi t h u (Remote Interactiv e), you can us e the follo wing special functions: ■ Auto Power On When you start playback on a component connected via u while the integrated amplifier is on Standby, the integrated am plifier will auto matically turn on and select that component as the input source.
23 En Use the MM/M C selector on the back of the integr ated amplifier to sele ct either MM or MC , in accordance with the cartr idge format of th e turntable. Remov e the short pins plugged into the ja cks before co nnecting a turntable to the PHONO inputs.
24 En Note • V olu me adjustments and use of the muting function are not reflec ted in the signal output from LINE OUT . • Manual tone adjus tments using BASS -/+ , TREBLE -/+ , BALANCE L/R , and T ONE/BAL are not reflected in the signal output from LINE OU T .
25 En The integrated amplifier can be used as a preamplifier (Pre mode). This mode keeps the heat down, as opposed to when the integr ated amplifier is used as a pre-main ampli fier. This is an example of connection using the pow er amplifier M-5000R.
26 En You can use the integrated amplifier’s pre- amp and main amp units indivi dually (Split mode) to connect a sound processor such a s a g raphic equalizer between the pre-amp and main amp units.
