wires inside the vehicle, hidden from passengers. An exposed wire can inadvertently be pulled out, and may cause disconnection or shorting.
location and Mounting
The DTAl is compact in size and it generates virtually no heat. It can be located almost anywhere within the passenger compartment, trunk, or storage area. However, do not install the DTAl in the engine compartment or in any outside location exposed to dirt and moisture.
Use the DTAl as a template to mark drill holes. Before mounting the DTAl to your vehicle’s chassis, inspect the site for any hidden brake or gas lines, wires, or cables.
After selecting a suitable location, mount the DTAl , and then per- form the following connection steps:
Connecting Audio Signal Cables
1.Make sure power to your audio system is off.
2.Locate the Digital Output connector on the back of your CD or DAT control head unit.
3.Connect an appropriate length of RCA coaxial cable from the source’s digital output to digital 75 R input 1 on the DTAl
NOTE: If you use an optical link, connect an appropriate length of
on the DTAl . However, if you are installing a second source, remem- ber that the DTAl uses automatic priority switching to select signals at Optical input over those present at the 75 ohm inputs, 1 or 2. Also, input 1 has priority over input 2. However, CD players not equipped with o Remote On/Off control will continue generating
7.Connect another (e.g., orange or aqua) wire from the Remote terminal to your control head unit’s remote
NOTE: This connection enables the DTAl to follow a timed sequence for minimal
8.Connect a red wire (18 gauge) from the +12V terminal through a 0.75 A
DTA 1 Operation
9.Turn on your control head unit, selecting a source connected to the DTAl, and slowly increase the volume while listening to a familiar musical selection. With proper instollation, your DTAl should pro- vide you with an increased sense of transparency and music repro- duction. There are no adjustments or controls.
NOTE: If you experience problems at this point, review the installa- tion steps and check all your connections. If you are installing the DTAl as part of a new system, try leaving the DTAl out of the chain until you get your entire system operating properly first. Then repeat steps 1 through 8 to insert the DTAl once again into the audio system chain.
SERVICE Your DTAl is protected by a limited warranty. Please read the enclosed warranty information carefully. Should any problem occur, contact your local Soundstream dealer.
