HOW TO USE AND SET FEATURES

F.C.B.S.

F.C.B.S. (Floating Control Bus System) is a communication system that connects up to four SC-11S1s over a dedicated bus line so as to enable synchronized operations amongst them via 2-way data communications.

Prepare the correct number of portable audio connection cables for the number of units to be connected. Either of the following types of connection cables are adequate.

¶Monaural miniplug ⇔ monaural miniplug connecting cable

¶Stereo miniplug ⇔ stereo miniplug connecting cable

The figure below shows an example of four SC-11S1s connected by F.C.B.S. The top unit is the master unit with ID 1 and controls the three slave units with ID 2~4. When the master unit is operated, the input source, volume level, ATT feature, display and tone control ON/OFF feature of the slave units are operated in sync with the master unit.

This function can be applied to various usages such as complete bi-amp with 2 SC-11S1s (page. 14), and 5.1ch multi- channel with 3 SC-11S1s (page. 16).

Note:

The SC-11S1 F.C.B.S. function is only valid between the same SC-11S1 models. This function may not operate correctly if other Marantz models (PM-11S1, PM-15S1 etc) are connected.

Note:

Do not use connecting cables that contain resistance.

To turn the power of multiple F.C.B.S.-connected units ON/OFF, switch the power ON in order of lowest to highest ID number, and switch the power OFF in order of highest to lowest ID number.
