BI-AMP MODE
This unit is equipped with a bi-amp mode to enable a complete bi-amp connection using two SC-11S1s. This complete bi- amp connection is a high-end technique for enhancing sound quality, proposed by Marantz. Using this system, the bi-amp supporting speaker system is separated from the preamplifiers that separately drive the low and high speakers. (For more information, see Connection Example 2 (page.14).)
The bi-amp mode is engaged by setting the operating mode switch on the rear panel to “BI-AMP”. In the bi-amp mode, the signals input to the L channel are split by the input selector and sent to the left and right volume amplifiers, and are then output to the PRE OUT terminals. The figures below show example displays in the stereo and bi-amp modes.
Notes:
•When in bi-amp mode, the R channel input jacks cannot be used.
•When in bi-amp mode, the signals input into the L channel are output from both channels. Therefore, the same signals are output from the L channel and R channel in
RECORDER OUT, PRE OUT, PHONES OUT.
•Always turn the power to the unit OFF before changing the operating mode switch setting. Turning the power ON again activates the new setting.
