The figure below shows an example of four PM-11S2s
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 PM-11S2s (page. 17), and 5.1ch multi-
channel with 3 PM-11S2s (page. 19).
Note:
The PM-11S2 F.C.B.S. function is only valid between the
same PM-11S2 models. This function may not operate
correctly if other Marantz models (PM-11S1, PM-15S1 etc)
are connected.
F.C.B.S.
F.C.B.S. (Floating Control Bus System) is a communication
system that connects up to four PM-11S2s 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

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.
