Illumination Lamp
The illumination lamp has an always-ON mode (factory setting)
and an always-OFF mode.
In the always-ON mode, the illumination lamp turns ON/OFF
in sync with the display.
1. With the illumination lamp lit, press and hold the DISPLAY
button for 3 seconds or longer. The illumination lamp goes
out, and the always-OFF mode is engaged.
2. To cancel the always-OFF mode and turn the illumination
lamp ON, press and hold the DISPLAY button for 3 seconds
or longer.
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.
Stereo mode Bi-amp mode
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.
