Marantz 10 - Page 26

Connecting multiple MODEL 10 units (F.C.B.S. connection)
The Marantz F.C.B.S. (Floating Control Bus System) is the high quality
sound system for link control between multiple MODEL 10 units (up to 4
units). Each unit is controlled via its ID registered beforehand. The IDs
need to be set to an operating unit (Leader) and a subordinate unit
(Member 1 - 3) receiving the command from the leader. For member units,
register Member 1 - 3 in the order of command reception from the leader.
IDs can be set for units connected by F.C.B.S. to perform linked
operations such as switching the input source, adjusting the volume,
muting, adjusting the volume balance, adjusting the sound quality and
trimming the display brightness. Furthermore, F.C.B.S. connection of
multiple MODEL 10 units has the feature that switches this unit’s output
from stereo to monaural so that the unit can works as a monaural output
amplifier. Follow the respective instructions to make the necessary
settings.
