ENGLISH
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PM-14S1units(upto4units).EachunitiscontrolledviaitsIDnumber
registeredbeforehand.
TheIDnumbersneedtobesettoanoperatingunit(master)andasubordinateunit(slave)
receivingthecommandfromthemaster.Forslaveunits,registerIDnumbersintheorderof
commandreceptionfromthemaster.
OnceregisteredtheIDnumbers,theunitswillenable linkcontroloperations suchasinput
selection,volumecontrol,on/oselectionofmuting,display,tonecontrol,etc.
Furthermore,F.C.B.S.connection ofmultiple unitshas thefeaturethatswitchesthisunit's
outputfrom stereoto monaural sothat the unitcan works asa monaural outputamplier.
Followtherespectiveinstructionstomakethenecessarysettings.
FordetailsontheIDnumbersettings,seevpage18“SettingIDnumberforF.C.B.S”.
Preparation for F.C.B.S. connection
n Making the F.C.B.S. connection
TousemultiplePM-14S1units,makethisconnectioninadditiontoaudioconnection.
Fordetailsoneachconnectionfeature,refertotherespectiveinstructions.
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miniplug"!monauralminiplugconnectingcable
•Stereominiplug"!stereominiplugconnectingcable
NOTE
Donotuseconnectingcablesthatcontainresistance.
n Connection example
Intheconnectionofthefollowing example, an unit with ID number 1 acts as a master
ampliertocontrolalltheotherslaveunitswithIDnumbers2to4.
ID 1 Master
ID 2 Slave
ID 4 Slave
ID 3 Slave
NOTE
•The PM-14S1 F.C.B.S. function is only valid between the same PM-14S1 models. This
functionmaynotoperatecorrectlyifotherMarantzmodels(PM-11S3,etc.)areconnected.
•ToturnthepowerofmultipleF.C.B.S.-connectedunitson/o,switchthepoweroninorder
oflowesttohighestIDnumber,andswitchthepoweroinorderofhighesttolowestID
number.
