ENGLISH NAMES AND FUNCTIONS ADVANCED CONNECTIONS BI-WIRING CONNECTION BASIC CONNECTIONS A bi-wiring connection separately connects the low and mid/high jacks of the speaker to the amplifier using separate speaker cables. Because separate cables are used for low and mid/high sounds, the return current generated in the low speaker causes little interference with the mid/high speaker. • If speakers that do not support bi-wiring connection are used, connect them to either the SPEAKER A or B terminals.
STEREO COMPLETE BI-AMP CONNECTION q The two amplifiers are connected by F.C.B.S. for synchronized use. For F.C.B.S. connection, connect with commercially available monaural ⇔ monaural miniplugs or stereo ⇔ stereo miniplugs as described in F.C.B.S. (page. 20). w Set the ID numbers as explained in HOW TO SET ID NUMBERS (page. 21). When the ID1 amplifier is operated, the ID 2 amplifier will operate in sync. e Connect the analog output of the CD player etc. to the L ch input jacks of both pre-amps.

BASIC CONNECTION FOR 5.1 MULTI-CHANNEL PLAYBACK q The three units are connected using F.C.B.S. For the F.C.B.S connection, prepare 3 audio connection cables, and refer to F.C.B.S. on page 20. w Set the ID numbers for the three amplifiers as explained in HOW TO SET ID NUMBERS (page. 21). When the ID 1 unit is operated, ID 2 and ID 3 units will operate in sync. e Connect the outputs of players that have 5.1 channel analog outputs to each of the three units.
ENGLISH NAMES AND FUNCTIONS ADVANCED CONNECTIONS F.C.B.S. BASIC CONNECTIONS 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.
If using this unit by itself as a stereo amplifier, set the ID number to “0” (Default setting is “0”). Note: If the ID number is set to a number other than “0”, this unit cannot be used for standalone operation. The ID number of the unit appears on the display for about 3 seconds after the power is activated. When multiple PM-11S2s are connected, a unique ID number must be set of each one in order to distinguish between them. The unit that centrally controls the other units takes ID 1.
