Bi-Wire Connections; Connecting Remote Control Jacks - Marantz PM8003 User Manual

BI-WIRE CONNECTIONS

BI-WIRE connection is a technique for improving sound quality. It connects speaker systems and an amplifier,
using two speaker cables; one for mid-to-high range speakers and another for bass speakers.
It eliminates the influence on a mid-to-high range speaker unit due to back electromotive force generated
by the bass speaker unit.
For BI-WIRE connection, a speaker system must comply with the BI-WIRE connection specifications. Refer
to the instruction manual supplied with the speaker system.
Connect a mid-to-high range speaker via the SYSTEM A terminals and a bass speaker via the SYSTEM B
terminals. Then set the SPEAKER knob on the front panel in the A+B position.

CONNECTING REMOTE CONTROL JACKS

The REMOTE CONTROL jacks are for connecting components that are capable of remote control (D.BUS
jacks) such as a Marantz CD Player or DVD Player. This enables these other components to be operated
with the remote controller included with the unit. The unit comes with the system remote controller that
can operate the basic features of Marantz CD Players and DVD Players. Here, a brief explanation of how to
control the unit and CD Player using this remote controller is provided.
As shown in the illustration below, connect the REMOTE CONTROL "IN" jack of the CD Player to the
REMOTE CONTROL "OUT" jack of the unit, and set the CD Player switch to "EXTERNAL".
Both this model and CD Player can be operated by pointing the remote controller at the receptor of this
model.
