HOW TO USE AND SET FEATURES
F.C.B.S.
F.C.B.S. (Floating Control Bus System) is a communication
system that connects up to four SC-11S1s 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.
¶ Monaural miniplug ⇔ monaural miniplug connecting
cable
¶ Stereo miniplug ⇔ stereo miniplug connecting cable
Note:
Do not use connecting cables that contain resistance.
To turn the power of multiple F.C.B.S.-connected units ON/OFF, switch the power ON in order of lowest to highest ID
number, and switch the power OFF in order of highest to lowest ID number.

The figure below shows an example of four SC-11S1s
connected by F.C.B.S. The top unit is the master unit with ID
1 and controls the three slave units with ID 2~4. When the
master unit is operated, the input source, volume level, ATT
feature, display and tone control ON/OFF feature of the slave
units are operated in sync with the master unit.
This function can be applied to various usages such as
complete bi-amp with 2 SC-11S1s (page. 14), and 5.1ch multi-
channel with 3 SC-11S1s (page. 16).
Note:
The SC-11S1 F.C.B.S. function is only valid between the
same SC-11S1 models. This function may not operate
correctly if other Marantz models (PM-11S1, PM-15S1 etc)
are connected.
