This is an integrated amplifier based on the SC-7S2/MA-9S2  
flagship models from Marantz, using leading-edge technologies  
developed for the higher-grade SC-11S1/SM-11S1 models.  
Tone Control Amplifier  
The electronic tone control amplifier is provided for adjustment  
of bass (low frequency) and treble (high frequency) sound in  
units of 2 dB in the range of -8 to +8 dB. Adjustment can be  
separately performed for the L and R channels, using the remote  
control unit.  
HDAM®SA3  
The latest HDAM®SA3, featured in the higher-grade SC-11S1/  
SM-11S1, is provided with this model. Compared with the  
previous HDAM®SA2, the HDAM®SA3 has further improved  
temperature stability and substantially higher-speed processing.  
The HDAM®SA3 is incorporated into many components, such  
as the current feedback phono equalizer, balance buffer, and  
input buffer.  
Power Amplifier Section  
Dual-Amplifier Structure  
Following the design concept of the MA-9S2, this unit was  
developed with the dual structure of a voltage amplifier and  
power buffer amplifier. This dual structure enables the power  
buffer amplifier to drive the speakers powerfully, preventing  
influence from the back electromagnetic force from the speakers.  
The voltage amplifier drives the power buffer with superlow  
distortion.  
Input Amplifier Section  
Constant Current Feedback Phono Equalizer  
The Constant Current Feedback Phono Equalizer of the higher-  
grade SC-11S1 model is also provided with this model.  
This equalizer, developed by Marantz, has the advantages of  
both NF-type and CR-type phono equalizers, and it supports  
both MM and MC cartridges.  
Power Circuit  
Choke Input Power Supply Circuit  
This unit incorporates a choke input power circuit that uses  
a large-capacity smoothing capacitor, in order to thoroughly  
eliminate high-frequency noise from the rectifier circuit and  
external sources. The choke input power circuit supplies clean  
power to the input amplifier and preamplifier sections.  
Current Feedback Balance Buffer Amplifier  
The Current Feedback Balance Buffer Amplifier, which  
incorporates the HDAM®SA3 amp module, is provided with  
this unit, in order to faithfully convey signals from Super Audio  
CD players and D/A converters that have high-quality balanced  
output.  
Functions  
BI-AMP Mode  
Dedicated Input Buffers for All Line Input  
Complete bi-amp connection proposed by Marantz enables a  
level of reproduction of the acoustic field never before achieved.  
That complete bi-amp connection is available with the PM-11S2.  
Synchronized operation of two PM-11S2 units is made possible  
by F.C.B.S. connection, with each PM-11S2 in Bi-Amp mode  
working as a monaural integrated amplifier.  
Jacks  
Each CD, LINE 1, LINE 2, RECORDER 1, and RECORDER 2  
input jack has its own input buffer amplifier that incorporates an  
HDAM®SA3.Those buffer amplifiers prevent mutual interference  
among input sources, for faithful transmission of signals from  
input sources.  
F.C.B.S.  
Preamplifier Section  
A Floating Control Bus System (F.C.B.S.) enables the user  
to connect up to four PM-11S2 units, making a diversity of  
applications possible with complete bi-amp and multichannel  
connections. Moreover, a ground loop is not formed among  
multiple PM-11S2 units connected; therefore, sound quality is  
not adversely affected.  
Linear Control Volume  
The Linear Control Volume based on the design concept for  
the SC-7S2 is incorporated. For better S/N ratio, the WM8816  
from Wolfson and the HDAM®SA3 have been combined, which  
enables smooth adjustment in the range of 0 to -100 dB in units  
of 0.5 dB.  
Display  
This unit adopts an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) to display the  
input source and volume level. Compared with other types of  
display panels, an LCD requires less drive power and generates  
less radiation noise, which minimizes any adverse effect on  
sound quality.

BI-WIRING CONNECTION  
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.  
• If using speakers that do not support a bi-wiring connection, connect them to either the SPEAKER SYSTEM 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.  
As both pre-amps operate as monaural pre-amps in BI-AMP mode, do not use the R channel of the input jacks on these units.  
About Complete Bi-Amp  
Proposed by Marantz, the complete bi-amp connection is an advanced technique that enhances sound quality.The low and mid/high  
amplifiers are separated and independent of the preamplifier, therefore interference between low and mid/high sounds is reduced  
to a minimum. As a result, a wide sound environment can be reproduced.  
Note:  
Speaker systems connected using complete bi-amp connections must support bi-amp connections. Before connecting your  
speakers, check in the instruction manual that came with the speakers or contact the manufacturer to confirm whether they  
support bi-amp connection.

SPEAKER POSITIONING FOR SUPER  
AUDIO MULTI-CHANNEL SOUND  
In order to enjoy Super Audio CD multi-channel sound with  
the best possible acoustics, it is recommended to position  
speakers as specified in ITU-R BS.775-1 of the International  
Telecommunication Union (ITU).Super Audio CD multi-channel  
discs are recorded and mixed so as to achieve the optimum  
effect with a speaker system laid out as specified in ITU-R  
BS.775-1.  
• With Super Audio CD multi-channel discs, the music signals  
are basically recorded using 5 channels (3 - 6 channels  
sometimes), but in some cases, LFE (for subwoofer) is  
recorded as a sixth channel. Each disc indicates how many  
channels have been recorded on it.  
• The basic layout is 3 speakers in the front and 2 in the back  
since multi-channel discs usually have 5 channels. The 2  
front, 1 center and 2 surround (rear) speakers should be set  
in a circle around the listening point as shown below.If using  
speakers of differing sizes, adjust volume balance from the  
amplifier.  
• The location of the subwoofer in the figure is just for  
explanatory purposes. It can be located anywhere in the  
room. For connection and positioning instructions, see the  
instruction manual that came with the subwoofer.  
ITU (International Telecommunication Union)  
The ITU is a special organization of the United Nations. It  
consists of a number of organs, one of which is the Radio  
Broadcasting Section.  
For front L/R speakers  
Set PM-11S2 to ID 1.  
Set to “STEREO”.

F.C.B.S.  
The figure below shows an example of four PM-11S2s  
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.  
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.  
This function can be applied to various usages such as  
complete bi-amp with 2 PM-11S2s (page.17), and 5.1ch multi-  
channel with 3 PM-11S2s (page. 19).

HOW TO SET ID NUMBERS  
BI-AMP MODE  
If using this unit by itself as a stereo amplifier, set the ID number  
to “0” (Default setting is “0”).  
This unit is equipped with a bi-amp mode to enable a complete  
bi-amp connection using two PM-11S2s. This complete  
bi-amp connection is a high-end technique for enhancing  
sound quality, proposed by Marantz. Using this system, the  
bi-amp supporting speaker system is separated from the  
preamplifiers that separately drive the low and high speakers.  
(For more information, see STEREO COMPLETE BI-AMP  
CONNECTION (page.17).)  
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.  
The unit with ID1 is called the “Master”. The other units that  
synchronize with the master are called “slaves” and take IDs  
“2” ~ “4”.  
The bi-amp mode is engaged by setting the operating mode  
switch on the rear panel to “BI-AMP”. In the bi-amp mode, the  
signals input to the L channel are split by the input selector and  
sent to the left and right volume amplifiers, and are then output  
to the PRE OUT terminals. The figures below show example  
displays in the stereo and bi-amp modes.

TROUBLESHOOTING  
If the temperature does not sufficiently fall within a certain  
amount of time after the protection circuit activation, the  
amplifier shuts itself OFF, and the OPERATE indicator  
flashes.  
To deactivate the protection circuit, turn the unit off, let it stand  
until it cools down, then turn it ON again.  
7 About the protection circuit  
This unit is equipped with a protection circuit to protect the  
amplifier circuits and speaker system from damage.  
If the protection circuit is activated, the sound is instantly muted.  
In this case, the message “PROTECT” flashes on the display  
panel, and the OPERATE indicator also flashes.  
To deactivate the protection circuit, turn the unit off then back  
on again after about 1 minute or more.  
In the event of amplifier trouble  
The protection circuit is activated, and the power is automatically  
shut OFF, if an abnormality is detected in the power circuit.The  
same happens if the main fuse inside the amplifier blows. In  
such cases, the OPERATE indicator flashes.  
At power on  
For about 8 seconds after the power is turned on, the protection  
circuit is activated, muting the sound to give the amplifier  
circuits time to stabilize. Once the amplifier circuits stabilize,  
the protection circuit is released, and audio is enabled.  
Turn the unit off then after several minutes turn it on again.  
If the display does not light up, and the OPERATE indicator  
remains flashing after the unit is turned on again, the unit may  
be in failure.  
In the event of overcurrent  
The protection circuit is activated if current exceeding a certain  
level is detected, which can happen if excessive signal flow is  
input to the amplifier or if the unit is connected to a speaker  
system of less than 4 Ω impedance. The protection circuit is  
also activated if a speaker cable shorts.  
7 Error messages  
When multiple amplifiers are connected by F.C.B.S., the error  
messages described in the table below may be displayed on  
the display. In such a case, ID number setting or remote cable  
connection may be in failure. Check the ID number or remote  
cable connection, referring to the table below. For details on  
ID number setting, see “HOW TO SET ID NUMBERS”, on  
page 21.  
In such cases, the message “PROTECTflashes on the display,  
and the volume is automatically reduced. After approximately  
8 seconds, the protection circuit is released. Therefore, the  
volume needs readjusting to continue normal use.  
If the overcurrent continues, the amplifier shuts itself OFF, and  
the OPERATE indicator flashes.

The protection circuit is activated if the temperature of the main-  
amplifier section rises above a certain level, which can happen  
if the amplifier is continuously used with excessive signal flow  
being input to it. The protection circuit is also activated when  
the specified operating temperature is exceeded, which can  
happen if the vents on top of the amplifier are covered or if  
the amplifier is installed on a cramped audio rack. In such  
a case, the OPERATE indicator flashes, and the volume is  
automatically reduced. After approximately 8 seconds, the  
protection circuit is released. Therefore, the volume needs  
readjusting to continue normal use.
