properly as indicated by  
the marks in the battery  
compartment.  
About condensation  
If there is a major difference in temperature between the  
inside of the unit and the surroundings, condensation (dew)  
may form on the operating parts inside the unit, causing the  
unit not to operate properly.  
Approx. 26.2ft / 8 m  
30° 30°  
If this happens, let the unit sit for an hour or two with the  
power turned off and wait until there is little difference in  
temperature before using the unit.  
Cautions on using mobile phones  
Using a mobile phone near this unit may result in noise. If  
that occurs, move the mobile phone away from this unit  
when it is in use.  
e Put the rear cover back on.  
NOTE  
NOTE  
Insert the specified batteries in the remote control unit.  
Replace the batteries with new ones if the set does not  
operate even when the remote control unit is operated close  
to the unit. (The supplied batteries are only for verifying  
operation. Replace them with new batteries at an early date.)  
When inserting the batteries, be sure to do so in the proper  
direction, following the q and w marks in the battery  
compartment.  
To prevent damage or leakage of battery fluid:  
Do not use a new battery together with an old one.  
Do not use two different types of batteries.  
Do not attempt to charge dry batteries.  
Do not short-circuit, disassemble, heat or dispose of  
batteries in flames.  
The set may function improperly or the remote control unit  
may not operate if the remote control sensor is exposed to  
direct sunlight, strong artificial light from an inverter type  
fluorescent lamp or infrared light.  
When using 3D video devices that transmit radio  
communication signals (such as infrared signals etc)  
between the various units (such as the monitor, 3D glasses,  
3D transmitter unit etc), the remote control unit may not  
operate due to interference from those radio communication  
signals. If this occurs, adjust the direction and distance of the  
3D communication for each unit, and check that the remote  
control unit operation is not affected by these signals.  
Moving the unit  
Turn off the power and unplug the power cord from the  
power outlet. Next, disconnect the connection cables to  
other system units before moving the unit.  
About care  
Wipe the cabinet and control panel clean with a soft cloth.  
Follow the instructions when using a chemical cleaner.  
Benzene, paint thinner or other organic solvents as well as  
insecticide may cause material changes and discoloration  
if brought into contact with the unit, and should therefore  
not be used.  
Do not keep the battery in a place exposed to direct sunlight  
or in places with extremely high temperatures, such as near  
a heater.  
If the battery fluid should leak, carefully wipe the fluid off the  
inside of the battery compartment and insert new batteries.  
Remove the batteries from the remote control unit if it will  
not be in use for long periods.  
Used batteries should be disposed of in accordance with the  
local regulations regarding battery disposal.  
The remote control unit may function improperly if  
rechargeable batteries are used.

Features  
®
Linear Control Volume  
F.C.B.S.  
HDAM SA3 Module  
®
The control knob had adopted the high-end model design  
concept. For better S/N ratio, the MAS6116 from Micro  
A Floating Control Bus System (F.C.B.S.) enables the  
user to connect up to four PM-11S3 units, making a  
diversity of applications possible with complete bi-amp  
and multichannel connections. Moreover, a ground loop  
is not formed among multiple PM-11S3 units connected;  
therefore, sound quality is not adversely affected.  
This unit includes the HDAM SA3 which had been  
developed for high-end models. The HDAM SA3 is  
incorporated into many components, such as the current  
feedback phono equalizer, balance buffer, and input buffer.  
®
®
Analog Systems 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.  
Constant Current Feedback Phono Equalizer  
This unit incorporates the constant current feedback phono  
equalizer which had been developed for high-end models.  
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.  
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.  
BI-AMP Mode  
Complete bi-amp connection proposed by marantz enables  
a level of reproduction of the acoustic field never before  
achieved. Synchronized operation of two PM-11S3 units is  
made possible by F.C.B.S. (Floating Control Bus System)  
connection, with each PM-11S3 in Bi-Amp mode working  
as a monaural integrated amplifier.  
Dual-Amplifier Structure  
Current Feedback Balance Buffer Amplifier  
Amplifier of this unit has dual structure, voltage amplifier  
and power buffer, adopting high-end model design concept.  
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.  
The Current Feedback Balance Buffer Amplifier, which  
®
incorporates the HDAM SA3 amp module, is provided  
Power Amplifier Direct In Mode  
In this mode, this unit works as a power amplifier. This  
mode will be useful in home theater systems.  
with this unit, in order to faithfully convey signals from  
Super Audio CD players and D/A converters that have high-  
quality balanced output.  
Dedicated Input Buffers for All Line Input Jacks  
Each CD, LINE 1, LINE 2, RECORDER 1, and RECORDER 2  
input jack has its own input buffer amplifier that incorporates  
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.  
New-Designed Current Feedback Power Amplifier  
To minimize noise of power amplifier, circuit design with  
lower impedance is incorporated. This enables the user to  
obtain natural acoustics.  
®
an HDAM SA3. These amplifiers' arrangement are circuit  
designed close to the respective jacks. Therefore, each  
input signals are faithfully conveyed without interference  
between them.

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-11S3 units (up to 4 units). Each unit is controlled via its ID number  
registered beforehand.  
nConnection example  
In the connection of the following example, an unit with ID number 1 acts as a master amplifier  
to control all the other slave units with ID numbers 2 to 4.  
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.  
PM-11S3  
Once registered the ID numbers, the units will enable link control operations such as input  
selection, volume control, on/off 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 amplifier.  
Follow the respective instructions to make the necessary settings.

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.  
approx.110°  
approx.110°  
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. If using  
speakers of differing sizes, adjust volume balance from  
the amplifier.  
The location of the subwoofer in the figure is just for

nAbout the protection circuit  
If the main-amplifier overheats  
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.  
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 STANDBY 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.  
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 STANDBY indicator flashes.  
To deactivate the protection circuit, turn the unit off, let it  
stand until it cools down, then turn it ON again.  
In this case, the message “PROTECT” flashes on the display  
panel, and the STANDBY indicator also flashes.  
To deactivate the protection circuit, turn the unit off then back  
on again after about 1 minute or more.  
Speaker impedance  
This is certain-rated resistance of the speaker set to an  
alternating current and expressed in ohms.  
The smaller the impedance, the greater the output. However,  
load on the amplifier is increased. Use speakers whose  
impedance is supported by this unit  
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.  
Bi-wiring Connection  
This method of connecting a speaker by using two speaker  
cables enables separate transmission of treble and bass  
signals.  
In the event of overcurrent  
This enables playback with minimal interference between the  
high-range speaker unit and the low-range speaker unit.  
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.  
In the event of amplifier trouble  
Protection Circuit  
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 STANDBY indicator flashes.  
Turn the unit off then after several minutes turn it on again.  
If the display does not light up, and the STANDBY indicator  
remains flashing after the unit is turned on again, the unit may  
be in failure.  
This is a function to prevent damage to components within  
the power supply when an abnormality such as an overload or  
excess voltage occurs for any reason.  
In such cases, the message “PROTECT” flashes 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 STANDBY indicator flashes.  
In this unit, the power indicator blinks and the unit enters  
standby mode when an abnormality occurs.  
To deactivate the protection circuit, turn the unit off then back  
on again after about 1 minute or more.  
If excessive ultrabass signals are input  
The protection circuit is also activated if ultrabass signals are  
input. In such a case, the STANDBY 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. If excessive  
ultrabass signal input continues or if DC voltage is detected  
owing to trouble with the amplifier, the amplifier shuts itself  
OFF, and the STANDBY indicator flashes.  
To deactivate the protection circuit, turn the unit off then back  
on again after about 1 minute or more.
