POWER ON/OFF  
This unit was developed with many of the same functions as  
the flagship model MA-9S2 and with a 2-channel function,  
without compromising the sound quality.  
Improved Instantaneous Current Delivery  
Capacity  
The final stage of the power buffer amp has a LAPT special  
power transistor parallel push-pull construction to improve  
delivery, and the block capacitor and power buffer amplifier  
are unified.  
Also, the block capacitor and unified power buffer enable the  
reduction of the current loop path, creating superior channel  
separation.  
HDAM-SA3  
The HDAM-SA3 is an amp module equipped with a new circuit  
that has further improved stability from the previous HDAM-SA  
and HDAM-SA2.  
The HDAM-SA3 is an essential part of this unit’s amp module,  
incorporated into many components such as the voltage-  
current converter and input buffer.  
Input Buffer  
Each input has its own input buffer that directly uses HDAM-  
SA3 technology to prevent interference between channels or  
input sources.  
Dual Structure Voltage Amplifier  
+ Power Buffer Amplifier  
Speakers with powerful magnetic circuits have large back  
electromotive force, and are therefore not easy to drive.  
Therefore, in the same way as the MA-9S2, this unit was  
developed with the dual structure of a voltage amplifier and  
power buffer amplifier so that there is no influence from the  
back electromagnetic force.  
BALANCED/UNBALANCED Individual Gain  
Setting Function  
The gain can be set individually for BALANCED input and  
UNBALANCED input according to the intended use.  
Digital Power Meter  
Differential Input Voltage Amplifier  
The actual output power can be indicated on the display by  
detecting the speaker output voltage and output current.  
Considering overall sound quality, a PLD (programmable logic  
device) is used instead of DSP for the digital processing to  
minimize the amount of digital noise.  
The current feedback voltage amplifier that is equipped with  
the newly developed HDAM-SA3 and features differential  
input amplifies the voltage of the balanced input signals and  
unbalanced input signals.  
Furthermore, it can also be switched between gain conversion  
or stereo mode to BTL monaural mode.  
Remote Power Control  
The Power to this unit can be switched ON/OFF in sync with  
the Marantz SC-11S1 stereo control amplifier ON/OFF control  
using the remote power control function.  
New Current Feedback Power Buffer Amplifier  
The power buffer amplifier that powerfully drives the speakers  
incorporates a voltage-current conversion circuit that contains  
a newly developed Complimentary Cascade Push-pull Circuit,  
which greatly increases stability.  
The connection with the SC-11S1 is made without a ground  
loop being formed, therefore sound quality is not adversely  
affected.  
Furthermore, the combination of the Wilson current mirror  
circuit and Cascade bootstrap circuit in the current amplification  
circuit provides power amplification with low distortion in the  
super-high frequency.

INAPPROPRIATE PLACES FOR  
INSTALLATION  
• Refrain from placing any objects on top of the player.  
To keep your player in perfect working order for the longest possible  
time, avoid installing the player in the following locations.  
7 Cautions on handling power cord  
• Do not touch the power cord with wet hands.  
• Wherever it will be exposed to direct sunlight  
• When disconnecting the power cord, always make sure that  
you take hold of the plug. Yanking out or bending the cord  
can damage it and/or cause electric shocks or a fire.  
• Wherever it will be close to a heater or other heat-radiating  
appliance  
• Wherever the humidity is high or ventilation is poor  
• Wherever it is very dusty  
• Get into the habit of disconnecting the power plug before  
leaving home.  
• Wherever it will be subject to vibration  
• On top of a rickety stand or in an unstable location which is  
tilted at an angle  
7 Do not touch hot spots during and  
• In an audio rack with little space at the top and bottom or other  
location where the heat dissipation will be obstructed  
Immediately After Use  
To ensure proper heat dissipation, install the player while  
leaving clearances between the player and wall or other  
components, as shown in the figure below.  
During and immediately after use, the unit is hot in areas other  
than the controls and rear panel connection jacks.Do not touch  
hot spots and especially the top panel. Contact with hot areas  
can cause burns.

7 Connection Example 2: Upgraded version of connection example 1 using bi-wiring  
connections  
Use bi-wiring connections to connect the unit and speaker system with 2 sets of speaker cables.  
Before connecting the speaker system using bi-wiring, check to make sure that the speaker system supports bi-wiring.  
Bi-Wiring Connection  
Bi-wiring connection is a technique for improving sound quality by separately connecting the low and mid/high jacks of the speaker  
to the amplifier using separate cables.  
By using separate cables for low and mid/high sounds, the return current generated in the low speaker causes little interference  
with the mid/high speaker.

7 Connection Example 4: Stereo Complete Bi-amp Connection  
1. Connect 2 Marantz SC-11S1 by F.C.B.S. for synchronized control.  
For F.C.B.S. connection, connect with commercially available cables with monaural monaural miniplugs or stereo stereo  
miniplugs as described in F.C.B.S. (pg. 26) in the SC-11S1 instruction manual.  
2. Refer to the SC-11S1 instruction manual (pg. 27) and set the SC-11S1 ID numbers.  
3. 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 for the SC-11S1.  
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 separate 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 that can be connected using complete bi-amp must support bi-amp connections. Before connecting your  
speaker system, check the speaker system instruction manual, or contact the speaker manufacturer to check whether the  
speakers support bi-amp connections.

SPEAKER POSITIONING FOR SUPER  
AUDIO MULTI-CHANNEL SOUND  
CONNECTING THE POWER SUPPLY  
1. Plug the power cable into AC IN jack on the back panel.  
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.  
2. Turn on the power switch of the audio unit (amplifier, etc.)  
that is connected with this unit. Set the selector on the  
connected unit to this unit.  
3. Plug the power cable into an AC outlet.  
• 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.

then digitally processing the information.  
There are two types of input jack on this unit, BALANCED  
jack input and UNBALANCED jack input. The input types  
are independent from each other, and gain settings can be  
independently set.  
The procedure for setting the gain settings is the same for  
BALANCED input and UNBALANCED input.  
The standard gain can be set across a +6dB to –6dB range.  
The factory default setting is 0dB (23dB) from the standard  
gain.  
Hold Function  
Press the METER MODE button to hold the display of the  
left and right power output status at the time the button was  
pressed. When the METER MODE button is pressed again,  
hold is released. (Hold is also released if a different button is  
operated.)  
Normal display  
In Hold  
1. Press the BALANCED (UNBALANCED) button for 3  
seconds.The display changes from the power display to the  
gain setting mode, and the current gain value is displayed.  
In the gain setting mode, the amplifier switches to mute,  
and no sounds are output.  
How to Set Meter Mode  
There are two types of display mode for this unit’s digital  
power meter.  
Mode 1: The power display hold time is set to 1 second in this  
mode. The power output value is displayed every 1  
second.  
2. The setting value changes every time the BALANCED  
(UNBALANCED) button is pressed.Press the BALANCED  
(UNBALANCED) button until the desired gain value is  
displayed.  
Mode 2: The power display hold time is set to unlimited in  
this mode. When a larger output than the currently  
displayed value is output, that output value is  
displayed on the display.

REMOTE POWER CONTROL  
2. Check that the power to the unit and SC-11S1 that will be  
connected to it are both OFF.  
By connecting this unit to a Marantz SC-11S1 stereo control  
amplifier using the remote power control connection, the power  
controls of this unit are operated in sync with the SC-11S1  
power ON/OFF controls.  
The SC-11S1 has two trigger output terminals, therefore two  
SM-11S1s can be connected to one SC-11S1.  
3. After completing the connections shown below, switch the  
remote power control ON/OFF switch on the rear panel of  
the unit to ON.

TROUBLESHOOTING  
If you experience trouble with the SM-11S1, make the below  
checks before thinking the worst. Improper operation can  
cause the SM-11S1 to behave in a way that makes you think  
something is wrong with the equipment when actually not. If  
the trouble cannot be fixed after making the below checks,  
contact the place of purchase, your nearest Marantz dealer,  
our customer service center or our repair service center.  
7 Protective Circuits  
This unit is equipped with protective circuits to protect the  
amplifier circuits and speaker system against damage. If a  
protective circuit trips, the sound is instantly muted. In this  
case, “PROTECT” flashes on the display and the STANDBY  
indicator also flashes.  
At Power ON  
Power does not turn ON  
For about 8 seconds after power is activated, a protective  
circuit trips and mutes the sound to give amplifier circuits time  
to stabilize. Once the amplifier circuits stabilize, the protective  
circuit releases and audio is enabled.  
1. Is the power cable securely plugged into a power outlet?  
2. Is the remote power control switch on the rear panel set  
correctly?  
Nothing is heard from the speakers  
In the Event of Over current  
A protective circuit trips if current that exceeds the set 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 4Ω impedance. A protective circuit can also trip if a  
speaker cable accidentally shorts.In these cases, “PROTECT”  
flashes on the display, and the STANDBY indicator flashes red.  
To release the protective circuits, switch the power OFF, and  
wait for approximately 1 minute before switching the power  
back ON again.  
1. Is the SPEAKERS button on the front panel OFF?  
2. Is the input set correctly using the BALANCED button or  
UNBALANCED button on the front panel?  
3. Is the gain switching mode in use causing sound to be  
muted?  
4. Are connection cables and speaker cables securely  
connected?  
5. A protective circuit may have tripped causing sound to  
be muted. If PROTECT is flashing in the display, switch  
the power off and wait for approximately 1 minute before  
switching the power on again.  
If Strong Bass Signals Are Input  
A protective circuit trips if bass signals of an excessive level  
are detected.  
Sound from the speakers is not stereo  
In these cases, “PROTECT” flashes on the display, and the  
STANDBY indicator flashes red. To release the protective  
circuits, switch the power OFF, and wait for approximately 1  
minute before switching the power back ON again.  
The MODE switch on the rear panel may be set to BTL. If the  
switch is set to BTL, switch off the power, change the AMP  
MODE switch to STEREO, and then switch the unit’s power  
back on again.  
If the Amplifier Overheats  
A protective circuit trips if the temperature of the main amplifier  
rises above the set level, which can happen if excessive signal  
flow is continually input into the amplifier. Temperature can  
also exceed the trip level of the protective circuits if the vents  
on the top of the unit are covered, or if the unit is installed on  
a cramped audio rack. In these cases, “PROTECT” flashes  
on the display, and the STANDBY indicator flashes red. To  
release the protective circuit, switch off the power supply and  
wait for the amplifier to cool to operational temperature before  
switching the power on again.  
In the Event of Amplifier Trouble  
A protective circuit trips and automatically shuts off the power  
if an abnormality is detected in the power circuit for whatever  
reason.The same happens if the main fuse inside the amplifier  
blows. In these cases, the STANDBY indicator on the display  
flashes red.  
Switch off the power supply, and wait for a few minutes before  
switching the power on again. If the display does not light and  
the STANDBY indicator continues to flash after switching the  
power on again, the unit has a fault.
