BASIC CONNECTIONS NAMES AND FUNCTIONS ENGLISH ADVANCED CONNECTIONS STEREO COMPLETE BI-AMP CONNECTION 1. 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. 16). 2. Set the ID numbers as explained in HOW TO SET ID NUMBERS (page. 17). When the ID1 amplifier is operated, the ID 2 amplifier will operate in sync. Set the AMP MODE switch on the rear panel to BI-AMP, referring to BI-AMP MODE (page 17). 3. Connect the analog output of the CD player etc. to the L ch input jacks of both pre-amps.
As both amplifiers operate as monaural amplifiers in BI-AMP mode, do not use the R channel of the input jacks on these units. Set the SPEAKERS button on the front panel of the two amplifiers to ON. ¶ 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.
