Preparation
HDAM®SA3 Module
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.
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.
Linear Control Volume
The control knob had adopted the high-end model design
concept. For better S/N ratio, the MAS6116 from Micro
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.
F.C.B.S.
A Floating Control Bus System (F.C.B.S.) enables the
user to connect up to four PM-14S1 units, making a
diversity of applications possible with complete bi-amp
and multichannel connections. Moreover, a ground loop
is not formed among multiple PM-14S1 units connected;
therefore, sound quality is not adversely a ected.
BI-AMP Mode
Complete bi-amp connection proposed by Marantz enables
a level of reproduction of the acoustic fi eld never before
achieved. Synchronized operation of two PM-14S1 units is
made possible by F.C.B.S. (Floating Control Bus System)
connection, with each PM-14S1 in Bi-Amp mode working
as a monaural integrated amplifi er.
Connections Playback Settings Tips Appendix
Power Amplifi er Direct In Mode
In this mode, this unit works as a power amplifi er. This
mode will be useful in home theater systems.
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 e ect on sound quality.

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-14S1 units (up to 4 units). Each unit is controlled via its ID number
registered beforehand.
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.
Once registered the ID numbers, the units will enable link control operations such as input
selection, volume control, on/o 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.
For details on the ID number settings, see vpage18 “Setting ID number for F.C.B.S”.
Preparation for F.C.B.S. connection
n Making the F.C.B.S. connection
To use multiple PM-14S1 units, make this connection in addition to audio connection.
For details on each connection feature, refer to the respective instructions.
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 mini plug "! monaural mini plug connecting cable
n Connection 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.
ID 1 Master
ID 2 Slave
ID 3 Slave
•Stereo mini plug "! stereo mini plug connecting cable
NOTE
Do not use connecting cables that contain resistance.

ID 4 Slave
NOTE
•The PM-14S1 F.C.B.S. function is only valid between the same PM-14S1 models. This
function may not operate correctly if other Marantz models (PM-11S3, etc.) are connected.
•To turn the power of multiple F.C.B.S.-connected units on/o, switch the power on in order
of lowest to highest ID number, and switch the power o in order of highest to lowest ID
number.

n Speaker positioning for Super Audio CD 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 multichannel discs are recorded and mixed so as to achieve the
optimum eect 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. If using
speakers of diering 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
owner’s manual that came with the subwoofer.

Explanation terms
MM/MC cartridge select
There are two types--MM (Moving Magnet) and MC (Moving
Coil)--of cartridges for turntable.
As the output levels for these two types of cartridges dier,
the setting of the phono equalizer that is mounted in this unit
must be switched according to the type of cartridge for your
turntable. For switching, use the PHONO MC button on this
unit.
Speaker impedance
This is an AC resistance value, indicated in Ω (Ohms). Greater
power can be obtained when this value is smaller.
Protection circuit
This is a function to prevent damage to devices within the
power supply when an abnormality such as an overload,
excess voltage occurs or over temperature for any reason.
If a malfunction occurs in this unit, the power indicator blinks
red and the unit switches to standby mode.
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 STANDBY indicator also flashes.
To deactivate the protection circuit, turn the unit o then back
on again after about 1 minute or more.
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.
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/ohms impedance. The protection
circuit is also activated if a speaker cable shorts.
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.
To deactivate the protection circuit, turn the unit o then back
on again after about 1 minute or more.
If the main-amplifier overheats
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 suciently 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 o, let it
stand until it cools down, then turn it ON again.
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 STANDBY indicator
flashes.
Turn the unit o 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.
24
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 o then back
on again after about 1 minute or more.
