7 Do Not Locate in the Following
77
Places
To ensure long-lasting use, do not locate the PM-15S1 where:
• Exposed to direct sunlight.
• Near to sources of heat such as heaters.
• Highly humid or poorly ventilated.
• Dusty.
• Subjected to mechanical vibrations.
• On wobbly, inclined or otherwise unstable surfaces
• Radiated heat is blocked such as in cramped audio racks.
To ensure proper heat radiation, ensure the below clearance
from walls and other equipment.
77
7 Do Not Touch Hot Spots During
77
and Immediately After Use
During and immediately after use, the PM-15S1 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.
77
7 Battery Handling
77
Improper use of dry cell batteries can result in electrolyte leaks,
rupture and corrosion. Read the following precautions before
use.
• If not planning to use the remote controller for an extended
period of 1 month or more, remove the batteries.
• Do not mix old batteries with new batteries.
• Load batteries in the proper direction indicated on the remote controller.
• Do not mix batteries of differing type. Even batteries of the
same shape and size can have differing voltages.
• If batteries leak, wipe the case clean of any adhering electrolyte and replace the old batteries with new batteries.

ENGLISH
FEATURES
Marantz has surpassed itself with the new PM-15S1 stereo
integrated amplifier, which incorporates many of the design
concepts of the PM-11S1 flagship model amplifier.
Amplifier
• HDAM
As in the PM-11S1 model, the PM-15S1 also incorporates the
HDAMSA2 as the main amp module. The HDAMSA2 includes an input buffer, linear control volume and power buffer.
• Linear Control Volume
PM-15S1 inherits the Linear Control Volume system used in
the PM-11S1, which offers smooth volume control of ±0.5dB
steps in a range of 0dB - 100dB.
• Current Feedback Phono Equalizer
The Phono Equalizer, which has MM/MC type cartridge support, also inherits the Current Feedback Phone Equalizer used
in PM-11S1.
• Input Buffer
The input buffer is composed of the HDAMSA2 in the input
section, which enables signals from the input source to be
transmitted precisely to the linear control volume.
• Power Amplifier
Following closely in the footsteps of its predecessor, the PM11S1 is designed using a two-amplifier construction. By using
a two-amplifier system, the power buffer uses high power to
drive the speakers, therefore cutting the effects of Back EMF
from the speakers.
SA2
Power
• Power Transformers
Newly developed Toroidal power transformers are used in the
PM-15S1 because they produce less vibration and magnetic
leak than ordinary laminate design transformers. Vibration reduction is achieved by using ring shaped core materials, while
rigorous controls are maintained on the manufacturing process. Furthermore, the transformer periphery is covered with
a ring core and short ring to reduce magnetic flux leak.
• LC Ripple Filter
An LC Ripple Filter has been incorporated into the pre-amp
power circuit, which provides “clean” power to the pre-amp
section. “Clean” power is achieved by cutting out rectifier noise
generated by the rectifier circuit, as well as external high frequency noise.
Functions
• Bi-Amp Mode
The complete bi-amp connection proposed by Marantz with
the SC-7S1 and MA-9S1 reproduces a sound environment
never before experienced. This same bi-amp connection has
been made possible with the PM-15S1. Two PM-15S1s are
connected by F.C.B.S. in a bi-amp mode that enables each to
work as a monaural integrated amplifier.
• Floating Control Bus System
A Floating Control Bus System (FCBS) enables the user to
connect up to four PM-15S1s, making possible a diversity of
applications with complete bi-amp and multiple channel
connections.(pg. 6, 7) Moreover, a ground loop is not formed
between multiple connected PM-15S1s, therefore sound quality is not adversely affected.
2
• Display
The PM-15S1 adopts an LCD to display input source and volume level. Compared to other types of display panels, an LCD
generates less drive noise and radiated noise, hence the effect on sound quality is minimal.
BEFORE MAKING CONNECTIONS
WIRING SPEAKER CABLE
• Be careful not to short circuit in wiring speaker cables.
• Peel off the corting of speaker cable as shown below.

• Wiring with speaker cable.

Turn clockwise

Here following are explained two types of connections that
improve sound quality. The speakers in these explanations
have low and mid/high input jacks that support a bi-amp connection. To determine whether or not your speakers support a
bi-amp connection, check in the instruction manual that came
with your speakers or contact the manufacturer.
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.
The PM-15S1 and speakers of Connection Example 1 (pg. 5)
use a bi-wiring connection, therefore also refer to that page
for help.

Your speaker system must satisfy the below conditions. If it
does not, the PM-15S1’s protective circuit will trip, whereby
preventing proper playback. In some cases, the amplifier and
speakers may be damaged.
• If using 1 set of speakers, total speaker impedance must be
4Ω or more.
• If using 2 sets of speakers, total speaker impedance must
be 8Ω or more.
COMPLETE BI-AMP CONNECTION
Proposed by Marantz, the complete bi-amp connection enhances the bi-wiring connection. With it, 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. Connection Example 3 (pg. 7) connects
two PM-15S1s by FCBS in a complete bi-amp connection,
therefore also refer to that page for help.

SPEAKER POSITIONING FOR SUPER
BEFORE MAKING CONNECTIONS

77
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 ITUR 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.
