HOW TO SET ID NUMBERS
If using this unit by itself as a stereo amplifier, set the ID number
to “0” (Default setting is “0”).
Note:
If the ID number is set to a number other than “0”, this unit
cannot be used for standalone operation.
The ID number of the unit appears on the display for about 3
seconds after the power is activated.
When multiple PM-11S2s are connected, a unique ID number
must be set of each one in order to distinguish between
them.
The unit that centrally controls the other units takes ID 1.
The unit with ID1 is called the “Master”. The other units that
synchronize with the master are called “slaves” and take IDs
“2” ~ “4”.

POWER ON/OFF switch.
2. Turn the INPUT SELECTOR knob to the desired ID
number.
After finishing setting the ID number, turn power to the unit
OFF.
The setting is stored in memory and becomes active the next
time power to the unit is switched ON.
BI-AMP MODE
This unit is equipped with a bi-amp mode to enable a complete
bi-amp connection using two PM-11S2s. This complete
bi-amp connection is a high-end technique for enhancing
sound quality, proposed by Marantz. Using this system, the
bi-amp supporting speaker system is separated from the
preamplifiers that separately drive the low and high speakers.
(For more information, see STEREO COMPLETE BI-AMP
CONNECTION (page.17).)
The bi-amp mode is engaged by setting the operating mode
switch on the rear panel to “BI-AMP”. In the bi-amp mode, the
signals input to the L channel are split by the input selector and
sent to the left and right volume amplifiers, and are then output
to the PRE OUT terminals. The figures below show example
displays in the stereo and bi-amp modes.
Stereo mode Bi-amp mode
Notes:
• When in bi-amp mode, the R channel input jacks cannot
be used.
• When in bi-amp mode, the signals input into the L channel
are output from both channels. Therefore, the same
signals are output from the L channel and R channel in
RECORDER OUT, PRE OUT, PHONES OUT.
• Always turn the power to the unit OFF before changing
the operating mode switch setting. Turning the power ON
again activates the new setting.
