Stereo complete bi-amp connection
This mode enables the two amplifiers connected to this unit
to function as one monaural amplifier. To use this mode, two
F.C.B.S. connected PM-14S1 units are required.
To switch the mode, use the amplifier mode switch on the
rear panel while the power is off.
The figures below show example displays in the stereo and
bi-amp modes.

In bi-amp mode, connect to the left channel input jack. The
right channel input is disabled.
The same signals are output from the left and right output
jacks.
NOTE
• Always turn the power to the unit off before changing the
operating mode switch setting. Turning the power on again
activates the new setting.
• 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

• Speaker systems connected using complete bi-amp
connections must support bi-amp connections. Before
connecting your speakers, check in the owner’s manual
that came with the speakers or contact the manufacturer to
confirm whether they support bi-amp connection.
