Conne F.C.B.S PMKIRUBY

The PM-KI RUBY F.C.B.S. function is only valid between the same PM-KI RUBY models.

To turn the power of multiple F.C.B.S.-connected units ON/OFF, switch the power ON in order of lowest to highest ID number, and switch the power OFF in order of highest to lowest ID number.

How to set ID number for F.C.B.S.

Set F.C.B.S. ID PMKIRUBY
While holding F.C.B.S. ID on the rear panel, press Power Button .
Turn INPUT SELECTOR on the unit to select an ID number.

For a master unit, ID number 1 needs to be assigned. For a slave unit, set any of ID numbers 2 to 4.

Turn the unit off.
Again turn the unit on.

The ID number appears on the display for around 3 seconds.

The setting is saved.

The unit registered as a slave shows “SLAVE” on the display.

If using this unit by itself as a stereo amplifier, set the ID number to “0”. (Default setting is “0”.)

If the ID number is set to a number other than “0”, this unit cannot be used for standalone operation.
