Connecting the speaker cables
1 Peel the insulation off the ends of the speaker cable 15 mm.
Do not cut core wires.
2 Twist the core wires.
3 Press the lever below the speaker terminal to open the
connection hole.
4 Insert the core wires into connection hole.
5 Return the lever to the original position.Make sure that the
core wires are barely visible where they enter the connection
hole.
Notes:
• Be sure to connect the Right and Left speakers to the unit's
corresponding speaker terminals. Also, be sure that you are
connecting the speaker's positive (+) and negative (-) binding
posts with unit's corresponding speaker terminals. Otherwise,
inferior sound will result.
• Use speakers whose nominal impedance is 6 to 16
Ω.
Connecting a speaker whose impedance is lower than 6
Ω
may
cause damage to the unit.
• Do not connect two or more speaker cables to the same
speaker terminal. Doing so may cause damage to the unit.
• To prevent damage to the circuitry, never short-circuit the
positive (+) and negative (-) speaker wires by allowing them
to touch each other.
The unit is equipped with speaker terminals for connecting the
Center speaker and Surround speakers, in addition to the
SUBWOOFER PRE OUT jack to allow connection to your
Subwoofer.
Use the ED-205's SUBWOOFER PRE OUT jack to connect
your Subwoofer, even if your amplifier also has a subwoofer
connection jack.
Connect the Left and Right front speakers to your amplifier's
speaker terminals.
Speaker placement
In this section, only one example of possible speaker placement
is shown. Note, however, that ideal speaker placement varies
depending on the size of the room and the wall coverings used
in the room. To obtain ideal sound field effects, the Left and
Right front speakers must be placed at equal distances from the
listening position.
Important Points
• Left and Right front speakers (L/R) and Center
speaker (C)
Place these three speakers at the same height from the floor.
Place each speaker so that sound is aimed at the audience's
ears at the listening position.
• Left and Right Surround speakers (LS/RS)
Place these speakers so that their height is 1 meter (3 feet)
higher than that of the audience's ears.
• Subwoofer (SW)
Place it anywhere in your listening room that produces
satisfactory sound. The placement of the Subwoofer affects
the perceived direction of the sound very little, but optimal
bass reproduction will be achieved with placement in a
corner.
If your speaker system lacks Subwoofer, Center
speaker, or Surround speakers
To get the highest-quality surround sound from the ED-205, you
need a complete set of 6 speakers. However, you can enjoy
quality surround sound by setting the ED-205 to properly
distribute the sound originally intended for these non-existing
speakers to existing front and surround speakers, even if your
system lacks the subwoofer, center speaker, or surround
speakers.
