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.

Connecting the speaker cables

1Peel the insulation off the ends of the speaker cable 15 mm. Do not cut core wires.

2Twist the core wires.

3Press the lever below the speaker terminal to open the connection hole.

4Insert the core wires into connection hole.

5Return 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 16Ω. Connecting a speaker whose impedance is lower than 6Ω 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.
