built-in memory power back-up system preserves the
contents of the memory during power failures and even when
the unit is unplugged. The unit must be plugged in order to
charge the back-up system.
The memory preservation period after the unit has been
unplugged varies depending on climate and placement of the
unit. On the average, memory contents are protected over a
period of a few weeks after the last time the unit has been
unplugged. This period is shorter when the unit is exposed to
a highly humid climate.

Speaker placement and connection
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.

• 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.

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.
Notes:
• 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 following describes how to play a multi-channel input
source. A multi channel input source refers to equipment with
5.1-channel output jacks (such as a DVD player). When
connected to the ED-205, the equipment outputs separate signals
to the 5 speaker channels (Left/Right front, Center, and Left/
Right Surround). The ED-205 then outputs the signal for the
subwoofer channel to its SUBWOOFER PRE OUT jack. In the
Multi-channel input mode, you cannot use the surround modes.
For how to connect a multi-channel input source, see page 7.
