LS205EB PLACEMENT
Placement
The DUAL LS205EB can be placed in any convenient location
in your home - as stereo pairs on either side of your
receiver - as surround speakers in home theater surround
sound systems that include a subwoofer - or as remote
speakers.
Indoor Placement
You should experiment with various placements. Room
acoustics can produce large apparent differences in the
sound for small changes in the placement location. For
example, although the speaker may be located at any height
above the floor, locating the tweeter near ear level (32" – 36"
is optimum) or angling the entire speaker toward ear level,
often provides the most realistic imaging experience. The
amount of bass perceived increases as you move a speaker
closer to intersecting room surfaces (walls, ceiling, floor)
and the highest level of bass results are realized from
placement in a corner at the floor or ceiling.

LS205EB INSTALLATION
Connecting Speakers
Connecting Speaker Cable -Typical speaker cable has a pair of separate
Your Speakers speaker wires with insulating jackets that are molded
together. We recommend you use 18-gauge speaker wire
for hooking your speakers to your receiver.
Polarity - All speakers in a system must be connected with
the same polarity. Speaker wire is marked for polarity so
that you can identify the individual wires in the molded pair.
Polarity is shown by a color stripe on the insulation, by
ridges molded into the insulation, or by the colors of the
wires–one copper and one silver.
Important - Always connect the red (+) terminal on the
receiver to the red (+) terminal on the back of the DUAL
LS205EB, and the black (-) terminal on the receiver to the
black (-) terminal on the back of the DUAL LS205EB.

LS205EB TROUBLESHOOTING
Troubleshooting
If you believe you hear obvious distortion or knocking
sounds, immediately lower the volume level of your
receiver. Those sounds often indicate that either the receiver
or the speaker is being overdriven and damage can result in
playing your source material (Music-CD’s-DVD) at high
volumes. You should avoid turning the bass or treble
controls fully up or using your "Loudness button" when the
volume level also is turned up. This can lead to costly
loudspeaker failure.
Distortion/Knocking
Distorted or unnatural sound can indicate poor connections
or a speaker failure. If only one of your speakers has poor
sound quality, check the connections. If that doesn’t fix the
problem, try putting each speaker in place of one another .
If the sound remains poor on the suspect speaker and the
distortion moves to the new position, the speaker has a
problem. If the sound is OK, it is probably the receiver or the
speaker wiring that is causing the poor sound at the original
location.
