ES-HT900-LCR-6
Welcome to Episode® Speakers. We appreciate your purchase and are committed
to providing the highest-quality products possible.
The Episode® LCR model is a superb choice for almost every type of home theater
or home audio installation. It has been designed with advanced technological
components that allow for high performance and a lifetime of enjoyment.
WALL MOUNTING
The ES-HT900-LCR-6 can be mounted on a wall using the included
keyhole. Install the keyhole in one of the four pre-drilled locations on the
rear of the speaker (shown on drawing) using the two included screws.
On the wall, be sure to use a screw or mounting hardware capable of
supporting the weight of the ES-HT900-LCR-6 (31 lbs.) (not included).
Be certain that the screw is installed securely into solid material, such as
a stud located in the wall or a suitable wall anchor. Install provided rubber
bumpers to back of speaker in order to stabilize speaker on wall.
CONNECTING AND CHECKING SPEAKER PHASE
To ensure proper speaker connections, perform the following steps:
1. At each loudspeaker connection, ensure that at least 2 inches of each conductor are separated.
Strip away 1/4 inch of insulation from each conductor. Connect the appropriate conductor to each
five-way binding post observing correct polarity.
If you connect your speakers out of phase, one loudspeaker will be playing at the opposite ‘time’ as
the other, which will result in sound that lacks bass and sounds “warbly” or “distant” with vocals. If
you suspect the sound is not right and you cannot see any markings on the wire to verify polarity is
correct, try this simple test:
• Sit between the loudspeakers.
• Play some music with your receiver set to Mono.
• Listen to the bass. Is it full or thin? Listen to volume of the bass as well.
• Turn off your receiver and reverse the connections for one of the speakers.
• Repeat your test at the same volume level. When the sound has the loudest and best
sounding bass and also sounds best in the vocal region, your connections are correct and in-phase.
2. Connect the other end of the loudspeaker wires to the home theater receiver (or amplifier)
and loudspeakers in the same way.
3. Turn on the home theater receiver and calibrate all loudspeakers in the system according
to the receiver (or surround processor) manufacturer’s instructions.
CLEANING
Use a dampened soft cloth or paper towel to clean the cabinet. The grille is best cleaned by
brushing it off with a lint-free cloth.
