Start with just the front speakers and listen to familiar music in stereo.
The soundstage will be both wide and deep, but this can be tuned to your
personal preference by adjusting the toe-in (the amount the speakers are
turned toward the listening area). More toe-in will increase image depth
and localization, less toe-in will increase image width. Adjust the toe-in in
small increments, listening each time, until you achieve the soundstage
balance you prefer. Toe-in is not applicable to the other speakers in your
system since their position and sound distribution pattern is fixed.
Fine tuning for center speakers is a matter of making volume level adjust-
ments that may be required for a particular multi-channel music or movie
program. If necessary, adjust your Audio/Video Processor’s or A/V Receiver’s
volume levels to ensure there is a cohesive overall soundstage.
To fine tune your surround/rear speakers or the subwoofer, refer to the
Owners Manual included with those speakers.

Make sure receiver, preamp or amplifier is plugged in and turned on. Check power outlet at the wall is working. Are headphones
plugged in, or is system on Mute? Re-check all connections.
Check your balance control or VC-150 Volume Control (if using). Check that all power cords are properly plugged in and
functioning. Swap a non-working speaker with one that works to determine if the problem is with the speaker or something
else (i.e. wiring, amplifier).
FINE TUNING
(continued)
One or more speakers may be connected out of phase (their polarity is reversed). Re-check to ensure that each speaker’s cable
is connected with correct polarity: red (+) to red (+) and black (-) to black (-).
