Troubleshooting Guide; Limited Warranty; Owner Responsibilities - Paradigm Monitor Serie Mode D'emploi

FINE TUNING
(continued)
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.

program. If necessary, adjust your Audio/Video Processor's or A/V Receiver's
