Introduction  
Congratulations.on.your.  
and.tweeters.are.arranged.in.a.  
dispersion.averaging.alignment.  
which.focuses.the.sound.at.the.  
listening.position.for.unbeliev-  
able.imaging..Another.benefit.of.  
this.alignment.is.reduced.sound.  
reflections.from.other.surfaces.in.  
the.listening.environment..These.  
sonic.attributes.are.not.typically.  
found.in.a.speaker.capable.of.  
delivering.the.sound.pressure.  
levels.the.T-30LSE.can.produce.

Setup Suggestions  
As.a.general.guide,.use.the.room.  
layout.diagram.shown.below.and.follow.  
the.descriptions.when.setting.up.a.home.  
theater.system..Some.speakers.shown.  
in.the.room.layout.diagram.may.not.be.  
applicable.to.your.individual.system.  
position.to.each.speaker.should.be.close.  
to.the.distance.that.separates.the.two.  
main.speakers..Angling.the.speakers.inward.  
towards.the.listening.position.may.give.a.  
more.spacious.and.realistic.sound.stage..  
Center Channel Speaker  
Front Main Speakers  
The.Center.Channel.Speaker.should.  
be.placed.between.both.left.and.right.  
main.speakers..Often.this.positioning.  
dictates.placing.the.speaker.either.directly.  
above.or.below.a.television.monitor.  
As.a.starting.point,.place.your.left.and.  
right.front.speakers.at.least.15.inches.  
from.the.wall.and.7-feet.apart.from.each.  
other..The.distance.from.the.listening.  
NOTE:. There. are. several. different. surround. formats. available.. Dolby. Pro-Logic,. Pro-Logic. II,. Dolby. Digital. and. DTS.  
generally.have.a.5.speaker.plus.subwoofer.requirement..Dolby.Digital.EX.and.DTS.ES.add.a.center.rear.speaker..Dolby.  
TrueHD.and.DTS.Master.Audio.available.only.on.Blu-ray.disc,.generally.have.a.7.1.requirement..Please.consult.your.audio/  
video.professional.to.determine.which.system.is.best.for.you.and.how.many.speakers.you.will.require.

listening.room..Bass.frequen-  
cies.are.reinforced.by.close.  
room.boundaries..Placing.the.  
subwoofer.in.a.corner.will.make.  
the.subwoofer.sound.louder.and.  
boost.the.very.lowest.frequen-  
cies..Placing.the.subwoofer.  
away.from.walls.will.provide.  
the.least.reinforcement,.making.  
the.bass.sound.subjectively.

Rear Surround Speakers  
The.Surround.Speakers.may.  
be.placed.either.above,.behind.  
or.to.the.sides.of.the.listening.  
position..The.listening.position.  
should.be.centered.between.  
the.surround.speakers..For.best.  
performance,.you.may.want.to.  
experiment.with.angling.the.sur-  
round.speakers.either.towards.or.  
away.from.the.listening.position.

ent..This.is.especially.true.of.  
higher.quality.speakers,.such.  
as.those.you.have.purchased..  
Plan.on.giving.your.speak-  
ers.several.hours.of.playing.

Care and Cleaning  
To.keep.up.the.appearance.  
Grilles.can.get.pretty.dusty,.  
part.of.their.job.is.to.protect.  
your.speaker’s.drivers,.and.if.  
they’re.not.capturing.and.hold-  
ing.dust,.they’re.not.doing.their.  
job..To.clean.the.grille,.carefully.  
vacuum.to.remove.the.dust..  
and.speaker.maintenance.of.  
your.speaker,.lets.start.with.the.  
cabinet..Whether.your.cabinet.  
boasts.a.real.wood.veneer,.or.  
a.shiny.black.laminate.finish.  
it’s.still.going.to.get.dusty..  
You.will.definitely.want.to.keep.  
typical.furniture.polishes.or.  
sprays.away.from.your.speaker.  
cabinet..Simply.cleaning.the.  
cabinet.with.a.soft.cloth,.  
perhaps.lightly.dampened.by.  
water.should.easily.remove.any.  
dust..Wiping.dust.away.from.  
the.grille,.toward.the.back.of.  
the.speaker.is.recommended..  
Avoid.touching.your.drivers.as.  
much.as.possible.but.dust.can.  
certainly.build.up.on.drivers.too..  
If.your.drivers.have.become.seri-  
ously.dusty,.try.using.a.clean.dry.  
soft.bristle.paintbrush.to.remove.  
the.dust.by.lightly.brushing.off.  
the.dust,.or.use.a.can.of.com-  
pressed.air.to.blow.the.dust.off.  
Grilles.attract.dust,.and.if.  
you.bump.your.dusting.cloth.  
against.the.edge.of.grile,.  
you’re.likely.to.see.a.dusty.  
residue.appear.on.the.grille..
