Listening Test
It's a good idea to test everything at this point.
1. Turn on your stereo system or music source. Make sure that the volume
control is turned down and that the balance control is set to center.
2. Gently turn up the volume. You should hear music coming out of your new
Russound Speakers! (If you don't, refer to the troubleshooting guide.)
3. Now rotate the stereo's balance control all the way to the left. Sound should
only come out of your left speaker. If it comes out of the right speaker, skip
to Step 5.
4. Rotate the balance control all the way to the right. Sound should only come
out of the right speaker.
5. If sound comes from the right speaker when the stereo's balance control is
turned to the left, you'll need to change the connections on the back of the
amplifier/receiver. Note: Turn off the amplifier. Swap the wires attached to
the left and right speaker terminals.

Grille Installation
After all adjustments and listening tests are made install the grille. Insert the
speaker grille by placing it over the speaker baffle and aligning its edges in the
frame. Press gently into place, taking care not to scratch the frame finish or
bend the grille. In most installations, the grilles will fit tightly without causing
vibration. If any audible vibration does occur, use the pre-cut lengths of special
damping/adhesive material.
