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.
