2. If the woofer cone moves outwards when momentari-
ly energized, the speaker is wired correctly. If the woofer
cone moves inward, the polarity is reversed, and the
wire’s positive and negative conductors should be
switched on the back of the speaker.
TO TEST CHANNEL CONNECTIONS:
1. Turn on your stereo system. Make sure that the VOL-
UME control is turned down and that the BALANCE con-
trol is set to center.
2. Activate a musical source such as FM or CD player.
3. Slowly turn up the volume. You should hear music
coming out of your new Russound Speakers. (If you
don’t, refer to the troubleshooting guide below.)
4. Make sure sound emanates from all speakers in the
system.
5. Now rotate the stereo’s BALANCE control all the way to
the LEFT. Sound should only come from the left speaker.
If sound comes from the right speaker when the stereo’s
balance control is turned to the LEFT, you’ll need to swap
the connections on the back of the amplifier/receiver.
6. FIRST turn DOWN the VOLUME and turn OFF the
AMPLIFIER!
7. For Surround Sound use the level setting test tone
built into most Surround Sound processors.
8. Swap the wires attached to the left and right speaker
terminals.
9. Repeat steps 1 through 5.
