TESTS AND ADJUSTMENTS
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
amplifi er/receiver.
Note:
Turn off the amplifi er. Swap the wires attached to
the left and right speaker terminals.
Tweeter Adjustment
The tweeters pivot and should be aimed toward the intended listener. Before
installing the grill, gently press on the outside of the tweeter ring as shown.
(Not applicable for the RSF-61T)

tweeter to achieve desired angle.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Troubleshooting Guide
Before returning your Russound speakers for service, try these simple
remedies fi rst.
No sound from either speaker:
• Incorrect source selected on receiver or preamplifi er.
• Mute button pressed on receiver.
• Wrong speaker output selected; many receivers have an "A" and "B" speaker
switch. Make sure it is in the correct position.
• In-wall Volume control not turned up or wired incorrectly.
• If using a speaker selector, room/station not turned on or improperly
connected.
No sound from one speaker:
• Unsecured connection at either the speaker or amplifi er - double-check all
connections.
• Balance control turned all the way left or right - return it to center.
• Bad connecting cable between sound source and amplifi er - try a new
cable.
• Check for stray wire strands crossing the speaker terminals.
• Defective speaker - contact your Russound dealer or call Russound Tech
Support at 603.659.5170.
• Any other problems not listed, discuss with your dealer or call Russound.
