outputs. Push in the top of the rocker switch to turn the speaker
on. Push in the bottom of the rocker switch to turn the speaker off.
Speaker Output 1 – 5 Switches

Troubleshooting
Most difficulties in audio systems are the result of incorrect con-
nections, or improper control settings. The RSS-900 is a passive
device with no power supply or components that are likely to fail.
If you encounter problems, it is probably the result of another
component in the system. If the problem does involve the RSS-900
it is probably a matter of improper connections.
No Sound
If one or both channels is not producing sound, check to see if
other speaker outputs are functioning properly. If the problem is
isolated to one set of speakers it is probably the result of improper
connections to the RSS-900 or the speakers.
If all the speaker sets in the system are experiencing the same
problem check another signal source. If neither channel is pro-
ducing sound check the tape monitor switches on the preamplifier
(or integrated amplifier, or receiver) to be sure they are properly
set. If the problem persists check the connections between the
preamp and power amp (if appropriate) and the connections be-
tween the speaker outputs and the RSS-900 inputs. Be sure there
are no loose strands of wire causing a short circuit between the
connection terminals at either the amplifier outputs or the RSS-
900 inputs.
Distorted Sound
There is almost nothing that involves the RSS-900 that could pro-
duce distorted sound. Such problems are almost certainly the re-
sult of problems elsewhere in the system. In rare instances a
loose strand of speaker wire that is barely touching the other wire
or terminal can cause an intermittent crackling noise. This is easy
to check and eliminate as a possible source of the problem.
