FINAL ASSEMBLY

1.If you haven’t done so already during painting, remove the perfo- rated grilles from both Russound In-Wall Speakers. Use the clamp (dog-ear) to push the grille out from the back side.

2.Center the frame in the cut-out hole and tighten the screws until the clamps are drawn up snugly from behind, clamping the speak- er in place. Try to tighten each screw equally but do not over tighten.

3.Place speaker baffle in frame and attach with supplied screws.

4.Insert the Russound speaker grille by gently pressing it into place.

In most installations, the grilles will fit tightly without causing vibra- tion. If any audible vibration does occur, or if your Russound speakers are ceiling mounted, you finally get to use the contents of that mys- terious packet with the black stuff wrapped in little white papers. They are pre-cut lengths of a special damping/adhesive material. Remove the perforated grille, unwrap four of the damping strips and affix them to the four outer corners of the inner speaker surface. Then replace the grille.

A QUICK LISTENING TEST

It’s a good idea to test everything at this point. Also, although we’ve paid close attention to speaker polarity, we hope you labeled your wires to identify the left and right speakers.

1.Turn on your stereo system. Make sure that the VOLUME control is turned down and that the BALANCE control is set to center.

2.Activate a musical source such as FM or CD player.

3.Gently turn up the volume. You should hear music coming out of your new Russound In-Wall Speakers! (If you don’t, refer to the troubleshooting guide below.)

4.Now rotate the stereo’s BALANCE control all the way to the LEFT. Sound should only come out of your left in-wall speaker. If it comes out of the RIGHT speaker, skip to Step 6.

5.Rotate the BALANCE control all the way to the RIGHT. Sound should only come out of the right speaker.

6.If sound comes from the right speaker when the stereo’s balance control is turned to the LEFT, you’ll need to change the connec- tions on the back of the amplifier/receiver.

*FIRST TURN OFF THE AMPLIFIER!

*Swap the wires attached to the left and right speaker terminals.

A QUICK TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Before returning your Russound In-Wall Speakers for service, it is a good idea to check out these simple remedies first.

No sound from either speaker:

1.Incorrect source selected on receiver or preamplifier.

2.Mute button pressed on receiver.

3.Wrong speaker output selected; many receivers have an “A” and “B” speaker switch. Make sure it’s in the right position.

4.In-Wall Volume control not turned up or wired incorrectly.

5.If using a “speaker selector”, room/station not turned on or improperly connected

No sound from one speaker:

1.Un-secure connection at either the speaker or amplifier-double- check them.

2.Balance control turned all the way left or right-return it to center.

3.Bad connecting cable between sound source and amplifier - try a new cable.

4.Defective speaker - contact your Russound dealer or call our cus- tomer tech department at 603.659.5170.

*Any other problems not listed, discuss with your dealer or call Russound.
