Chapter Two: Setting Up PowerTouch
Remote Setup
Your new PowerTouch controls your new receiver and can be set up to control most components attached to it. PowerTouch appears and functions a little differently from traditional remotes. It incorporates sophisticated engineer- ing and design to allow you to simply touch the screen to press buttons and operate controls. You can touch the screen with your finger or with the stylus stored at the top of the PowerTouch.
Because it can control so many different devices, it presents a separate set of controls for each device on an LCD screen. Touch an icon on the screen to access further menus or con- trols for devices.
Only devices previously identified and connected to the receiver will appear as icons on the display screen. If you are “missing” an icon on your display screen, make sure you have identified the device to PowerTouch. This chapter describes identifying devices to PowerTouch.

If you use PowerTouch outside of it’s range (see “How is PowerTouch Powered?” on page 5 of the Users’ Guide) PowerTouch’s display may show incorrect information.
When your batteries begin to run low, PowerTouch displays a Low Battery message. Clear the message by touching check
mark icon (
) and replace all batteries as described here.
Maximize the life of your batteries by turning the Backlight off if you are not trying to use PowerTouch in the dark. For more information on the Backlight, see the Users’ Guide.
If you cannot see anything on the screen after replacing batteries, try to adjust the screen contrast. See 74 page of the Users’ Guide.
Under some circumstances (for example, if you plan to use multiple remotes), you can set PowerTouch up to commu- nicate via a hardwired cable and be powered by a AC adapter/wall cube. If you choose this setup option, you should contact the store where you purchased your receiver or a qualified, competent custom installer. For more infor- mation , call
