Chapter Two : Setting Up PowerTouch

7.Touch or to select the next speaker.

8.Carefully listen to the volume level of the test noise. If the noise is a different volume than the noise from the

left front speaker, use or to adjust the vol- ume so that the volume matches the volume from the left front speaker. (Do not be concerned with the vol- ume number readout on the Level display—this is for reference purposes only. Use your ears to determine if the two speakers are playing at the same volume).

9.Repeat steps 7 and 8 until all the system’s speakers (except the subwoofer) play at the same volume.

10.To confirm the volume levels, touch until the Test Tone display reads “Auto.” The test noise will automati- cally cycle between all of the speakers. Fine-tune the chan- nel levels as necessary.

11.When all the channels sound like they’re the same vol- ume, you’ve balanced your system.

12.To turn off the test noise, touch until the Test Tone display reads “Off.”

Setting the Subwoofer Level: Because of the way hu- mans hear, the test noise the Speaker Level menu sends through the subwoofer will not sound as loud as it re- ally is. (The Speaker Level menu subwoofer test noise is designed to be used with a sound pressure level meter for balancing.)

Because of this, you cannot use that test noise to prop- erly calibrate the level of your subwoofer by ear. To set the subwoofer level, listen to familiar music or films that have strong bass content and adjust the subwoofer level until it sounds balanced with the rest of the speak- ers.

Identifying Devices For PowerTouch Control

Once your speakers are set up and configured, you must identify your component devices to PowerTouch. PowerTouch can be set up to control any device: if the device code is not already part of PowerTouch’s extensive li- brary, you can use the Learn feature to teach the device’s

commands to PowerTouch. You can also use this Learn function to expand the control capabilities of existing codes. For more information, see “What if my device does not work with any of the codes on the list? What if I Want PowerTouch to Control Additional Functions?” on page 39.

How Do I Identify Devices?

1.Make sure you have installed batteries and chosen a model type.

2.Touch (setup) on the Quick access menu to access the Setup menu.

3.Touch IR button on the Setup menu to access the IR Setup menu.
