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 engineering 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 controls 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.

•

The batteries that came with your new PowerTouch are

 

intended for you to use for an operation check—they

 

 

may not last as long as ordinary batteries. We recom-

 

 

mend replacing them with alkaline batteries for nor-

 

 

mal use.

 

To install the batteries:

 

1.

Press down and back on the battery cover to remove it.

Installing the Batteries

2. Insert six AA (LR6) batteries as shown:

3. Close the cover.

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 page 73 of the Us- ers’ 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.

(for U.K. only)

If you are installing the receiver in a home entertainment closet, a simpler installation option is to use the External Infrared Receiver. For more information, see “Connecting the External Infrared Receivers (for U.K. only)” on page 51.
