Chapter Two : Setting Up PowerTouch

Identifying Devices For PowerTouch Control

Remote Setup

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 “To Customize the PowerTouch Screen” on page 43.
