Chapter Two : Setting Up PowerTouch III Chapter Two: Setting Up PowerTouch III Your new PowerTouch III controls your new receiver and can be set up to control most components attached to it. PowerTouch III 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 PowerTouch III. 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 have controls appear on the display screen. If a device's control icons are "missing" on your display screen, make sure you have identified the device to PowerTouch III. This chapter describes identifying devices to PowerTouch III. This chapter contains the following sections: Installing the Batteries Calibrating the Touch Screen Selecting the Model Type Navigating PowerTouch III Interface Setting Up Speakers Identifying Devices For PowerTouch III Control Storing Radio Stations in Memory page 34 page 35 page 35 page 36 page 37 page 40 page 41 Remote Setup Before you can set up any PowerTouch III item, you need to install batteries. 34 • The batteries that came with your new PowerTouch III are intended for you to use for an operation check- they may not last as long as ordinary batteries. We recommend replacing them with alkaline batteries for normal use. To install the batteries: 1. Press down and back on the battery cover to remove it. Installing the Batteries 2. Insert four C (LR14) batteries as shown: 3. Close the cover. If you use PowerTouch III outside of it's range (see "How is PowerTouch III Powered?" on page 5 of the Users' Guide) PowerTouch III's display may show incorrect information. When your batteries begin to run low, PowerTouch III 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 III in the dark. For more information on the Backlight, see page 73 of 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 III up to communicate via a hardwired cable and be powered by an 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 information, call 1-800-KENWOOD or visit the Kenwood Web site at http://www.kenwoodusa.com. If you are installing the receiver in a home entertainment closet, a simpler installation option is to use the IR-9991 External Infrared Receiver. For more information, see "To Connect a Kenwood IR-9991 IR Transceiver:" on page 55.
