Chapter Two : Setting Up PowerTouch
Custom setup: Use this method for a more customized
setup where you determine more of the speaker settings,
such as the bandwidth of the sound sent to each speaker.
Custom setup configures the following: SW=subwoofer,
L=front left, R=front right, C=center, SL=surround left,
SR=surround right, SBL=surround back left and
SBR=surround back right.
a. Touch on the Speaker Selection menu:
b. Aim PowerTouch at the receiver and touch the
speaker button until the correct setting appears (see
below).
The front left and right buttons, the surround left
and right buttons and the surround back left and
right buttons are linked; if you touch one, you change
the settings for both.
• Off means you are not using the speaker. (Not avail-
able for front speakers). If no subwoofer is connected,
all bass below 80Hz is sent to front left and right
speakers.
• On means that you are using the speaker. (Only avail-
able for subwoofer).
• Select Nml (= Normal) if the speaker is not capable
of producing clean, deep bass energy at output levels
that match those produced by a typical powered
subwoofer. All bass below 80Hz in that channel is
removed from that speaker and is sent to the sub-
woofer
(or sent to the front speakers if subwoofer is
set to off) in all listening modes. Most speakers
should be considered Nml. If no subwoofer is con-
nected, that signal is sent to front left and right
speakers.
• Select Lrg (= Large) if the speaker is capable of pro-
ducing clean, deep bass energy at output levels that
match those produced by a typical powered
subwoofer. All bass below 80Hz in that channel is
left in that speaker in all listening modes.
The subwoofer may not output audio depending on
the setups of the input signal, speakers and listen
mode.
c. If you want to send bass to the subwoofer in all
Listen modes, touch until “On” appears above
the button. SW Re-Mix mixes some of the bass from
your all the speakers back into your subwoofer.
The SW Re-Mix ON/OFF is defeated when you set
your front speakers to set Nml.
d. Touch to save your settings.
e. Touch to move to the next speaker setting or
touch to return to the Setup Surround menu.
