6. Touch

or

to select the next speaker.

noise. If the noise is a different volume than the

noise from the left front speaker, use

or

to adjust the volume so that the volume matches
the volume from the left front speaker. (Do not
be concerned with the volume 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).

8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 until all the system’s speakers

(except the subwoofer) play at the same volume.

9. To confirm the volume levels, touch

until the

Test Tone display reads “Auto.” The test noise will
automatically cycle between all of the speakers.
Fine-tune the channel levels as necessary.

10. When all the channels sound like they’re the

same volume, you’ve balanced your system.

11. To turn off the test noise, touch

until the

Test Tone display reads “Off.”

Setting the Subwoofer Level: Because of the
way humans hear, the test noise the Speaker
Level menu sends through the subwoofer will
not sound as loud as it really 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 properly 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 speakers.

touch

Bass Peak Level

Because of the way humans hear, the test noise the
Speaker Level menu sends through the subwoofer
will not sound as loud as it really is. (This Speaker
Level menu subwoofer test noise is designed to be
used with a sound pressure level meter for
balancig.) Because of this, you cannot use that test
noise to properly calibrate the level of your
subwoofer by ear. The PowerTouch contains a
separate setup menu for the subwoofer.

To set the subwoofer level:

1. If you are not already there, touch

on the Setup Surround menu to open the Bass
Peak Level memu.

2. Touch

until the Test Tone display reads

“On”.

3. Test noise will play from the subwoofer. Care-

fully listen to the volume level of the noise.

4. Use the left (

) or right (

) Level arrows to

raise the volume until the sound will be almost
distorted.

5. Touch

to save your settings.

6. Touch

to return to the Surround menu.

7. Touch

to return to the Setup menu. Touch it

again to return to the Main menu. You are now
finished setting up the speakers.

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 library, 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.
