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

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.

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.
How Do I Identify Devices?
1. Make sure you have installed batteries.
2. Touch on the Main menu to access the
Setup menu.
