Chapter Three: Using Receiver's Front Panel to Set Up the Speakers and Radio Stations

You can also perform the Speaker Setup and program pre-
set radio stations using the receiver's front panel. (If you
have already set up the speakers or programmed radio sta-
tions using PowerTouch III you don't have to repeat the
procedures using the front panel.)
Since you still must use PowerTouch III to identify and set
up your source devices for control, we recommend that you
use it for all setup procedures.
• Do not operate PowerTouch III while you are perform-
ing Speaker Setup on the receiver's front panel.
Preparation for setup
Most of the front panel control buttons are located inside
the panel door. Make the following preparation for setup
on the receiver. Open the panel door by pressing the DOOR
OPEN/CLOSE button.
Press the DOOR OPEN/
CLOSE button to open
the panel door. To close
