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 engineer-
ing 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.
Before you can set up any PowerTouch III item, you need to
install batteries.
• The batteries that came with your new PowerTouch III
34
are intended for you to use for an operation check—
they may not last as long as ordinary batteries. We rec-
ommend replacing them with alkaline batteries for nor-
mal use.
To install the batteries:
1. Press down and back on the battery cover to remove it.

Chapter Two: Setting Up 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 con-
trols for devices.
Only devices previously identified and connected to the re-
ceiver 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.

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 dis-
plays a Low Battery message. Clear the message by touch-
ing check mark icon ( ) and replace all batteries as de-
scribed 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 bat-
teries, 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 com-
municate 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 infor-
mation, 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.
