Chapter Two : Setting Up PowerTouch III
Once your speakers are set up and configured, you must
identify your component devices to PowerTouch III.
PowerTouch III can be set up to control any device: if the
device code is not already part of PowerTouch III's exten-
sive library, you can use the Learn feature to teach the
device's commands to PowerTouch III. You can also use this
Learn function to expand the control capabilities of exist-
ing codes. For more information, see "To Customize the
PowerTouch III Screen" on page 43.

Identifying Devices For PowerTouch III Control

• AV AUX
• TV1 and TV2 (these allow PowerTouch III to con-
trol your TV or cable tuner, even if it isn't connected
to one of the receiver's input jack sets).
Touch the name of the jack set you want to set up.
6. Touch to select the type of device you have
connected to the jack set.
7. Touch to select the device's brand.
8. Touch . You can now choose from a list of
all the codes available for the device. Touch the first code
on the list.
• If the Kenwood devices are connected with a system
control cable, be sure to select the code preceded by
"Sys-" or "System". This instructs PowerTouch III to
send all commands for the device to the receiver,
which will control the device via the system control
cable.
• If you have a Kenwood Dual-Play 200-Disc CD
Changer, you will need to set both CD1 and CD2/
TAPE2 to the correct code for this device ("Sys-
Mega").
9. Touch . This instructs PowerTouch III to send a
"power" test signal to the device. If your device turns
on, the code you entered was correct. If it does not turn
on, try the next code in the list. Continue until one of
the codes works. If none of the codes work, see "To Cus-
tomize the PowerTouch III Screen" on page 43.
If you enter a code preceded by "Sys-" or "System" on
step 8, skip this step.
10. When you have a code that works, touch
off that device on your list.
Repeat steps 5 through 10 for each input until you are fin-
ished identifying devices to PowerTouch III. When you are
done, turn to "How Do I Operate Devices?" on page 35 of
the Users' Guide and note which icon corresponds to which
connected device.
How Do I Replace a Setup Code with a New
One?
If you purchase a new device to replace an existing device,
you will need to identify the new device to PowerTouch III.
To do so:
1. Connect the device as described in the appropriate section
of Chapter One of this manual.
2. Follow the steps under "How Do I Identify Devices?" on
this page for that input.
The new code will replace the old code.

How Do I Delete Setup Codes?

If you disconnect a device and do not plan to replace it,
you may want to delete the setup code from PowerTouch
III. To do so:
1. Follow the steps under "How Do I Identify Devices?" on
this page to select a jack set.
2. Touch . Scroll to the device "Nothing" then
touch it. That device is no longer controlled by
PowerTouch III.
