Just got the Touch presets configured: Settings - Advanced - Beta Features - Shortcuts Only six presets available; I mapped press-hold numeral keys 1 - 6 to presets 1 - 6, which are the same as my Favorites 1 thru 6. Now my touch presets match my SB 2/3s except numeral keys 7, 8, 9 do nothing.

Let's try this: Using the remote, you have _exactly_ the same ability to turn off the Touch off that you had with the SB2/3. It's immediate. The music stops. You can set your off screensaver to display either a clock or completely turn off the screen. Consider the Touch interface to be a bonus.

I don't have an answer for a single one of your questions, but I'd try powering off (by physically pulling out the power plug) for several minutes, then powering back up. If that doesn't fix it, try doing a factory reset by holding in the reset button on the back of the unit for 15 seconds or so,

I'm glad to see it's not just me that's hearing a "switching" noise periodically. My Touch is fed into a DACMagic and every few minutes or so I hear the sound of a switch being flicked. Very annoying, especially late at night when playing music at a quiet level. I believe the noise is coming from
