•The TX-SR501/TX-SR501E contains a microcomputer for signal processing and control functions. In very rare situations, severe inter- ference, noise from an external source, or static electricity may cause it to lockup. In the unlikely even that this should happen, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait at least five seconds, and then plug it back in again. That should fix it.

•To reset the TX-SR501/TX-SR501E to its factory defaults, turn it on and, while holding down the [VIDEO 1] button, press the [STANDBY/ON] button. “Clear” will appear on the display and the TX-SR501/TX-SR501E will enter Standby mode.
