Performing a hard reset (reset mode 1)

The hard reset function restores the switcher to the base firmware that it was shipped with. After a hard reset, events do not automatically start, but user settings and files are restored. Perform a hard reset as follows:

NThe hard reset restores the factory-installed firmware. The switcher reverts to that factory firmware the next time power is cycled off and on unless a firmware update is performed before the power cycle.

1.	If necessary, turn off power to the switcher.
2.	Press and hold the Reset button on the rear panel while you apply AC power
	to the switcher.
	Press and hold the Reset button while you apply power to the switcher.

	The switcher flashes the front panel button
	indicators red, green, red, and amber and then turns them off.
	Continue to hold the Reset button until all input and output buttons return

Optimizing the Audio (Systems with Audio BMEs)

Each individual input audio level can be adjusted within a range of -18 dB to

+24 dB, so that there are no noticeable volume differences between sources and for the best headroom and signal-to-noise ratio. Each output's volume can be adjusted from fully attenuated (muted) to full volume. Adjust the input audio gain and attenuation and output volume as follows:

1.	Connect audio sources to all desired inputs and connect the audio outputs to
	output devices such as audio players. See “Audio input and output (systems
	with audio BMEs)”, in chapter 2, “Installation”. For best results, wire all of
	the inputs and the outputs balanced.
2.	Power on the audio sources, the switcher, and the audio players.
3.	Switch among the inputs (see “Creating a configuration”, earlier in this
	chapter), listening to the audio with a critical ear or measuring the output
	audio level with test equipment, such as a VU meter.
4.	As necessary, adjust the input audio level of each input (see “Viewing and
	adjusting the input audio level (systems with audio BMEs)”, earlier in this
	chapter) so that the approximate output level is the same for all selected
	inputs.
5.	As necessary, adjust the output audio level of each input (see “Viewing and
	adjusting the output volume (systems with audio BMEs)”, earlier in this
	chapter).
