Resetting the Microcomputer

The microcomputer may malfunction (unit cannot be operated, or shows an erroneous display) if the power cord is unplugged while the power is ON, or due to some other external factor. If this happens, execute the following procedure to reset the microcomputer and return the unit to its normal operating condition.

Please note that resetting the microcomputer will clear the contents of the memory and returns the unit to the state it was in when it left the factory.

For the U.S.A. and Canada

Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, then plug it back in while holding down the (POWER ON/STANDBY) key.

For other countries

With the power cord plugged in, turn the POWER ON/OFF key OFF. Then, while holding down the (POWER ON/ STANDBY) key, press POWER ON/OFF key.
