If your ZR-76 is behaving peculiarlyÑfor instance, the display is showing characters that shouldnÕt be
there, or youÕre experiencing Òunexpected eventÓ messagesÑthefollowing procedures may fix your problem,
eliminating the need to call an authorized ENSONIQ repair station or ENSONIQ Customer Service:
¥ A soft restartÑa button combination that acts like turning your ZR-76 off and on.

Performing a soft restart will result in your ZR-76 clearing its RAM memory, in the
same way that powering off and on would. If you decide to do a soft restart, try saving any
sequences or RAM sounds, presets or rhythms youÕd like to preserve to a floppy disk before
performing the restart. (see Chapter 9 for details).
¥ A hard reinitialization procedure performs a very deep-level reinitialization of the ZR-76. This
procedure should be primarily be used only in cases where the ZR's front-panel buttons, for some
reason, donÕt allow you to perform a soft restart, or if a soft restart fails to solve your problem.

During a hard reinitialization, any sounds, rhythms or presets in FLASH, as well
as any sounds, rhythms, presets, sequences or songs stored in RAM will be lost. All system
parameters will be reset, as well. If you decide to reinitialize, try saving any items you want
to preserve to a floppy firstÑsee Chapter 9 for details. The sounds and rhythms that were
in FLASH when you first purchased your ZR-76 are safely stored on the ZRD-100 floppy
disk that came with your ZR.

Make sure that everything in RAM that youÕd like to keep has been safely stored
on a floppy disk before you reinitialize, since reinitialization will clear the ZR's internal RAM
memory.
1. Press and hold down the SoundFinder Save button.
2. While still holding Save, press the Exit/No button.
If performing a soft restart doesnÕt end the strange occurrences, you may need to perform a hard
reinitialization of your ZR-76.

Make sure that everything in FLASH or RAM that youÕd like to keep has been
safely stored on floppy disk before you reinitialize, since reinitialization will clear the ZR's
internal entire INT memory (it will also reset all system settings to their default values). The
ZRD-100 floppy disk that shipped with your ZR contains a copy of the sound and rhythm
banks that were in FLASH when your ZR-76 shipped from the factory.
1. Turn your ZR-76 off.
2. Press and hold down the Song Editor Erase button.
3. While still holding Erase, turn your ZR-76 on and allow it to power up fully before letting go of erase.
If reinitializing the ZR-76 fails to correct the problem, contact an Authorized ENSONIQ Repair Station
or ENSONIQ Customer Service at (610) 647-3930.
