Memory Backup
This product is equipped with a memory
backup system that preserves tuner
presets and system configuration
information if the unit is accidentally
unplugged or subject to a power outage.
This memory will last for approximately
one week, after which time all
information must be re-entered.

In the rare case where the unit’s operation
or the displays seem abnormal, the cause
may involve the erratic operation of the
system’s memory or microprocessor.

reconnect the ACpower cordand check
the unit’s operation. If the system still
malfunctions, a system reset may clear
the problem.

If a reset does not solve the problem,
consult an authorized Harman Kardon
