Restoring the Factory-programmed Settings (Fac-
tory Set)
You can reset all the settings of the MR816 CSX/
MR816 X to the initial factory-programmed one by turn-
ing the power on (pressing the [STANDBY/ON] switch
to the ON position) while holding the multi function
encoder knob and [PAD] button. While the operation is
being performed, all the lamps of the MR816 CSX/
MR816 X will flash. When the flashing stops, the opera-
tion is completed and the MR816 CSX/MR816 X starts
normally with the factory settings.
CAUTION
•Never attempt to turn off the power while factory settings
are being written to internal memory.
Tur ning the power off in this state results in loss of all
user data and may cause the system to freeze (due to
corruption of data in the internal memory). This means
that MR816 CSX/MR816 X may not be able to operate
properly, even when turning the power on next time.
Flashes dimly in red.
Turn the knob to adjust the gain.
