HOME RESETWARRANTY 1 12

Reset
HOME
Reset procedure:
With the power off, press and hold the “INFO”
button, “BACK” button, and “POWER” button
simultaneously on the AVR for a few seconds
until the display starts flashing at intervals of
about 1 second.
Resetting the micro is a procedure used to "reboot" the microprocessor to restore its normal operation when it temporarily freezes, locks
up, or behaves erratically. Resetting the microprocessor, erases any saved settings you may have previously programmed into the unit
Issues that can affect the performance of the microprocessor:
•A jolt of static electricity
•Current surge through an input
Before resetting the microprocessor;
•Check all connections carefully
•Check for setup errors
•Back up your settings. You may also want to write down your preferred settings for easier task of setting up the AVR after reset.
Note: The Web (Browser) Control feature can be used to back up your settings by saving a configuration file on your hard drive. For this
feature, we recommend using one of the following web browsers: Internet Explorer 10 and above, Mozilla Firefox 24 and above, Google
Chrome 29 and above, and Safari 5.x and above.
Note: If you had an installer setup your system, please first contact your installer to see if they can reset and then setup your system again
as there may be specific EQ calibrations (Audyssey) that the installer will need to perform.
Important: Back up the settings before resetting the microprocessor. Most settings are reset to the factory default values after performing
this procedure. This means that all the settings data will be completely lost if it’s not previously saved.

Firmware:
This unit has the ability to update its firmware over the internet if so is selected by the user. When connected to a network via Wi-Fi or Ethernet, the AVR
searches automatically for new updates and if any is found, a message appears on the screen for approx. 40 seconds with the options of updating the
firmware: “NOW”, “LATER”, or “IGNORE”. Note: This feature of displaying the update message, can be disable from the “Setup” menu
(Setup/General/Firmware/Notifications/Update or Upgrade/Off).
If the update process is interrupted, “Update retry” appears on the display and the unit tries repeatedly to continue the update until it either reconnects and
picks up where it left off and continue the update process or times itself out after trying several times. When the latter occurs, one of the following messages
will appear on the screen.
