The TX-DS898 contains an internal microcomputer that performs
high-level operations. However, on extremely rare occasions, noise
or interference from an external source or static electricity may cause
faulty operation. If this occurs, unplug the power cord from the wall
outlet, wait five or more seconds, and then plug it back in. This
should correct the situation.
* To reset the surround mode and other settings to the factory
default settings, hold down the VIDEO 1 button with the TX-
DS898 turned on and then press the STANDBY/ON button.
“CLEAR” appears in the front display and the TX-DS898 enters
the standby state.
