RESET

This feature enables standard settings of most controls. RESET will only
reset the active mode.

A factory reset may be performed in the menu system. All
settings will return to factory defaults, so do not perform a
factory reset unless it is really required. This operation will also
erase all custom sources and modes that have been
memorized.
