Hardware Reset Switch

Reset the Paradigm ACP software and hardware by pressing the reset switch located on

the front panel of the unit. You can access this reset switch using the tip of a ball point pen,

or other pointed object.

During a powered reset the host rack holds levels for the last look played until the Paradigm

ACP has rebooted and takes control.
