Processor Reset
In the rare case where the unit’s operation or
the displays seem abnormal, the cause may
involve the erratic operation of the system’s
memory or microprocessor.
To correct this problem, first unplug the unit
from the AC wall outlet and wait at least three
minutes. After the pause, reconnect the AC
power cord and check the unit’s operation. If
the system still malfunctions, a system reset
may clear the problem.
To clear the AVR 310’s entire system memory
including tuner presets, output level settings,
delay times and speaker configuration data,
first put the unit in Standby by pressing the
System Power Control
button
2
. Next,
press and hold the
Tone Mode
6
and the
FM Mode Selector
@
buttons for three
seconds.
The unit will turn on automatically and display
the
RESET
message in the
Main
Information Display
Y
. Note that once you
have cleared the memory in this manner, it is
necessary to re-establish all system configuration
settings and tuner presets.
NOTE
: Resetting the processor will erase any
configuration settings you have made for
speakers, output levels, surround modes, digital
input assignments as well as the tuner presets.
After a reset the unit will be returned to the
factory presets, and all settings for these items
must be reentered.
If the system is still operating incorrectly, there
may have been an electronic discharge or
severe AC line interference that has corrupted
the memory or microprocessor.
If these steps do not solve the problem, consult
an authorized Harman Kardon service depot.
