How do you reset a Home Theater surround system back to the original factory setting?

Posted by admin on July 29th, 2010 and filed under home theater | 4 Comments »

My home theater surround system doe’s not sound the way it used to.

Not all components have a reset. Read the manual carefully. If there is a procedure to "reset to factory defaults" it will be in there. Otherwise go through the system and set everything to zero and work your way back up from there till it sounds the way you like. Without knowing exactly what system you have it will be hard to give you a more definitive answer.

    Check all your cables. Chances are something worked loose.

    Check the knobs. One day someone turned the tone control or the balance knob on my receiver all the way over.

    someone probably went into the menu and changed the setting or messed up the sound fields, all receivers will reset, but i have yet to see one with a reset button, look in the owners manual or call the manufacturer, most of them have a way to do it but you have to know, for example denon you have to hold the a and b speaker switch down, while turning on the main power button, they make you perform weird combonations os you or noone else can accidently reset the reciever
