Does anyone know how to reset (manufacture default) the CP650 ?

Thanks

No east way I know of. Downloading the data from a new one and then uploading it would work but who has a new one now?
You can go through and set all the settings to flat etc I suppose, but why?

If you only want to use the 650 for film sound, and send the output flat to the house's main processor, so that you only have to tune one processor.

I've set two or three 650s up this way in the last year.

IIRC, there is a button in the CP650 setup app that allows you to flatten the EQ on all the channels with a single click. But the only way I know of to achieve a factory reset would be to save a "base clone" from the machine straight out of the factory, and apply that later if you need to. Same thing with an AP20.

All you can do is export it using the PC software (that also is used to update the processor) and save the settings from a "virgin" CP650 to a .dby file and import this on the processor you want to "factory reset".

If you want to "factory reset" it because you're going to sell it, I think that's mostly useless. It's not like the CP650 is a plug-and-play device that has default settings that just work out-of-the-box, everybody setting up such a device will go through the necessary steps to customize it to their environment.
