SAVE THE PACKAGING
Please save the box and all of the packaging in which your C 658 arrived.
Should you move or need to transport your C 658, this is the safest
container in which to do so. We've seen too many otherwise perfect
components damaged in transit for lack of a proper shipping carton so,
please: Save that box!

CHOOSING A LOCATION

Choose a location that is well ventilated (with at least several inches to
both sides and behind), and that will provide a clear line of sight, within
25 feet / 8 meters, between the C 658's front panel and your primary
listening/viewing position-this will ensure reliable infrared remote control
communications. The C 658 generates a modest amount of heat, but
nothing that should trouble adjacent components.

RESTORING C 658 TO FACTORY DEFAULT SETTINGS

Press and hold both front panel's a SOURCE s buttons until the display
shows the following three reset options. Use a or s buttons to select
through the options.
• Factory Reset MCU? : Restore MCU factory default settings only
• Factory Reset BluOS? : Restore BluOS factory default settings only
• Factory Reset All? This will reset both BluOS and MCU: Restore
both BluOS and MCU factory default settings
Press [ENTER] to select "Yes" and initiate selected Factory Reset option.
IMPORTANT
Restoring C 658 to factory default settings will delete all applicable
configured or saved settings.
