Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Darren:

Next time, do a Factory Reset on the brain before you test. This will
insure you haven't gotten some really rotten setup someone have created.
Also, bring along a set of headphones that you are famaliar with and that
have good dynamic range and frequency response. Some closed-cup
monitoring phones would be best. Then follow these steps to reset the
DTXpressII:

press UTIL button until you see "SYSTEM GROUP" in the display
press pgup/pgdn till u see "Factory Set" in the display
press save/ent button, and the screen will read:

"All data will be lost! are u sure?"

Press save/ent button. *Now* test the set! :)

PS: U might want to make sure you do this on a DTXPRESS module that the
store hasn't gotten some fancy demo or kit loads on. You don't want to
get thrown out of the store! ;)
