RCA GUIDE+ MODELS FACTORY RESET.



     The factory reset places the module back to the original factory settings.  This includes resetting or clearing any and all channel mapping and/or program listing data.  If the procedure is performed, a complete set up and download of both the channel map information and the program listing data will be necessary.  A full download also can be performed using the "Guide+Factory-Loop Tape" in a much shorter period of time.  If the download test tape is unavailable, performing a reset of system could mean an overnight wait to determine if the problem is resolved.
