Default Looking for experienced MX151 owners

Short answer - yes, you should re-initialize the MX 151 to its factory default settings.

It is the most complicated piece of gear you will ever encounter and has to be set up exactly per the manual or you will have a continuous series of head-scratching issues.

Most of the gear I have I can just kind of wing it for setup. Not the MX 151.

The manual describes a series of steps you must take, in exact order, to properly setup your MX 151.

You will need to connect a TV to the HDMI output to see all the menus. You cannot easily set the unit using the front panel displays and remote.

The setup instructions begin on page 17 with how to enter the installer setup menu and continue on page 22 with detailed setup instructions.

The procedure for re-setting to factory defaults is on page 45.

Once you have reset your unit to factory defaults you MUST follow the manual setup directions, in order. Do not skip any steps.

Good luck!
