SUNFIRE TGP-401 AV Processor...how to do a factory reset ?

Hi Everyone...first time poster.

SUNFIRE TGP-401 AV Pre/Pro...how to do a factory reset?

 

The unit ws workingwhen it first cmae in...but now, no output from any channel.....so, we thought we'd reset it, to start fresh.

The Google AI recommendation is wrong/not applicable.

I think it's referred to in the menu as factory recall settings...but, you need some sort of 4 digit PIN to reset facotry settings....this unit came in used...so, have no idea what the code is.....or, if there is an admin 4 digit code that can reset the unit.

Any simple/stupid cheats to do the same thing?

Let me know...thanks.

Hi ChrisACX, and welcome to thecarversite.com. Glad you found us.

 

I did a google search for the procedure, and most of what I found was some guy using your same name asking that question in a few places.  

 

We don't have the service manual for the TGP 401 in our database, and it may not be available anywhere. I did find this procedure for a TGP 3 listed on manualslib.com:

 

-- 

 

Press the power button to turn the unit off, or turn it off from the wall for a moment.

 

 Press and continue to hold down the front panel Power button and the Tone DOWN button at the same time.

 

 The TGR-3 will power on and cycle through the display. Keep holding the buttons down until "Resetting to Factory Defaults" appears in the front panel display

 

 When the TGR-3 has been reset, it will shut off.

 

Turn the TGR-3 back on and it will go to the default screen. It has now been reset.

The procedure may, or may not, be similar for the TGP 401.

 

I hope that helps.

I sent an email to Sunfire back when they were answering email.  Here's the reset procedure for the TGx-401.

 

Let us know if this clears up your problem.

 

Factory reset - TGx-401
Setup>Enter
Control>Enter
Setting Save>Enter
Reset Factory>Enter
RFAC (Enter after each one). Dial up on left hand knob.

Since the Sunfire TGx-401 passwords are not published anywhere…
Turn knob to put in each letter:
Save Dealer – SDLR
Recall Dealer – RDLR
Recall Factory - RFAC
