Need help with Proceed AVP setup

hi, I just picked up a Proceed AVP used. Everything seems to work fine, but I can't get the On Screen display to show up. Before I punt, I was hoping someone could advise me on a couple questions:

1) Is there anyway to reset all operating settings to Factory Defaults? I've not been able to find a reset procedure in the manual.

2) Is it possible to do a total reboot of the software? ie where the system does a complete reload/

I was able to do this on my Lexicon and it usually solved minor issues like this.

thanks in advance.

When you said your OSD still not on, do you mean on the front panel of the AVP's or on the TV's screen hooked up with Video out put from your AVP to your TV set?
I mean the TV screen. When I connect the video out to the TV, I can see whatever my video source is, but when I select "menu" on the remote to go into setup, the front LED Panel says "OSD Active" but I can't see the menu's on the TV.

I played around with this some more today, and something is definitely wrong with it. I don't know if it's a hardware repair or if there's some way to reboot the firmware that may solve it. I send an email to Proceed so hopefully I'll know by Monday . . .

Glad to help out, Bd. The On Screen Display is a little finicky. Did you come out of the S-video jack to a S-video capable TV?

If you are watching a source through the AVP and hit the OSD button, what exactly happens (does the screen go blank, does it continue to show the source, etc)?

If you can get through this OSD thing, I think you will be impressed with the sound of the AVP, so hang in there.

here's what happens . . .
I connected it using the S-video cable, but also tried a composite connection. The OSD will not show up at all on my DLP hi def projector. I can get video output (ie the TV or DVD player output), but no OSD with menus. When I connected it to a CRT low res tv, I can see the OSD but the characters are large - 2-3 lines is all that fits on a 26" screen, the words wrap on the screen so you can't really read them, and vertical hold is non-existent so it's scrolling on the screen very rapidly.

I doubt this will be seen, but I am having the same issue with the OSD not showing up on the Proceed AVP. I can route composite video input 4 (and only 4) to the main S-video or composite output but there is no menu overlay.

Alternatively, would it be possible for someone with an AVR to send a pic of the technical menu that is required to initiate a factory reset? I’ll try to do it blind.

I'd appreciate any help I can get because it is an excellent preamp and I'd hate to have to part with it.
