Need quick help - Clarion DXZ785USB

[kendogg 10+ year member]

I've had this HU for a number of years now, and my car sat for awhile in the garage without the battery hooked up. Now, it seems the initial 'speaker system' setting has defaulted back to 'Normal' mode, instead of '3-way' like I had it. According to the owners manual, this is setup when power is applied for the first time, as it goes to this selection screen automatically. I can't honestly remember how that worked, it was probably 5+ years ago when I first installed this unit.

I need to get it switched back to '3-way' somehow. When I reconnected the battery, I didn't notice it asking me to make a selection. Does anybody remember what to do? There's no reference in the owners manual that I can find to change this. Do I need to disconnect power and let it sit and reconnect power again and see if it gives me the proper menu on power-up? Thanks in advance.

From what I see in the manual, it's calling high/mid/sub setup a 3-way. I think you just need to go into the x-over section and set them all correctly. If you need to select that as opposed to their 2-way mode, here's the manual and the instructions are right at the top of page 20:

I've read the manual - I said I've read the manual. Read page 13 and you'll understand what I'm talking about.

Ok, well it says you can start a system check manually on page 31.

Look at bottom of page 31 of manual.

Otherwise maybe try disconnecting the battery for a minute or 2 or pull the deck power...

It works!! That f'ing works, hahaha, thank you guys SO much!! Beware though - it performs a factory reset, so EVERYTHING saved is gone. In this instance, I'm pretty OK with that. Thanks again!
