7  Resetting DCP-300:  

What to do if you need to Start Over

If you come to a point while using some of the advanced features built into DCP-300 where you are feeling a 

little lost and just want to start over, there are two ways to do this. 

Method 1: Piano Reset

In most cases, this is all you will need to do. Any songs you have recorded in the Song Recorder will be 

preserved.

‣

To do a Piano Reset:

 Press the Reverb and Chorus buttons at 

the same time.

 For a list which settings are saved after a 

Piano Reset (or after powering  

DCP-300 off), as well as for a list of all  

MIDI messages send during a Piano Reset, 

please see Appendix A: Defaults.

Method 2: Factory Reset

Performing a Factory Reset will clear all battery backed memory and restore all functions to their factory 

defaults,justliketheywerewhenyouusedDCP-300forthefirsttime.Pleasenotethatanythingyouhave

recorded into the Song Recorder will be erased by this procedure!

‣

To do a Factory Reset:

 Hold down the Reverb 

and Chorus buttons while 

powering on DCP-300.

   The LCD window will light all pixels, and all LEDs on the device will light while these buttons are held 

down. Once this has happened, you can release the Reverb and Chorus buttons.

normally again. All button LEDs will return to their default states. The display window will show the 

version number of the firmware (the piano’s internal operating system) for 2 seconds and then return to 

showing the Voice Name.
