"'Press system button + unit number button (1 or 2) and hold em and then power the Marion on. Just hold SYSTEM and one of the unit (card) number buttons and flip that POWER switch ON and watch it reset. It will kill all your original saved patches but restores the factory stuff and makes it usable again.'
Obviously this will wipe your patches. I can't recall for sure, but when the internal battery died on my MSR-2 many years back, I *think* I used this procedure to get it back to normal, then I recovered my patches from backup using SoundDiver (which wasn't easy).
You may know this already, but there is an MSR-2 owners group/list on Yahoo. Communications on the list are not frequent these days, but you might find more info from those list members."
