Introduction

The Eclipse AVN669HD is a feature-rich unit, but navigating its menus can be challenging if the display is set to an unfamiliar language (e.g., Japanese, French, or Spanish). This guide will walk you through resetting the system language back to English or your preferred language using the on-screen menus, the physical buttons, and a factory reset method as a last resort.

  2. Press the Button: Use a paperclip or a pen tip to gently press and hold the reset button for a few seconds.
  3. Wait for Reboot: The screen will go black and then reboot.
  4. Initial Setup: Upon rebooting, the unit often enters an "Initial Setup" mode. The very first screen usually asks you to select a language.
    • If the screen is in Japanese, look for the drop-down menu. The option for English is usually written in English characters (e.g., "English").
  5. Finalize: Select English and press the confirmation button (usually the bottom right soft key).
