765841 2009-04-17 08:11:00 A friend has just bought a car (import) with a Sony MDX-CA790 stereo that is stuck in demo mode.

The only thing I can find by searching suggests there should be a reset button behind the front panel but there isn't one - must be slightly different model or something.

Does anyone know how to reset?

765843 2009-04-17 11:41:00 In searching, were you able to find/download a user guide manual ?(often in pdf). If no pinhole is found, maybe try depressing two buttons together/or one > 3 seconds, which I found out with my car stereo inadvertently, to get different settings. kahawai chaser (3545)
