Thanks Rick. My friend's problem was also due to a further mis-translation from English to Italian, since "Initializing" on page 75 has been translated into "Activating", which sure won't help in understanding it means "Resetting".
OK, my friend came home and we tried "initializing" the USER SET function, and it works how I explained him at the phone. Apparently, doing that at Dario's home was a good way to calm down that worried guy (which I guess won't truly need the USER function :-).
