When the batteries in my AV3000 died last time some of the labels for the non-programmable keys disappeared. For example, when resetting the clock, the "set" button is missing. When trying to change the labels on customizeable buttons, the "compo" label is gone. These buttons still work, but since I don't have a photographic memory, I can't remember which is which all the time. In addition, some of the customizeable labels also disappeared, but I know how to get those back. My question is, how can I reset all the labels on all the buttons without wiping all my programming (which didn't get lost in the battery outage, interestingly enough). Thanks for your help.

I don't understand how you could lose some of the labels, like the "set" label for the clock setting, or some of the others. If all else fails, you may have to do a complete reset, but that is a last resort.
