I to have seen the DCU-1 act in this way - but it has been 
so long ago I do not recall the solution.  I would suggest that
you do as Dick suggests and reset the processor.

I do not think this will work - the DCU-1 that I use is often 
unplugged for two or more weeks and it has yet to forget 
it's settings.
