I find later that the battery is 0.1v, and not knowing what it should be, suspect it should be changed sooner than later. I also discover there are no user memories whatsoever ! Now, whether this is because the previous owners didn't bother to store any or what, I don't know. But, I would have thought they would have been factory filled at least.
Aha ! but the battery level has probably wiped them, as a test save is not stored.
Of course, not coming with a manual doesn't help.
Anyone have a pdf ?
If anyone wants to post factory user or user programmes, they'd be welcome
Also, what the last software rev was.
Finally, has anyone with the V77 compared them together ?

You need to change the battery.
A CR 3.2 v from Radio shack will do.
It s pretty easy to do.
You just have to pry it off carefully with a pair of pliers to leave the leads intact.
Then solder 2 wires to each lead and the other end to the corresponding +/- of the battery itself.
Tape it down and voila you are done.
The presets are stored on the rom so you will be fine.
How does it compare?
The R7 is a dedicated reverb machine.
One of the best and underated if you ask me(watch the prices on Ebay go through the roof now).
(If i see any quote of what i've said here to justify a ridiculous price on Ebay i will shoot the seller)
It was part of the whole "7" series-R7,M7,D7 and F7+ remote(i own 2 of each and one F7).
I also have the DPSV77 which is like the "greatest hits" of the 7 series and it has the digital ins.
What i noticed is the converters are slightly thinner on the DPSV77 which makes it dissapear a little in the mix.
But you have to remember the others were dedicated and expensive machines when they were first released($1.5K-$2K).
They just didn't catch on because of the name and the price.
Also they have enormous amount of seb menus.
Similar to what happened to the Roland R-880.
Its appreciated more by hardcore efx guys(like mysef) than your standard studio guy.
