Start at Titration default on this ASV.
ASV Auto mode EPAP 4-15 PS 3-15 This is with the understanding you'll do a self Titration at home with OSCAR data and coaching from Apnea Board members.

Not sure if you got the Resmed Aircurve 10 ASV, but this is the recommended titration protocol. I have not followed your thread closely to know if EPAP should start higher, but most people find EPAP min 5.0, EPAP max 15.0, PS min 3.0, PS max 15.0 is a workable start from which we can optimize.

Thanks - My doctor did say that he wanted me to make sure my EPAP was higher, I think he said 10. He didnt actually include any specifics in the script.

We can work it up to Min 10 cmH2O in time. Don't jump into the deep end too soon. With the ASV, you'll have a bit of a learning curve as ASV is a very different animal than other PAP machines. By all means, titrate yourself up there on EPAP if you need it, but start at the bottom and only go up if your needs require it. Your comfort will thank you.

Make sure you have the SD card in it and post an OSCAR after first night. Include details on how you slept, what was right or wrong. We'll help address these either through question and answer and setting suggestions.

I would also recommend that you check the time and date prior to its first use.
