FOR AUTO CALIBRATION
NO MICROPHONE
DETECTED
The following AUTO SPEAKER SETUP messages display on-screen before automatic calibration begins:
• The !CAUTION! HIGH AUDIO LEVELS message indicates that the MC-12 generates loud calibration noise signals during automatic calibration. If the
signals become too loud, press the
arrow button to cancel automatic calibration. Press the arrow button to open the next AUTO SPEAKER
SETUP menu.
• The countdown display notifies you that automatic calibration will begin in 10 seconds. The primary reason for the 10 second delay is to give you time
to leave the listening space before automatic calibration begins. If you choose to remain in the room, your movements could affect the calibration
results. If you leave the room, you can return in about 10 minutes (the calibration procedure should be completed). Press the
arrow button to
skip the countdown and begin automatic calibration. The MC-12 automatically activates automatic calibration when the countdown ends.
