PERFORMING LIVE! CALIBRATION
To perform LIVE! calibration:
1. Select SETUP  LIVE! CALIBRATION as shown above.
2. The !CAUTION! HIGH AUDIO LEVELS message appears to indicate
that the MC-8 generates loud calibration noise signals during LIVE!
calibration. If the signals become too loud, press the  button to
cancel LIVE! calibration. Press the  button to begin calibration.
3. The countdown display notifies you that LIVE! calibration begins 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 3 minutes (the calibration procedure should be
completed). Press the  arrow button to skip the countdown
and begin LIVE! calibration. The MC-8 automatically activates LIVE!
calibration when the countdown ends.
When the LIVE! calibration is finished, the LIVE CALIBRATION
results screen displays one of the following two messages.
• The CALIBRATION DONE message indicates that no errors
occurred during the calibration procedure.
• The SIGNAL TOO LOW message indicates that the micro-
phones failed to pick up sufficient calibration noise signals
for calibration to complete.
4. After reading the message, press  to continue.
If the SIGNAL TOO LOW message appears:
• Examine microphone input connections to ensure that the
microphones are properly connected to the MC-8 in micro-
phone inputs 1 and 2 and that microphone cable plugs are
fully inserted for a solid connection.
• Examine the speakers and the associated amplifier to ensure
that speaker wires are connected and the amplifier is on.
• Run a Microphone Check to determine whether a microphone
has been damaged. See page 3-39 for instructions on check-
ing the microphones.
