[. . . ] MC-12HD Digital Controller User Guide IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 1. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or another apparatus (including amplifiers) that produces heat. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet. [. . . ] HIGH AUDIO LEVELS message indicates that the MC-12HD generates loud calibration noise signals during automatic calibration. · The TEST WILL BEGIN IN 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 caliarrow butbration results. If you leave the room, you can return in about 10 minutes (the calibration procedure should be completed). The MC-12HD automatically activates automatic calibration when the countdown ends. · To cancel the automatic calibration while it is in progress, press the SETUP menu.

The SETTING DISTANCES screen displays when the MC-12HD calibrates speaker distances. · During speaker distance calibration, the MC-12HD sends calibration noise signals to the Main Zone audio output connectors in the order shown on the SETTING DISTANCES screen. The cursor automatically scrolls downward through speaker calibration parameters, highlighting each parameter while the MC-12HD calculates a distance for the corresponding speaker. As it finishes each parameter, the MC-12HD enters the calibrated value or an ERROR message to the right of the parameter label. · Because of the way low frequency signals propagate in most listening spaces, automatic speaker distance calibration often produces unreliable results for subwoofers and LFE subwoofers. For this reason the MC-12HD does not send calibration noise signals to the Subwoofer L/R and LFE output connectors during speaker distance calibration. Instead, the MC-12HD automatically calibrates subwoofer and LFE subwoofer distances to the shortest distance of the other speakers. See "PERFORMING MANUAL SPEAKER DISTANCE CALIBRATION" on page 3-58. 3 This step does not occur when the AUTO SPEAKER SETUP menu DISTANCES option is selected. The SETTING LEVELS screen displays when the MC-12HD calibrates output levels. · The MC-12HD sends calibration noise signals to the Main Zone audio output connectors in the order shown on the SETTING LEVELS screen.
