The SETTING ROOM EQ screen (shown above) opens on the on-screen display while the MC-12 meas-
ures the listening room’s bass response. To do this, the MC-12 sends calibration noise signals to the
loudspeakers connected to the Main Zone audio output connectors in the order shown on the screen.
The cursor automatically scrolls downward, highlighting each parameter while the MC-12 applies
appropriate room corrections to the corresponding loudspeaker. When finished, the MC-12 enters SET
to the right of the parameter label.

The SETTING DISTANCES or SETTING LEVELS screen (shown above) opens on the on-screen display
while the MC-12 calibrates loudspeaker distances or output levels. To do this, the MC-12 sends
calibration noise signals to the loudspeakers connected to the Main Zone audio output connectors in
the order shown on the screen. The cursor automatically scrolls downward, highlighting each parameter
while the MC-12 calculates a distance or output level for the corresponding loudspeaker. When finished,
the MC-12 enters the calculated value or ERROR to the right of the parameter label.

Note the following:

• During the EQ DISTANCES LEVELS procedure, the SETTING DISTANCES screen opens on the

on-screen display while the MC-12 calibrates loudspeaker distances. Then, the SETTING LEVELS
screen opens on the on-screen display while the MC-12 calibrates loudspeaker output levels.

In most listening rooms, low-frequency signal propagation makes automatic loudspeaker distance

calibration unreliable for subwoofers and LFE subwoofers. Because of this, the MC-12 does not send
calibration noise signals to subwoofers. Instead, the MC-12 calibrates these loudspeaker distances to
the average distance of the front left and right loudspeakers. If desired, the SPEAKER DISTANCES
menu can be used to manually adjust subwoofer distances.

This step does not occur during the DISTANCES
or OUTPUT LEVELS procedures.

This step does not occur during the ROOM EQ
procedure.
