To perform LIVE! calibration:

1. Select SETUP

LIVE! CALIBRATION as shown above.

2.The !CAUTION! HIGH AUDIO LEVELS message appears to indicate that the RV-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 RV-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 RV-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 3-40for instructions on check- ing the microphones.
