1. Connect the supplied microphone to the SETUP MIC jack on the unit.
• During measurements, do not stand between the |
microphone and the speakers. Make the room as |
quiet as possible. Background noise can disrupt |
the room measurements. Close windows, silence |
cell phones, televisions, radios, air conditioners, |
fluorescent lights, home appliances, light dimmers, |
or other devices. |
Cell phones should be placed away from all audio |
electronics during the measurement process as |
Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) may cause |
measurement disruptions (even if the cell phone |
is not in use). |
