Calibration question - Blu-ray Forum

GBMidge7 · 03-01-2010, 09:49 PM

Hi all! It's been a really long time since I've posted a question (ever since I set up my system, I've been too busy enjoying it with all these sweet blu-rays coming out!). But now I do have a question. I will be moving soon and I will need to re-calibrate my system, but there's one problem... the calibration microphone that came with my Yamaha RX-v663 is nowhere to be found. Will any external microphone work for the calibration, as long as it has the appropriate jack to plug into the receiver? I know, a simple, silly question, but I just don't know for sure and I didn't want to risk doing any harm to my system. Thanks in advance, guys!

im pretty sure you want to get a replacement mic for it, so i would contact the manufacturer and im sure they will send you one for a small Fee!

I've read before that the receiver and microphone that comes with it are meant to work together and you might not get the proper setup results using a different one. As ryandubbz said, you should contact Yamaha for a replacement.

Hey, thanks guys! I am not moving for a few months, so I have time to contact Yamaha for a new calibration microphone.
