cheers - think I've tried that (tho, can't think what I had it on...) - also, the volume of my amp was about 9 o'clock...

could it be the actual setting of the mic (I/O section?) - tho, prior to doing the actual autoeq the mic does pic up sounds...

these are the actual instructions that I've got -

"press rta, set to page 1

set l&r to individual channels

press autoeq and go to page 2 set L channel

start auto eq

it will listen to the ambient noise then produce pink noise [if you don't hear anything turn up the deq's volume]

if the level is too low it will tell you ....adjust using deq vol control and amp volume.

you will need to set it going again....."

cheers
