Lexicon MC-12

I picked this up at a bargain price- I realize it is long in the tooth but appears very well made. It powers up and runs diagnostics just fine. The issue is I cannot figure out how to use it :-( Possibly a remote is required- which I do not have. Must it be connected to a monitor for OSD  or can it be run from the front panel? I hooked it to an amp and a cd player, but I may not have it hooked up corectly. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Thank you gillatgh. Truth is, I was a little embarrassed to post that I cannot figure it out so your response is making me feel a little less like an idiot. This is a really complicated piece. It was thrown in on an amp so I have nothing invested but looks like it could reasonably capable- albeit if I can reprogram.

If I can be of help feel free to pm. I'll do my best. I truly was impressed with the MC12B and only removed it from my system after a modernization. As soon as one friend heard he snatched it up. Never got a chance to list it for sale. I still have access to it when I visit him. He is planning to compare it to his Classe SP600.

It's more than reasonably capable, more like extremely capable. Very nice machine, of course you need to assure all is well. A good indicator is that it runs the diagnostics and I assume it goes into standby mode. If it does not go into standby mode after diagnostics it may require a factory reset.

Thank you. It goes through the warm up and I believe it goes into standby. I will take you up on the offer when I have some time to tackle it.

I am curious, how this thing sounded on music in 2 channel mode?
