1. A method for calibrating a vending apparatus for vending a media product, comprising the steps of:

  • setting an optical sensitivity setting of a optical sensor to zero;

    incrementing the optical sensitivity setting until the optical sensor optically senses an object, representing a first optical sensitivity setting;

    storing the first optical sensitivity setting;

    decrementing the optical sensitivity setting until the optical sensor no longer optically senses the object, representing a second optical sensitivity setting;

    storing the second optical sensitivity setting; and

    ,selecting a third optical sensitivity setting between the first and second optical sensitivity settings.
