The Advanced MCACC (Multi Channel ACoustic
Calibration) system was developed in Pioneer's
laboratories with the aim of making it possible for home
users to perform adjustments of the same level as in a
studio easily and with high precision. The acoustic
characteristics of the listening environment are
measured and the frequency response is calibrated
accordingly to allow high precision, automatic analysis
and optimal calibration of the sound field to bring it
closer to a studio environment than ever before.
Furthermore, while it was previously difficult to eliminate
standing waves, this receiver is equipped with a standing
wave control function using a unique process to perform
acoustic analysis and reduce their influence.
This section describes how to calibrate the sound field
automatically and fine-adjust the sound field data
manually.
1 Switch on the receiver and your TV.
Make sure that the TV's video input is set to this receiver.

Automatic MCACC (Expert)

If your setup requires more detailed settings than those
provided in Automatically conducting optimum sound
tuning (Full Auto MCACC) on page 38, you can customize
your setup options below. You can calibrate your system
differently for up to six different MCACC presets, which
are useful if you have different listening positions
depending on the type of source (for example, watching
movies from a sofa, or playing a video game close to the
TV).
Important
• Make sure the microphone/speakers are not moved
during the Auto MCACC Setup.
• The screen saver will automatically appear after five
minutes of inactivity.
CAUTION
• The test tones used in the Auto MCACC Setup are
output at high volume.
