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.
