About the Advanced MCACC Application
The Advanced MCACC application software allows you to view graphs of the reverb characteristics of your
listening environment on a PC. It works in the same way as “Reverb View” in “EQ Professional” of the
receiver’s “Manual MCACC” menu (see page 41 in the receiver’s Operating Instructions), but the graphs
are more precise and easier to understand by using a PC.

2. Skewed reverb frequency characteristics in your listening room can prevent you from enjoying an
accurate sound field. The graphs displayed by this application are a powerful tool because they
allow you to check these reverb frequency characteristics at a glance. You can also check the
effectiveness of steps that you take to improve the acoustics of your listening room, for example,
installing sound absorbent material.
