About this manual
These are the Operating Instructions for an application which displays on your computer screen the 
listening room reverberation frequency characteristics, the speakers’ group delay characteristics and the 
MCACC parameters measured by the Advanced MCACC function of your VSX-94TXH or VSX-92TXH.
It explains everything you need to know to use the application, from installation to troubleshooting. You will 
need to operate the receiver to use this application, so please refer also to the Operating Instructions 
supplied with the receiver.
About the Advanced MCACC Application
The functions of the Advanced MCACC application are used with the same purpose as the “Reverb View” 
and “Group Delay View” functions of the receiver itself (see pages 43 and 45 of the Operating Instructions of 
the VSX-94TXH or VSX-92TXH), namely to display the reverberation characteristics of the listening 
environment and the group delay characteristics of the speakers. Using a computer provides cleaner, more 
easily readable graphs. The application can also be used to display the measurement values stored in the 
receiver’s MCACC memory.
Requirements for using the application on your PC
 
• Operating system must be Microsoft
®
 Windows
®
 XP (Service Pack 2) or Windows

Main features of the application
 
1. Displays 3D graphs of the reverb frequency characteristics of your room. You can choose to see 
these measurements both with and without the equalization performed by this receiver (before and 
after calibration).
2. Allows you to display 3D graphics of the group delay characteristics of the different speakers. (The 
values before and after calibration can be displayed.)
3. Allows you to display a list of the Advanced MCACC parameters (the results of measurements).
4. Allows you to view graphs in a number of different formats.
5. Allows you to save the various measured data on the computer.
6. Allows you to make memos about the conditions in your room when you made the measurements, 
etc.
7. Allows you to print the various graphs and the MCACC measurement values.
