Advanced MCACC menu
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.

Automatic MCACC (Expert)
If your setup requires more detailed settings than those 
provided in Automatically conducting optimum sound 
tuning (Auto MCACC)
 on page 37, 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.
