Connecting a PC for Advanced
MCACC output
If you use the Professional Acoustic Calibration (see
page 91) to measure the reverb characteristics of your
listening room, you can check the results graphically
using a computer connected to this receiver. Use a
commercially-available RS-232C cable to connect the RS-
232C jack on your computer to the 9-pin RS-232C jack on
the back panel of this receiver (the cable must be cross
type, female–female).
The software to output the results is available from the
support area of the Pioneer website (www.pioneereur.
com/files/support/MCACC/software.html). Instructions
for using the software are also available here. If you have
any questions about the software, please contact the
Pioneer Service Center specified on your warranty card.
Please make sure your system meets the following
requirements:
Operating system must be Windows

receiver when you restart reverb measurement, you
might want to save the information on your PC after
measurement.

screen display.
You’ll be taken to the Advanced EQ Setup. Depending on
the results, you may want to continue with the Advanced
