Making receiver settings from the
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.
1 Switch on the receiver and your TV.
Make sure that the TV’s video input is set to this receiver.
2 Set the remote control to the receiver operation
mode, then press HOME MENU.
A Graphical User Interface (GUI) screen appears on your
TV. Use
/// and ENTER to navigate through the
screens and select menu items. Press RETURN to
confirm and exit the current menu.
• Press HOME MENU at any time to exit the Home
Menu.
3 Select ‘Advanced MCACC’ from the Home Menu,
then press ENTER.
4 Select the setting you want to adjust.
• Full Auto MCACC – See Automatically conducting
optimum sound tuning (Full Auto MCACC) on page 43
for a quick and effective automatic surround setup.
• Auto MCACC – See Automatic MCACC (Expert)
below for a more detailed MCACC setup.
SC-37 only: In addition, the Full Band Phase Control
function calibrates the frequency-phase
characteristics of the connected speakers.
• Manual MCACC – Fine-tunes your speaker settings
and customizes the Acoustic Calibration EQ (see
Manual MCACC setup on page 106).
• Demo – No settings are saved and no errors occur.
When the speakers are connected to this receiver,
the test tone is output repeatedly. Press RETURN to
cancel the test tone.
Automatic MCACC (Expert)
If your setup requires more detailed settings than those
provided in Automatically conducting optimum sound
tuning (Full Auto MCACC) on page 43, 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.
