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 the receiver’s “Acoustic Cal

EQ Professional” function (see page 88 in the receiver’s Operating Instructions), but the graphs are more

attractive and easier to understand by using a PC.

Requirements for using the application on your PC

•Operating system must be Microsoft® Windows® XP, Windows® 2000, Windows® Millennium

Edition, Windows® 98 Second Edition, or Windows NT® 4.0 (Service pack 6).

•CPU must be at least Pentium 3 / 300MHz or AMD K6 / 300MHz (or equivalent) with at least 128MB

of memory, and your monitor must be able to display a minimum resolution of 800x600.

•An RS-232C port connector is necessary for graphical output. Refer to the PC’s operating

instructions and/or the PC manufacturer for more information on making the proper port settings.

Microsoft, Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows Millennium Edition, Windows 98 and Windows NT are either

registered trademarks or trademarks of Microsoft Corporation in the United States and/or other countries.

Main features of the application

1. Displays 3D graphs of the reverb frequency characteristics of your room.

Acoustic calibration by MCACC made on the receiver itself is not reflected in these graphs.

2. Allows you to view graphs in a number of different formats.

3. Allows you to save the measured reverb characteristics data on your PC.

4. Allows you to make memos about the conditions in your room when you made the measurements.

5. Allows you to print graphs.

Things you can accomplish with this application

1. Advanced EQ Setup, which you can do with the receiver (see page 88 in the receiver’s Operating

Instructions), allows you to choose the optimum time period for auto EQ setup. You can use the

graphs displayed by the application as a guide in choosing the best time period for your room.

For details, see

How to Interpret the Graphs

(page 14).

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.

For details, see

How to Interpret the Graphs

(page 14).

Install this application on your PC by using the downloaded installer.

You will find the installer in the folder that you specified when you downloaded the application.

The application is installed in the indicated folder, and a shortcut icon is created on the desktop. To

select a different folder to install the application, click “Browse.”

5Click “Finish.”

The installation is complete.

Operations on the Receiver and Cable Connections

To display reverberation characteristics measured with the receiver on your PC, you need to connect the

receiver to the PC.

1Connect the receiver to your PC with a RS-232C cable.

Caution

Before making or changing connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from

the power outlet. Plugging in components should be the last connection you make with your system.

Notes

•The type of cable to use is a female-female cross cable. Different manufacturers use different names

to refer to this type of cable. Sometimes it is called an “interlink” cable, and sometimes it is called a

“reverse” cable.

Operations on the Receiver and Cable Connections (Continued)

2On the receiver, select “Acoustic Cal EQ Professional” then “Reverb

Measurement” and measure the reverberation characteristics of your room.

(For details, see pages 88 and 75 of the receiver’s Operating Instructions.)

Reverberation characteristics can also be measured with “Auto Pro.,” but it takes longer than with

“Reverb Measurement” because all steps up to EQ Setup are done automatically.

Note

When you receive the data you have already measured with "Reverb Measurement" or "Auto Pro.," you

do not need to measure the data again in this step.

3In the on-screen display, select “PC Output”.

The message “Operate a PC” appears and the receiver enters transmission standby mode. It is ready

to send data to your PC.

This completes the preparations for sending the measurement data to your PC.

(To send the data, proceed to the next section

Application Operations

This section explains operations that you do in the application, from receiving measurement data to

displaying graphs and saving the data.

Receiving measurement data

1Double click the application shortcut icon on the PC desktop.

You can also start the application by selecting “Program” =“Pioneer Corporation” =“Advanced

MCACC” from the “Start” menu.

The application starts.

2Select “Receive” under “File” on the menu bar.

3Select the number of the COM port to which the RS-232 cable is connected and

click “OK.”

If you do not know which COM port number to select, try selecting each port in turn, beginning with

“COM1.”

Data transmission starts. (It should finish in about 10 seconds.)

When reception finishes, graphs of the received data appear.

Notes

•Refer the operating instructions of your PC for more information about COM port settings.

•In order to avoid malfunction, after the completion of the data transmission, unplug the RS-232C cable

connecting your PC and the receiver.
