Connecting a PC for Advanced MCACC
output

If you use the Professional Acoustic Calibration EQ (see
page 38) 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 (http://
www.pioneerelectronics.com/pna/ci/codes/

software are also available here. Please contact the
Customer Support Division of Pioneer if you have any
questions or concerns.
