About this manual
These are the Operating Instructions for an application which displays on your computer screen the
listening room reverberation frequency characteristics, the speakers’ group delay characteristics and the
MCACC parameters measured by the Advanced MCACC function of your receiver.
It explains everything you need to know to use the application, from installation to troubleshooting. You will
need to operate the receiver to use this application, so please refer also to the Operating Instructions
supplied with the receiver.
Important
The explanations concerning the “Group Delay” functions (“group delay characteristics of the
speakers”, etc.) included in these operating instructions only apply for receivers supporting the Full
Band Phase Control function.
About the Advanced MCACC Application
The functions of the Advanced MCACC application are used with the same purpose as the “Reverb View”
and “Group Delay” functions of the receiver itself (see the receiver’s Operating Instructions), namely to
display the reverberation characteristics of the listening environment and the group delay characteristics of
the speakers. Using a computer provides cleaner, more easily readable graphs. The application can also be
used to display the measurement values stored in the receiver’s MCACC memory.
Requirements for using the application on your PC
• The computer must be a PC functioning with one of the following operating systems: Microsoft ®
Windows ® Vista Home Basic/Home Premium/Ultimate SP1 or Windows ® XP Professional/Home
Edition SP3.
• The monitor must have a display resolution of 800 x 600 dots (SVGA) or greater.
• The computer must be equipped with a USB port (a separate USB device is required to transfer
measurement data from the receiver to the computer).

Main features of the application
1. Displays 3D graphs of the reverberation frequency characteristics of your room. You can choose to
see these measurements both with and without the equalization performed by this receiver (before
and after calibration).
2. Allows you to display 3D graphics of the group delay characteristics of the different speakers. (The
values before and after calibration can be displayed.)
3. Allows you to display a list of the Advanced MCACC parameters (the results of measurements).
4. Allows you to view graphs in a number of different formats.
5. Allows you to save the various measured data on the computer.
6. Allows you to make memos about the conditions in your room when you made the measurements,
etc.
7. Allows you to print the various graphs and the MCACC measurement values.
