your listening room, you can graphically check the

corrected characteristics of group delay processed by the
exclusive correction filter by installing the corresponding

The software to output the results is available from the
support area of the Pioneer website (www.pioneer-

Advanced MCACC output using your PC

data is erased when the receiver is turned off.
1 Select ‘Output PC’ and press ENTER.
When the receiver is ready for transmission, Start the
MCACC application on your PC shows on the OSD.

Follow the instructions provided with the application. It
will take about ten seconds for the transmission to
