Additionally, the receivers boast Pioneer's proprietary MCACC (Multichannel Acoustic Calibration System), which automatically calibrates the output of the speakers based on the unique acoustics of your room. This feature ensures that you get the best possible sound quality regardless of the layout or size of your home theater space.
