Pioneer SC-05, SC-07 Checking Mcacc Data, Set the operation selector switch to RCV, then press

The Advanced MCACC menu 07

The following options determine how the reverb characteristics of your listening area are displayed in Reverb View and Output PC (see Connecting a PC for Advanced MCACC output on page 72):

•EQ OFF – You will see the reverb characteristics of your listening area without the equalization performed by this receiver (before calibration).

•EQ ON – You will see the reverb characteristics of your listening area with the equalization performed by this receiver (after calibration).1 Note that the EQ response may not appear entirely flat due to adjustments necessary for your listening area.

Use / to select the channel, frequency, and time setting. Use / to switch between them.

Select the setting from the following time periods (in milliseconds): 0~20ms, 10~30ms, 20~40ms, 30~50ms, 40~60ms, 50~70ms and 60~80ms. This setting will be applied to all channels during calibration.

When you’re finished, select START. It will take about 2 to 4 minutes for the calibration to finish.

After the Acoustic Calibration Equalization is set, you are given the option to check the settings on-screen.

When the reverb measurement is finished, you can select Reverb View to see the results on-screen. See Professional Calibration EQ graphical output on page 116 for troubleshooting information.

4If you selected ‘Reverb View’, you can check the reverb characteristics for each channel. Press RETURN when you’re done.

This appears according to the setting you chose in Reverb Measurement (step 3 above). Use / to select the channel and the frequency you want to check. Use / to go back and forth between the three. Note that the markers on the vertical axis indicate decibels in 2 dB steps.

5If ‘Advanced EQ Setup’ is selected, select the MCACC memory to be stored, then enter the desired time setting for calibration, and then select START. Based on the reverb measurement above, you can choose the time period that will be used for the final frequency adjustment and calibration. Even though you can make this setting without reverb measurement, it is best to use the measurement results as a reference for your time setting. For an optimal system calibration based on the direct sound coming from the speakers, we recommend using the 30~50ms setting.
