The software to output the results is available from the support area of the Pioneer website (http:// www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/ Home+Entertainment+Custom+Install). Instructions for using the software are also available here. If you have any questions regarding, please contact the Customer Support Division of Pioneer.

It will take about ten seconds for the transmission to complete, then you will be able to analyze the output on your computer.

3When you’re finished, press RETURN.

You will return to the MCACC Data Check menu. Continue with other operations in the MCACC Data Check menu if necessary. Press RETURN again to exit the MCACC Data Check menu.
