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 SC-07 or SC-05.

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.

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 pages 50 and 51 of the Operating Instructions of the SC-07/05), 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

•Operating system must be Microsoft® Windows® XP (Service Pack 2) or Windows® 2000.

•CPU must be at least Pentium 3 / 300 MHz or AMD K6 / 300 MHz (or equivalent) with at least 128 MB of memory, and your monitor must be able to display a minimum resolution of 800x600.
