Pioneer VSX-AX2AV-S manual Data Management, Checking MCACC preset data, Copying MCACC preset data

The System Setup menu 07

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

Data Management

This system allows you to store up to six MCACC presets, allowing you to calibrate your system for different listening positions (or frequency adjustments for the

same listening position).1 This is useful for alternate settings to match the kind of source you’re listening to and where you’re sitting (for example, watching movies from a sofa, or playing a video game close to the TV).

From this menu you can check your current settings, copy from one preset to another, name presets for easier identification and clear any ones you don’t need.

1Select ‘Data Management’ from the System Setup menu.

See Making receiver settings from the System Setup menu above if you’re not already at this screen.

Copying MCACC preset data

If you want to manually adjust the Acoustic Calibration EQ (see Manual MCACC setup above), we recommend

copying your current settings2 to an unused MCACC preset. Instead of just a flat EQ curve, this will give you a reference point from which to start.

1Select ‘MCACC Data Copy’ from the Data Management setup menu.

4.Data Management				4b.MCACC Data		Copy
	a.MCACC	Data	Check
	b.MCACC	Data	Copy	From
	c.Memory	Rename		[	M1. MEMORY 1		]
	d.Memory	Clear		To

			:Return			:Cancel

Note

1This can be done in Automatically setting up for surround sound (MCACC) on page 7 or Automatic MCACC (Expert) on page 33, either of which you should have already completed.
