Connecting a PC for Advanced MCACC
output
If you use the Professional Acoustic Calibration EQ (see
page 40) to measure the reverb characteristics of your
listening room, you can check the results graphically
using a computer connected to this receiver. Use a
commercially-available RS-232C cable to connect the RS-
232C jack on your computer to the 9-pin RS-232C jack on
the back panel of this receiver (the cable must be cross
type, female–female).
The software to output the results is available from the
support area of the Pioneer website (www.pioneer-
eur.com/files/support/MCACC/software.html).
Instructions for using the software are also available
here. If you have any questions about the software,
please contact the Pioneer Service Center specified on
your warranty card.

requirements:
• Operating system must be Windows

K6 / 300 MHz (or equivalent) with at least 128 MB of
memory, and your monitor must be able to display a

and/or the PC manufacturer for more information on
making the proper port settings.

Connect your computer to the RS-232C jack on
