    MCACCMCACC stands for Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration System.

    It's an automatic sound field adjustment system that enables you to precision-tune your system to your living room, just like a sound professional, but with minimum effort.

    A microphone monitors the sound environment and an equaliser (either 5 or 9-band, depending on which model of amplifier you have) optimally adjusts the sound parameters.

    The result sounds like a professional recording engineer has fine-tuned your amplifier or home cinema system.

    MCACC was created as a joint effort between ourselves and professional sound engineers at AIR Studios; it's unique to Pioneer, so you won't find it on any other products.

Surround Sound

  • Dolby Pro Logic Surround Yes

  • Dolby Pro Logic Surround II Yes

  • Dolby Digital Yes

    The current surround sound quality decoding standard, Dolby Digital means movie theatre sound performance for a home cinema. The listener will be wrapped in surround sound by 5.1-channel audio sound compression technology.

    Depending on the speakers, the front left and right, centre, rear left and right speakers can span frequencies from 20 Hz - 20 kHz and there is a dedicated subwoofer channel for additional low frequency sound effects. Extra features mean not only stunning soundtracks but also additional language tracks on one disc.

  • DTS Digital Surround Yes

    DTS 5.1-channel playback decoding technology has rapidly gained popularity thanks to its dynamic sound impact that flies at the listener from left, right and centre surround speakers.
    Open up the doors of digital home cinema and super surround sound with any Pioneer DVD-Video player and A/V amplifier/receiver which can handle DTS and DTS ES encoded digital audio data streams.

  • Surround Modes
    • Front Surround Modes: 3 (Front Stage Surround Advance Wide, Front Stage Surround Advance Focus, Extra Power)
    • New advanced surround modes: 8 (action, unplugged, expanded, TV surround, sports, advanced game, virtual surround, extended source)
    • 2 channel surround modes: 5 (Auto, Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Pro Logic II Movie, Dolby Pro Logic II Music, Stereo)

    Advanced Movie:
    Reproduces a mid-sized movie theatre environment.

    Advanced Music:
    Simulates the acoustic environment of a large concert hall.

    Expanded:
    This mode is especially designed to give sound depth to stereo sources. The overall effect builds a dynamic and broad sound space, allowing two-channel (stereo) signals to imitate a five speaker sound. Use with Dolby Pro Logic for a stereo surround effect. You can also use with Dolby Digital sources for a wider stereo field than the Surround modes.

    Sports mode:
    Sports lovers will want to use this mode when watching their favourite game. It gives you the impression that you're at the statium, in the middle of the action.

    TV Surround:
    You can use this mode to give surround sound to mono or stereo TV audio sources.

    Phones Surround:
    This is very similar to the Virtual Surround mode, and is available when you're listening through headphones to create an overall surround sound effect.

    5-Channel Stereo:
    This can be selected to give powerful multi-speaker sound to a stereo source with equal power delivered to all the speakers. It is especially suited to music sources with deep bass and a strong rhythmic feel.

    Virtual Surround:
    When you select this mode, you will hear a surround sound effect produced from the two front speakers only. When selected, you won't hear any sound from the other speakers in your system.

    Virtual Surround Back:
    The Virtual Surround Back effect simulates 6.1 surround channel listening, giving the impression that there is a surround back speaker in your system when listening to a 5.1 channel source.

    Dialogue Enhancement:
    With Dialogue Enhancement mode, centre channel sounds appear to project from the TV, i.e. at ear level, for enhanced dialogue reproduction.

  • Midnight Listening Mode Yes

    If others are sleeping or studying, trying to enjoy a program quietly shouldn't compromise such sound qualities as surround effects or dialogue clarity. Midnight Listening Mode is the solution. It adjusts subwoofer, rear and centre speaker levels, while enhancing delay and compressing dynamic range, for greater enjoyment of cinema-like sound at low volume.
