Advanced Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration System (MCACC)
Advanced MCACC creates the ideal acoustic environment with
the provided microphone. With a push of a button, the self-calibration
feature detects speakers and compensates for the disparities, letting
you enjoy soundtracks and music as they were originally intended.
Front Stage Surround Advance
Enjoy surround sound with
only the front speakers and the subwoofer. Since wall reflections are
not used, the setup is less dependent on the room environment, allowing
front alignment of the speakers. The technology creates excellent sound
image and natural sound, because it does not alter the sound frequency
or the original sound wave.
Advanced Sound Retriever
Pioneer-exclusive Sound Retriever technology significantly
improves WMA/MP3/MPEG-4 AAC compressed audio to CD quality. It applies a
special algorithm to restore the signals in barely audible ranges
usually lost during the compression process.
Auto Level Control
Auto Level Control equalizes volume level differences
between tracks when playing MP3/WMA sources etc. The playback volume is
maintained at a consistent level, so there is no need to make
adjustments for each song.
Down-Firing Subwoofer
The Down-Firing subwoofer efficiently disperses sound with little
distortion, filling your room with rich, deep bass. The innovative
design combines quality performance with a stylish look.
CD->USB Recording
You can directly record CD songs onto USB devices without using
your PC. The data is stored in MP3 format, letting you choose the bit
rate from 128/192/320 kbps.

videos from USB memory sticks, in addition to CD-R/CD-RW/DVD-RW discs.
DivX video lets you enjoy highly compressed files in quality pictures.
