Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration System (MCACC)
MCACC makes it little more than a one-touch operation to create an ideal surround sound listening environment. Just place the supplied microphone at your listening position and push the MCACC setup button on the remote control. The system detects speakers and measures the sound field, and then automatically compensates for uneven speaker distance. Frequency response and sound pressure levels. You enjoy a smoother, more even sound field thanks to electronically equalized speaker distance, timbre and sound pressure levels, for even greater satisfaction.
Sound Retriever
MP3/WMA/MPEG-4 AAC compressed music files are a great way to get more music onto a CD-ROM or portable digital audio player, but compressing sound files compromises the audio quality, even though you may not have noticed it.

The result is CD quality sound with all the power and life brought back to your favourite music.
