I'm partial to AVIA . It's a pretty easy to use calibration disc. I believe Amazon has it. Or do a search on where to buy Avia and you'll get plenty of links. -
AVIA is my go-to calibration DVD. But if you want a HD disc, you'll have to go with Digital Video Essentials on blu-ray.
Some movies have THX trailers at the beginning; haven't seen a DD intro on any movie DVDs recently. Some DTS movies have DTS intros.Comment

There is some kind of THX demo disc out there. I ordered one off ebay a couple years ago, and while it is pretty awesome (has all of the THX intros to date, as well as the "THX Wow" demo. The problem was, it was something someone burned and created on their own.-ChuckComment

Yup, DTS has had three Blu-rays now, I know Dolby has at least one (kind of sucked though). I think the last THX disc I received was a BR as well.
They're out there, but you generally need to go to Cedia or CES to get them right now.

Actually, the mouse has put one out that looks pretty decent, Disney WOW: World of Wonder. It was available in their movie rewards briefly, but sold out. I will get it eventually, and report back what I think. The thread on it at AVS is a little short on feedback from more advanced HT enthusiasts.Originally posted by Kevin P
There is also the Spears & Munsil HD benchmark disc.Comment

The best DTS demo experience I've had to date is the beginning of the DTS version of Eagles "Hell freezes over". It almost destroys my speakers !!! :-)Dan Madden :TComment

I'm a sucker for these kinds of discs, and continue to collect them every chance I get.

For those who don't know, new editions of Avia and Digital Essentials are about to be released for new technologies since the original editions. Both videos are useful reference items to use in learning about, setting up, and fully calibrating your system in both audio and video. I own both original... -
When calibrating your system with an SPL and say the AVIA disc (or some other) Where do you start with regards to the volume setting on the 1066? Do you set everything flat (i.e. factory defaults,) and then turn up the volume to a certian number. Or do you set the system flat, and turn up the volume... -
I've been using Video Essentials for about 3 years (I think) with great results on audio and video. I recently purchased the AVIA DVD and adjusted my RPTV with it last night. When I was finished, the picture had a very noticable red tint, especially with facial tones. I went back and re-adjusted it... -
I'm using RadioShack Analog-Display Sound Level Meter (model 3302050) to calibrate channel levels on a Rotel RSP-1066/RMB-1075 combo, together with "Avia: Guide to Home Theater" DVD. However I get different results if I use the samples within the AVIA DVD when compared with the build in test... -
This last week I was calibrating my RSX-1055 and noticed a problem. I was using the AVIA disc in a Panasonic DVD player. The DVD player is connected via both optical into one of the digital inputs, and analog into the multi-channel inputs. I did this due to the fact that the player can play DVD-A recordings...
