RE: OT : AVIA Test DVD

["Paul Gale" <groups@xxxxxxx>]

Did you go for a digital or analogue meter? Analogue is better as I
believe the digital ones are too sensitive and are difficult to get a
good reading (whereas the analogue needle, due to the laws of physics,
has some damping). And they're cheaper.



The Avia disc has everything you could want, from picture tests to
sound
patterns and speaker/sub crossover tests.

Is this the 'best' Home Cinema Test DVD?



I've got a Sound Level/Pressure meter on order - will this DVD help me
with
this? Or is it simply Picture oriented?



I guess I'm really after Picture and 5.1 sound test patterns so that I
can
get the best out of my home cinema setup, AND ideally those Cinema-like
audio-visual demo's so that I can bore friends etc with.



Any recommendations for the cheapest source? (online preferably)



James

I've got it and found it very useful - loads of test options etc.
