Input -level setting "approved DVDs"?


The BFD guide makes sense... you find hot bass on a DVD, this drives your DVD player to a very high (max?) line out, you set sub out on HT receiver to a line out level which doesn't quite clip BFD, then set sub gain to match mains.

Question: Has anyone here gone to trouble to actually figure out which DVD(s) are hottest (line out on DVD player). I could guess at a few, but sometimes wide dynamic range can fool you and I'm wondering if some one has already nailed this down. Or does DVE or AVIA actually have tones which which drive a DVD player to max output?

thanks.
