Re: Home Theater Shack Audio Video Calibration DVD - Official Discussion/Suggestion Thread


You know something that would be great, but I'm sure is way too in depth to even try?

5/6/7.2 Setup
Main Speaker Balance - using basic test tones
= A movie scene utilizing the LR to test setup
Center Channel+LR - using basic test tones
= A movie scene utilizing the LCR to test setup
Surround + LR - using basic test tones
= A movie scene utilizing 5.0 to test setup

You get my drift. It'd be nice to do the level matching of each speaker in sequence and then show a movie (the same movie) utilizing the setup. After each speaker is setup, it goes to the same scene and that speaker is added to the scene. That way you can hear the different speakers at the same time to ensure everything is setup properly.

It's late, so I'm going to do a for instance;

(movie of a car driving down a road)
Balance
LR - Hear the car driving
Level Match
LRC - add Music playing
Level Match
5.0 - add wind or exhaust
Level Match
5.1 - feel exhaust
