Any Pixar DVD has THX test tones to calibrate your system before you begin playing the disc.

Jan,

That's good to know. So, do THX test tones sound different than other test tones, e.g., do they come with a slight "MOO?"

". . . do they come with a slight "MOO?"


I bet this one gets milked for what it's worth :-)


I use the THX test tones (with SPL meter) to calibrate both my Denon 2900 for hi-res surround playback (analogue connections) and my Marantz SR-7300 for DVD surround playback (digital connection). I read somewhere that the Denon's test tones weren't that accurate and I calibrate for movies a little differently than for DVD-A and SACD.

The Avia Guide to Home Theatre DVD is a great piece to have for both audio and video, it has frequency sweeps, phase tests, test tones for the subwoofer, etc. etc.

Jan, what was the frequency test on the Emma CD?
It is very effective.

It was just one band off an old Delos Sampler CD. You can find more info on the disc here; https://www.ecoustics.com/electronics/products/reviews/186180.html

I always preferred "Sam Hall" for snuggling.
