irritating dvdAugust 10, 2008 The vast majority of the content on this disc won't help you adjust your televisions picture. There is WAY WAY too much irrelevent technical talk that misdirects from the info that actually is important. The rambling filler on this disc really tests your patience. You have to replay key parts repeatedly to remember what you're really supposed to do with a test signal. If you own a popular tv model, try looking online to see if you can find a review where they list the way they tweaked the TVs settings. I found this on C-Net for both my tvs and tossed this disc aside.
Just what I expectedAugust 3, 2008 The video quality is excellent; the Audio section allowed me to more fully understand how well my surround sound was working; while quite technical, it starts at the beginning and is easy to follow. It is very worth the price!

picture perfectJuly 31, 2008 If your looking to get the best picture possible then the DVE is a must.The picture on my home theater after i used the DVE was incredible.It really made a big difference,and was easy to use.
Very Good and informativeJune 30, 2008 After reading some of the reviews I actually thought I might be in over my head purchasing this disc. But it really isn't that bad. It's best if you take in in short spurts to make sure you're processing all of th information. It's very interesting to understand all of the functions of your expensive hdtv, it really makes you feel as though you are getting your money's worth. I definitely noticed a picture difference after calibrating a 32" Samsung LCD and a 56" Samsung DLP.

Sony DAV-IS10 Home Theater System $399.96 - $799.99 from 11 stores. User rating:0.0 out of 5.
The 5.1 channel home-theater-in-a-box system features five tiny speakers - each about the size of a golf ball. The system, matched with a compact, single disc DVD/CD player/receiver, includes a unique subwoofer that helps the tiny speakers create sounds typically reserved for full size speakers.
While the system features small speakers, it packs all the power of conventional home theater-in-a-box systems with 450 watts of total system power (satellite speakers 50W x 5, plus 2-way subwoofer 100W x 2). The system is specially tuned to deliver a natural sound field that takes the focus off the subwoofer while supplementing mid range and lower frequencies.
