My friend got this CD (note it's a CD) so if you want to accurately set up a Dolby Digital/DTS system this is not the way to go. If your a beginner or don't really care how your set up sounds then go for it. Everyone else should get Avia Guide To Hometheater or better yet Digital Video Essentials, both sold right here on amazon.com.
Rating: - Nightmare !!!
Careful!!! IF you are looking for a pure music and video clips to check your latest dolby HT - this will be a nightmare for you. This CD is simply gives wizzzing sound through which you can check all the channels. It wont be helpful if you are using dolby digital. It is good only for old dolby pro logic systems. If you are having DTS decoded etc... this CD will be an expensive toy.
Give another thought beofore you buy... Best suggestion would be DTS / Dolby Digital Demo CDs
Rating: - Useful.... but you really should get a sound level meter
..to go along with it. Otherwise you will be making a lot of ad hoc adjustments which won't make a meaningful difference when you listen to real music.
Rating: - Right up there with Kind of Blue and Sgt Pepper
From "Spoken Channel Identification" through "1 kHz, 0 dB", it doesn't get much better than this! One of the best CDs in my collection. My favorite track is #15 (Cows Moooing) which should have been released as a single (what was WEA thinking?) and possibly given a Puff Daddy or Junior Vasquez remix. If this CD is any indication then "Dolby Surround Test" is going to rule the airwaves with their next release. I can't wait.
My only complaint is that the otherwise informative book doesn't have any pictures of the band. What gives? They can't be THAT ugly!
Rating: - Dolby Surround Test CD
Not in comparative terms, the 5-star rating assigned to this one is subjective, only reflecting my satifaction with it. Perhaps I should give it a 4-star because it certainly could be better.
This CD is very well made, and all in English (i.e. the 30-page instruction/explanation booklet and the "Left Channel, Right Channel, ..." spoken in the first track. It obviously has more than what's needed to set up and test a DPL system. The tracks are good for testing and adjusting any speaker systems and revealing the problems with the speakers and the room accoustic conditions (e.g. speaker ... Read More
