Does anyone know if there is a DVD out there that can be used to set up your system for the best performance? If so, where can I get my hands on one? Thanks.

Yeah, its a whole calibration DVD called Avia. I know theres another brand, but it just slipped my mind, Video-something...

I have the other which is Video Essentials. I have been told that Avia is better but have never compared the 2. I thought VE did a great job of calibrating the video. For the audio I bought the Radio Shack sound meter but eventually found that due to idiosynchrocies in my room and with my hearing I ended up boosting up the surrounds even more, but the disc still provided a good starting point.

Thanks guys. Avia seems to be the ticket. I've found several sources that have them, and they are even for rent. I appreciate the help.

Where can you rent them from?
I did a search for avia at both netflix and dvdovernight with no results?

Did I miss something?

Sorry buzz, I mislead you. I got the Video Essentials DVD at Netflix. I could not find the AVIA either. I'll probably end up buying the AVIA when I get a decent Amazon GC.
