Tastefully designed for both beginning and advanced home-theater enthusiasts, the AVIA Guide to Home Theater is a terrific gateway to system set-up and integration--perfect for either planning or upgrading your home-entertainment system. AVIA, which was written by David Ranada of Stereo Review's Sound & Vision, takes full advantage of the nonlinear DVD-Video format. It lays out simply and clearly the basics of home theater: source components, video setup, and audio setup. Its seven chapters range in topics from home-theater components to viewing environments to system tools, and the disc features a host of professional-quality test signals for complete system calibration. Handy "hot buttons" give more depth on a range of subjects for those who want it. The disc gives insufficient weight to the importance of audio cable (and it recommends optical digital connections over the better-sounding coaxial type), but by and large AVIA is a trustworthy and extremely informative presentation. --Michael Mikesell

Customer Reviews of The AVIA Guide to Home Theater

Does the Job.
I thought I had an excellent picture or setup for my HDTV, but after using the AVIA Guide, it delivered a much better picture. It gives your home theater system, both audio and video a complete checkup and easy to use adjustments and fine tuning. The multitude of tests and adjustments will reveal any problems or short comings in both the audio and video of any home theater system, which makes this DVD a must have. It lacks current information on HDMI, but gives complete helpful information on all other aspects of home theater equipment, connections and setup for the first timer and do it yourselfer.


Good Product
Nice product for setting up home theater. Advance calibration controls can be tricky. Need lot of patience to set up you color calibration. Over all this DVD is a good value.


The Final Step
So, you paid an arm and a leg for a big HD screen and a capable surround system, why don't you have this?? Honestly, I had no idea how much better a properly calibrated image would look compared to the out of the box settings. This disc makes it easy. There are a lot of advanced options, but I stuck to the suite of basic video calibrations and got good results. The image isn't as bright, which concerned me at first, but then I started noticing all the details I was missing with the overly bright and washed out factory settings. My wife commented on the improvement and I ended up using the disc to calibrate our two older standard CRT displays with equally good results. For video calibration everything you need is here. For audio you just have to go down to the local Radio Shack and pick up a $50 sound level meter. Again, the basic audio calibration suite is easy and provides good results. <

>Why not 5 stars, well, I have to say, the provided 40-minute video regarding home theaters is entertaining in its way, but kind of basic. That part of the disc is designed for complete neophytes, but I'm thinking most people don't get a calibration disc prior to purchasing their system and don't really need to be told that the red colored plug goes into the red colored jack.
