That seems like a pretty good disc. You will get all that on an AV set up disc the Digital Video Esentials disc and the THX Calibration disc There are many other too.

AVR calibration can go further that what these discs will help you with. I'm pretty sure some one who does AVR calibration will EQ all the channels too much like a set up mic does. They will place your speakers correctly for your room too.

I have been wanting to order it for the past 4 weeks, but never got round to it.....finally placed the order today.

You can get it from amazon UK *bad*

AIX website have it in stock.

At £114 ( plus £1.26 shipping ) *unknw*, I don't think I'll be ordering it through amazon.

Even allowing for postage costs and possible import taxes, it should be much cheaper ordering it direct through their own website.

Exactly

Oppo US are charging $11.48 for shipping. Ordering it direct from AIX incurs $13 shipping. So Oppo US is cheaper.

Here's the offline order form which you should fill and print it off:

You can either fax it, post it or email it to service@oppodigital.com.

I've scanned and emailed them the form, and have asked them to send me a paypal invoice to make the payment.

Chrome browser has a bug and doesn't show the form in the print out. I used Internet Explorer.

Most probably, you won't pay import taxes / VAT. Speak to (email) Oppo about it.

I've just paid $33.99 to Oppo for the disc including shipping via PayPal.

Good price ( compared to amazon )

Thanks for all the info, I will put my order in later this week.

They've posted the disc.

 

[michael hoy]

Mine arrived today.

BB, if find time to listen to this disc.

Can you check the test for channel identification - DTS-HD MA 7.1.

I get no sound at all on this test, just want to know if it is a disc fault or my system.

 

[RobinKidderminster]

Good for business. Not had time to use mine but will test as above.

 

[bigboss]

Ok, will check when I get home tomorrow (and if the disc has arrived).

 

[bigboss]

Mine hasn't arrived yet.

 

[michael hoy]

OK, I have discs with DTS-HD MA tracks and the details show on the amp and the discs play fine.

I have emailed AIX to see if they can help, hope you receive yours soon.

 

[bigboss]

Received mine this afternoon. Will check it soon, probably on the weekend.

Hi BB,

received the following from AIX:

The disc is fine...what you are (or aren't hearing) is the DTS legacy stream
and not the DTS HD Master Audio stream. I forced the downmix coefficients to
make the audio virtually silent because DTS does a downmix and not a
separate embedded track like Dolby.

You need to make sure your A/V Receiver is set to the right number of
channels and is actually accepting the DTS HD MA track. If it's not it will
revert to the legacy format...with no sound output. The fact that there's
not sound is because you're hearing the legacy track.
Edit:

re tried the disk, If i turn the volume up to 0 i can hear the test at the same volume level that the other tests do at -35.

As above,

 

[bigboss]

No, not yet. I'll be free on 1st-2nd Nov weekend. Will check then.

Did you give it a try?

Did you give it a try?

No, haven't had a chance unfortunately. Moving house next month, so have been busy lately. I was hoping to check this weekend, but something cropped up at the last minute, and I'm in Lancaster this weekend.

The main purpose of the disc is to calibrate my home cinema system in the new house when I set it up.

 

[bigboss]

Finally, I'm planning to do the calibration tomorrow! I was waiting until all furnishings go in the room, which would help acoustics.

I was wondering how the new home cinema was getting along, but didn't want to nag!
