Valuable Tools

The Radio Shack sound level meter, and the Digital Video Essentials blu-ray disk. The sound level meter is used with DVE to set up the hi-def audio in the home theatre and more faithfully reproduce the intended soundtrack. DVE is also the best calibration disk for setting up the hi-def video, containing a great number of video test patterns and a good tutorial as well.
