Test patterns, are they on the short list?

Re: Test patterns, are they on the short list?

If possible, I would vote for additionally some sort of DD5.1 audio test, to verify the proper operation of each speaker, proper volume adjustments, and possibly proper speaker phase.

My BR player had something like that as an option in it's setup process. But I've sold my BR player after buying VUDU and now have nothing.

Doesn't your receiver do this? Mine does.

....snip....I'll move those to the "VUDU Demo" account once I track down whoever created it... any suggestions on useful additions?

Hey Jake,

If your still taking suggestions I'd love to see the pictures Shia LaBeouf had on Spielberg and Lucas.

You mean the ones he got from Hayden Christiansen after they finished with the Star Wars movies?

If you mean my Directv receiver then no, it only has an option to output DD5.1 or PCM.

If you mean my Bose sound system, then sort of. They provided a DVD disk with the system to do that, but I lost that a long time ago.

But even if I did have the disk, it doesn't reflect the sound I'm getting from the VUDU box. I get wildly different audio results depending which input source I'm using and even for Directv which channel I'm watching.

So a VUDU test tone would be good to "calibrate" my Bose for VUDU's particular audio out.

It would be great if they were included in Vudu labs and someone wrote up a good how to article on how to use them via the Vudu.

Sounds like a job for VUDU BLOG.
