However, my TV is, well, worse. Hint, guys... If you don't have the eyes for it, don't try to calibrate your TV yourself! I've still got to figure out how to fix the damn thing.

Yeah, a serious, behind-the-set calibration of a CRT TV is a full-time job. But at least you can try some basic adjustments by yourself, using the AVIA and the R/G/B color filters that come with the DVD.

That's what I did, and all of the sudden everything was red.

Yeah, there's a reset to factory defaults, but I'm afraid of what that might do.

Eh, what the hell, I only live once...

where do you buy calibration cds?

Amazon.com carries the Avia calibration DVD.

Here's a link to it.

it is released way back in 1999, so I would assume there will be no calibration for the 7.1 the rear channels, right?

Hi Type_E,

The Avia disc is fairly costly, I believe. You can also get the Sound&Vision Home Theater Tune-Up DVD for $17 or a bit at Amazon. The S&V disc has many of the same calibration aids as the Avia disc (S&V tech editor David Ranada co-produced the tests on both discs) and is easier to use.
