Avia II
Date undefinedThe Avia II is a great introduction and easy to understand starting guide for someone not familiar with HT (Home Theater) systems and how to connect AVR (Audio Video Receiver), previously idenified as a stereo receiver. And for those true audiophiles it is a good review :)
There are sound tones to make sure your speakers are connected correctly and to set the levels. In addition for audio setting, I would recommend buying a SPL( Sound Pressure Level) meter which measures the loudness of sound in decibels (dBs). Radio Shack makes a very good SPL meter fro $50.
The SPL is more precise than auto-setup because you can very easily adjust teh sound level of every speaker to be exactly equal at the postion listening position or at 1 meter from each speaker.
The video setup is excellent and easy to use for calibrating just about any TV. You do not need any special tools. You need the TV remote and access to the TV setup menu.
Overall, a very good product.

Date undefinedThis video really only helps with a couple of things such as brightness. It wasn't that far off from the factory settings on my plasma tv. Don't bother with this video unless you need a $30 coaster.

Date undefinedThis disc was simple and easy to follow. The 2 "stars" were both informative in their directions, which were easy to follow. I haven't accessed the extra content yet, but the basic tests used will calibrate your display perfectly. This disc is good for both the inexperienced and the "pro". It's broken down into chapters, so if you need to go step-by-step you watch the entire disc. If you have prior knowledge RE: calibration you can skip right down to the tests.
All in all a great product, but if I had to say something bad about it, it could have been less expensive?
