needs work

this product is not user-friendly. i am not a dummy but it had me scratching my head several times trying to figure out what exactly a instruction meant.

Essential Indeed!

Highly recommended for anyone desiring to get the best possible picture and sound from their "home theater", no matter how modest or expensive.

Complicated Use, But Worth the Use

OK. All the reviews here are valid. The DVD is extremely difficult to navigate, as several reviews here state. However, once you find the "wizard" type instructions, using the steps will noticeably improve the video quality of your set, just as other reviews state. I have a 52" Toshiba DLP TV and I can say that with HDTV, it improved it by some 25%. My DVD picture has improved by some 40-50%. It's difficult to attach percentages, but this is the best way to get across the improvements this DVD can help bring. The biggest difference this helps with is in picture noise/pixelation. It does a really good job of cleaning up artifacts you don't want. The problem with the DVD is that it is difficult to find the wizard to use for the calibration. I can't even write the instructions for how to get to it because I don't know/can't recall how I finally found it. But when you do, even a novice can calibrate their TV and notice the improvements. Stick with it, and you'll eventually find the wizard to improve your video quality.
