Ah , thanks !
So that means if I have a PS3 that I need to get the BT remote in order to enter the button sequence .
I hope to score BHD on Sunday with the BB buy 1 get 1 deal . I dislike BB but the deal is too good to pass up

Are there any instruction anywhere on how to use the different test screens that Sony movies have?
I think there are 5 screens, and I only know what to do on three of those screens.
I should just put in Avia, im guessing they have the same tests too, so once I know what the tests are for (sharpness, brightness, etc...) i can go back to the BD tests.

Whatever you do on the Avia screens should apply to the similar screens on the Sony test screens. Having Avia is nice, then you can use the color filter that came with it to do the color adjustments.
Avia HD would be nice though -- or an updated one... I chuckle whenever I think of how old the video explaination stuff looks on the Avia disc (even though it's only from the late 90s).

The THX test patterns aren't particularly helpful since they are title specific rather than industry wide specific reference patterns.
The problem with the Sony patterns is that they clip WTW and BTB information that is critical to optimal calibration.
We need a proper HD centered calibration disc PRONTO with pro-grade test signals for 8 channel discrete audio too!

Sounds like the only thing the Sony patterns will do is confirm whether or not SD DVD calibration discs match or come close for calibrating. Avia doesn't have BTB or WTW so the Sony patterns are no different in that regard.

Dan, how do you know this? Which test pattern(s) do you think this would apply to? Do you have WFM photos (or prints sent to a PC) to backup your statement? Same for oscilloscope?

Are you sure it's not the player? My PS3 currently clips WTW and BTB (supposedly fixable in firmware) and during calibration of the grayscale I can clearly see that about 10% on the left (black) and 10% on the right (white) just won't show any gradation no matter what I do on my LCD. I thought that was because the original pattern had all 256 levels but my player was clipping WTW and BTB.

It's both. I tested Sony's BD test patterns in the Samsung player, which does pass below black, and there is no visible below black bar in the PLUGE pattern in the corner of the color bar screen. The PS3 does not pass below black on any test pattern.
