I would think the tones from the disc are more accurate for HT because they are actually coming from the DVD source.
Scott, I’m really no help with this , (maybe one of our engineers?) I calibrated using the Outlaw and have not compared to the differences when calibrating through the DVD player on a disc like AVIA. One of these days I’ll get to compare everything but….
When I see posters discuss it, it seems to be sheer personal preference whether they calibrate using pre/pro or receiver provided tones or through the discs and they all comment on the slight differences. There also seem to be slight variations remarked upon when comparing one calibration disc to each other.
If you do a search under ‘Favorite Demos’ in the forum seems I remember some comparison discussion in the past on calb. Discs preferred and why, - if using your player.
