AV / Movie to test 5.1 system

[kapilg]

Friends,

Recently completed my 5.1 HT setup. Can anyone suggest a good Movie/audio visual clip to check /test the system to its full potential. I have Denon 2310 and use its PLxi Cinema mode to watch movies.

Thanks.

Hi Kapil,

You could also try these,

Can be run from your AR with PC as a source as well.

Keep us posted of your results

The Omaha Beach landing scene in the initial phases of "Saving Private Ryan" is quite a good test of the 5.1 surround effects.

You should be able to hear distinctly and separately ... the whiz of the machine gun bullets and the crash of the mortar shells from all around .... even the splatter of the mud flying around.

Avatar ( Tree Destroying scene in pre-climax)
Quantum of Solace( Action scene in Opera house...background shifts to diff. levels)
