How do I start using the OMDVD Test DVD?
Insert the green‑disc DVD into a DVD or Blu‑Ray player that is connected to the audio system and verify the system is ready to play audio.

Select the “Delay Measurements” menu, which plays a short sine sweep through the left channel and the chosen second channel simultaneously, allowing you to view the relative impulse‑response timing.
