Gave us:

Aren't you reliant on the stability of the DVD player reference clock
for the stability of the test tones?

For audio? absolutely. It had nothing to do with the DVD player's
clock. There are several industry standard tones provided, and the
disc replaced hardware TV test generators for years.
So varying the reference clock of a DVD player doesn't affect the pitch
of any tones played back off a disk? OK. I wondered because it does on a
CD player.

It carries DTS and THX certified content.
K, so it's a good for setting up home theatre equipment at the very
least

That is the current reference standard for MPEG, if you know who
they are.
Not personally, but I may have heard of them in passing.
That's good enough for me. I can verify the setup of my
FPD,
FPD?
and I can setup my stereo sicwith the audio diagnostic and
setup section.


I would suspect a GPS reference
would be considerably better. Of course, I could be wrong!

Hey, chucko! He didn't give a GPS source. You don't get to change
the scene, pal!
Hey 'pal' I didn't try to change the scenario, I just speculated that a
GPS source would be better.
A subsequent poster mentioned a GPS setup.
Go back and read.
No need, I read that post, that's why I mentioned it. Turn down the
aggression a notch or two, I only asked a question and speculated that
there might be a better way.
