    Avia's intuitive on-screen interface lets you easily explore and control the program using your DVD's remote control. The main menu gives you easy access to all the topics of the Avia DVD. Just select a subject area and you'll see a submenu of topics so you can skip ahead to only the information you want. Or, if you prefer, simply start from the beginning and have it run its full course.

Use this section along with a sound pressure meter and the included red, green and blue color filters for testing and adjusting your system.
