OMDVD Test DVD
Getting Started Guide
Making measurements of multichannel surround audio systems using OmniMic is easy with the Dayton
Audio OMDVD Test DVD. The OMDVD Test DVD features an intuitive, easy-to-navigate menu structure
and high-quality test signals that allow you to test and measure channels of a multichannel audio system
individually or all at once. The OMDVD Test DVD is the essential complement to the OmniMic V2
measurement system for the home theater enthusiast or professional A/V installer.
If you’re just getting started with OmniMic, be sure to review the OmniMic V2 Quick Reference
Guide to familiarize yourself with the measurement process and obtain your microphone
calibration file before continuing.
Using the Test DVD:
To start using the OMDVD Test DVD, just insert the DVD (Green Disc) into a DVD or DVD-capable BluRay player connected to the audio system, and verify that the system is ready to play audio. There is
nothing extra to install.
Note: The DVD menu structure will first advise you to decrease the system volume, and increase it as
needed for performing measurements. This is recommended to avoid damage to system components
such as loudspeakers from excessive volume. This message will disappear in a moment.
Selecting Test Signals:
When performing measurements from within the OmniMic V2 software, the software will display the
required test track in a message area at the top of the window. These track numbers correspond to the
tracks on the OmniMic test signal CD (Yellow Disc), but they are followed by a description of the track to
be played.

OmniMic software.
Playing Test Signals:
After choosing the appropriate test signal type, a menu will be displayed with five speaker icons, each
corresponding to the channels of a 5.1-channel audio system. Using the arrow keys on your DVD player
remote, select the channel that will play the desired test signal.
