Trying to calibrate 7.1 surround

[PV Audio 5,000+ posts]

What's up all, my "room" theatre setup is almost complete, but I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out if it was even worth it at all, seeing as alost all the movies I have are encoded in 5.1 and not 7.1. Does anyone know of any movies or test CDs that have 7.1 format on them? Thanks. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Trust me, I knew all about the different formats and such before I did it. Fact of the matter is, I made the home theatre from scratch, so I really didn't take a loss on anything. I just want to see how it sounds. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Why not just use Dolby ProLogic II?

It doesn't matter anyway because I have a redundant (on purpose) setup where both the receiver and sound card decode the source into whatever format it is. As of right now, I've only seen DPL2, DTS-ES, DTS-Discrete (some stupid *** rainforest clip) and some jokingly awful 4.1 setup disk.
