ac220 I know exactly how you feel. and the name of it is frustration. When I first started I missed 37 before I got to 100, and was ready to quit.

800 without a missed calibration movie.

Thanks to all of you who have given me such good suggestions and tips. I have now viewed a little more than 800 movies without getting even one CM incorrect. I'm amazed at myself. All these good tips and others in the forums should be compiled into a "Users Manual" for the VM, for newbies ...
