I use Digital Video Essentials for DIY calibration as well. I did improve the colour rendition for my front projector as well as 5.1 sound. I used my eyes with the supplied filters to set up colour and my ears to set up the sound.DVE highly recommends you have a sound meter to set up the sound, and if you are DIY'ing it you will understand why. It's just hard to feel sure you've got it right. Of course sound will be influenced by so many variables (number of people in the room, seating position, adding/removing or even moving furniture) that even with calibration you will still have some change.
They also explain that the best way to measure colour is with colour sensors/meters (but seem to say that you will get very very close with your own eyes, unlike the recommendation for sound). If you are hiring a pro and they don't have that equipment for colour then you might as well do it yourself - it is not hard at all.
I agree that the DVD could be a little better laid out but it's obviously trying to balance technical correctness and information with ease of use. Kind of like a physics person explaining that when you say 'weight' you probably mean 'mass'.
