When you calibrate a screen using a calibration disc, what you're really calibrating is the combination of player and screen. If you change players and the new player is set up differently to the old, you would need to recalibrate things to get back to the same visual on screen result as before.I don't know about the 3930ci but I do know that there are calibration settings in the setup menue for my Denon 2907 so I would bet you have similar or more extensive options with the 3930. The 2907 allows some adjustments such as gamma that aren't available to the user in the normal menu options of my TV. The discs I have, Digital Video Essentials and the GetGray Calibration disc, have test patterns that could probably be used to calibrate these settings but they probably require test equipment for measurement. My suggestion is to forget about those other settings unless you know what you're doing and simply redo the TV calibration settings that you originally did using the THX optimiser. That should give quite reasonable results and you can probably do a little better again with Avia or either of the 2 discs I mention (I prefer the GetGray disc for my LCD screen—it's specifically designed for fixed pixel displays). If you want to get even better results and don't have the appropriate test equipment and knowledge, which I suspect is the case or you wouldn't have asked the question you asked (not a put down, I'm in that boat myself), then get a professional calibration.
