FIG. 1 shows a blocking diagram of a testing device 10 for testing the timbre of a disc player (not shown). The disc player generates audio signals when playing a disc, and outputs the audio signals via left and right sound tracks (not shown). The left and right sound tracks are electronically connected to the testing device 10. The testing device 10 includes a storing module 11, a receiving module 12, an obtaining module 13, a determining module 14, a display module 15, and a controlling module 16. The disc in this embodiment records a predetermined audio file, the disc player is a DVD player.

The storing module 11 stores a number of timbre parameters. The timbre parameters include at least a frequency parameter, a volume parameter, and an SNR(signal-to-noise ratio) parameter. Each timbre parameter has a standard value. In this embodiment, each timbre parameter includes a first standard value corresponding to the left sound track and a second standard value corresponding to the right sound track. The first and second standard values may be the same, or different from each other. Each frequency parameter, each volume parameter and each SNR parameter all further include a number of values corresponding to different sound track respectively, such as left sound track and right sound track.

The receiving module 12 receives audio signals from the disc player, wherein the audio signals may be output from left sound track and right sound track of the disc player.

The obtaining module 13 analyses the audio signals to obtain a test value of each timbre parameter. In detail, the obtaining module 13 generates at least one audio file according to the audio signals. The audio file in this embodiment may be a WAVE file. The obtaining module 13 transforms the audio file using Fast Fourier Transform (time-frequency transformation) to obtain the test value of each timbre parameter for evaluating the timbre of the disc player.

The determining module 14 determines whether the timbre of the disc player is qualified based on the test value of each timbre parameter. When the timbre of the disc player is qualified, the controlling module 16 controls the display module 15 to display a message for informing the testing personnel that the disc player is qualified. When the timbre of the disc player is unqualified, the controlling module 16 controls the display module 15 to display a message for informing the testing personnel that the disc player is unqualified.

In this embodiment, when a difference value between the test value of each timbre parameter and the corresponding standard value falls within a predetermined range, the determining module 14 determines that the timbre of the disc player is qualified. When a difference value between the test value of each timbre parameter and the corresponding standard value does not fall within a predetermined range, the determining module 14 determines that the timbre of the disc player is unqualified. Each difference value c in this embodiment may be calculated by an equation: c=|a−b|/b×100%, wherein “a” represents the test value of each timbre parameter, and “b” represents each standard value of each timbre parameter.

In other embodiments, when the test value of each timbre parameter is less than or equal to the corresponding standard value, the determining module 14 determines the timbre of the disc player is qualified. When the test value of each timbre parameter is greater than the corresponding standard value, the determining module 14 determines the timbre of the disc player is unqualified.

The controlling module 16 controls the display module 15 to display the test value for informing the state of the disc player. The display module 15 may be a display screen integrated within the testing device 10, or may be a display electrically connected to the testing device 10.

FIG. 2 shows a testing method for testing a disc player. The method is applied in the testing device 10. The testing device 10 may be contained in a computer, or may be an independent device. The method includes the following steps:

In step S201, the storing module 11 stores a number of timbre parameters. The timbre parameters include at least a frequency parameter, a volume parameter, and a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) parameter. In this embodiment, each timbre parameter includes a first standard value corresponding to the left sound track and a second standard value corresponding to the right sound track. The first and second standard values may be the same, or different from each other. Each frequency parameter, each volume parameter and each SNR parameter all further include different sound tracks, such as left sound track and right sound track.

In step S202, the receiving module 12 receives audio signals from the disc player, wherein the audio signals may be output from left sound track and right sound track of the disc player.

In step S203, the obtaining module 13 analyses the audio signals to obtain a test value of each timbre parameter. In detail, the obtaining module 13 generates at least one audio file according to the audio signals. The audio file in this embodiment may be a WAVE file. The obtaining module 13 transforms the audio file using Fast Fourier Transform (time-frequency transformation), and obtains the test value of each timbre parameter for evaluating the timbre of the disc player.

In step S204, the determining module 14 determines whether the timbre of the disc player is qualified based on the test value of each timbre parameter. When the timbre of the disc player is qualified, step S205 is implemented. When the timbre of the disc player is unqualified, step S206 is implemented.

In this embodiment, when a difference value between each test value of each timbre parameter and the corresponding standard value falls within a predetermined range, the determining module determines that the timbre of the disc player is qualified. When a difference value between each test value of each timbre parameter and the corresponding standard value does not fall within a predetermined range, the determining module 14 determines that the timbre of the disc player is unqualified. Each difference value c in this embodiment may be express by the equation: c=|a−b|/b×100%. In the equation, the “a” represents each test value of each timbre parameter, the “b” represents each standard value of each timbre parameter.

In other embodiments, when each test value of each timbre parameter is less than or equal to the corresponding standard value, the determining module 14 determines the timbre of the disc player is qualified. When each test value of each timbre parameter is more than the corresponding standard value, the determining module 14 determines the timbre of the disc player is unqualified.

In step S205, the controlling module 12 controls the display module 15 to display a message for informing the testing personnel that the disc player is qualified and the test value of each timbre parameter.

In step S206, the controlling module 12 controls the display module 15 to display a message for informing the testing personnel that the disc player is unqualified and the test value of each timbre parameter.
