      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    What if you did a favor

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD picture has a warm, natural appearance. Images are sharp and detailed with excellent contrast and shadow delineation. Color fidelity is well balanced, with accurate fleshtones, fully saturated hues, and deep blacks. There is no distracting pixelization. Edge enhancement is rarely a factor, and the picture should surely delight with its solid, pleasing qualities. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The sonic presentation, in Dolby

    Reason #4 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review to get the facts on equipment and industry news. I started reading your magazine as a consumer and found your level of education and technical detail refreshing when compared to the audio/video mass I read before.Now I run my own custom home theatre company and find your mag invaluable in keeping up with the direction this industry is going. I also give a subscription as a gift to each of my customers knowing that they will be further educated and will enjoy their equipment even more.
