    Story Synopsis:


    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD picture offers rich, swingin

    Soundtrack:
    The 5.1-channel audio presentations sport an aggressive, energized soundstage presence throughout. Recording quality is quite impressive, and overall recording level seems substantially higher than that for film soundtracks. All channels are very actively engaged, including the .1 LFE, and sub-50 Hz content is notable in both the front and surround channels. If you favor really being immersed in a surround sound music performance, this DVD could well be your ticket. The DTS

    Reason #81 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I saw my first issue in a newsstand two years ago. The movie reviews caught my attention right away. They were extremely thorough with their inclusion of such items as release dates, aspect ratios, and list of main creators like cinematographer, director, and writers. The breakdown of the critic's composite score is very telling and useful. Equipment reviews are extremely comprehensive and tend to cover a greater range of brands than most publications. One Installer's Opinion is a gem. I've been a subscriber for over a year now and have two of your special publications, both of which are first rate. You seem to be a couple of months ahead of your rival publications with reviews, and new equipment announcements are testament to the quality and dedication of your staff. I'm eagerly looking forward to the next issue as always.
