      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Beethoven

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD picture exhibits sharp and nicely detailed images. At times, the picture can appear slightly soft, but overall definition should be satisfying.

    Soundtrack:

    Reason #58 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read WSR to keep current with the latest A/V gear and technology, gain greater understanding of what's relevant to having a great home theatre, and filter out what's not. Learning that there are levels of quality product (not just bound by price), and once quality is established, it's more about how sight and sound appeal to individual taste.
