Ok. I got the DVD's (Star Wars Trilogy). Episode IV, so far... The Sound: Is great. I use a Bose System, so no DTS for now. The DD5.1 sounds great. In my system If I select DTS, no sound is produced because Bose does not have DTS, but with these DVD's when I select DTS, the DVD player detects the DTS but there is sound on the speakers (I don't know if it is a real DTS and I can't find out if it really is). On some parts the dialogs distorted a bit but not too much. The Image: Is much better than the VHS copies, that's for sure. I have a Sony Plasma PFM42B2. In the plasma I had to make some adjustments in the image to get the widescreen as it was ment to (I don't think it is anaphormic as they say it is) I modified the vertical size to get it right. I had to make adjustments in color, brightness and color temp to get a better image with more contrast (Since I can save the settings, I don't mind, I just reload them whenever I want). I guess this is because the plasma gives more resolution than a normal TV and the minor details are bigger. When I watched the disc in a normal TV (in the bedroom) it was perfect. I didn't have to make any adjustment, the image was near to perfection (for a Laser disc transfer). Anyway I am planning to make more close adjustments in the plasma for the other discs, I watched the first one at the end of a large busy day and I was tired, so I guess I will get better results with a clear mind. The Transfer: I think it is very fair. Let's keep in mind that these are Laser Discs transfers, not from the original masters, so we won't get the resolution of a normal DVD. In some points the movements weren't smooth but that didn't bother me. The Discs: The discs came with some scratches because of the package they used. I had to get 3 DVD cases to hold the DVD's. I had to clean the discs to avoid loss in the image. They came with the covers (fine printed). The Menu: Good but could've been better. The Extras: Well... the trailer looks fine. Enhanced DVD?: I haven't tried it yet, but they say, in the cover, that there are more extras if you insert the disc on a PC, don't know about that. I will see... Well, that's all for now... I'll let you know about the other discs, I guess that, since this was the first one and made in the 70's, the others will look better.
