Neither chroma noise or compression artifacts degrade the image in any way. The Dolby Digital 2.0 channel soundtrack decodes to standard surround with excellent results, proving that there is still life in the old format, for those who know how to take advantage of it. There is good channel separation across the forward soundstage, plus dialogue reproduction is clean and clear. The surround channels are very active, providing sound effects, ambience and musical fill. Bass is relatively strong and the mix offers good musical reproduction.
Subtitles are available on the DVD in English.
The interactive menus are very basic, delivering only the standard scene selection and setup features.
