Miata Mailing List: March 1999, Message #2

sponsored by

Jeff,

I got the copy of the DVD I ordered yesterday too.  Although I didn't
get to watch it really, I put it in the player to see what special
effects/options were available.  The sound in 5.1 is phenomenal and
the picture is perfectly proportioned for a 16X9 ratio TV! (Realize
I've been putting money into audio/video toys long before the Miata.)

I'll watch it tonight since my wife will be gone and I can "crank up
the volume!"

Have fun!
