    \u201cStar Trek\u201d: The Original Series<\/strong> is presented in its original broadcast 1.33 full frame aspect ratio and considering the show\u2019s age, looks quite good with an all around clean transfer free of major instances of dust marks or scratches.<\/p>\n

    The Dolby Digital 5.1 track is perfectly satisfying providing good depth for ambient noises to crisp and clear for the dialogue levels mostly coming from the center channel. It\u2019s nothing amazing but still an effective standard DD track.<\/p>\n
