SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Operate the TV only on 120 V AC.

One blade of the power plug is wider than the other for safety purposes and will fit into the power outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the

￿outlet, contact your dealer.

If any liquid or solid object falls into the TV, unplug it and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it further.

CAUTION

When using TV games, computers, and similar products with your TV, keep the brightness and contrast functions at low settings. If a fixed (non-moving) pattern is left on the screen for long periods of time at a high brightness or contrast setting, the image can be permanently imprinted onto the screen. Continuously watching the same channel can cause the imprint of station logos onto the TV screen. These types of imprints are not covered by your warranty because they are the results of misuse.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not use this polarized plug with an extension cord, receptacle, or other outlet unless the blades can be fully inserted to prevent blade exposure.

KV-20FV300, KV-24FV300 specifications

The Sony KV-20FV300 and KV-24FV300 are two remarkable CRT televisions that represent the pinnacle of traditional television technology. Released in the late 1990s, these models are known for their exceptional picture quality and user-friendly features that captivated audiences during an era dominated by tube TVs.

The KV-20FV300 features a 20-inch screen, while the KV-24FV300 boasts a larger 24-inch display. Both models are designed with Sony's advanced Trinitron technology, which enhances image clarity through an innovative horizontal aperture grill. This technology delivers vivid colors, sharp details, and excellent contrast ratios, ensuring an engaging viewing experience whether you are watching movies, playing video games, or enjoying sports.

One of the standout features of these televisions is their Super Fine Pitch technology, which allows for finer and more precise image resolution. This results in a smoother picture with less visible scan lines, making the viewing experience more immersive. The incorporation of a high-quality shadow mask further improves color rendition and minimizes distortion, ensuring that viewers can enjoy their favorite content as it was intended.

In terms of connectivity, both models come equipped with multiple inputs, including composite and S-video ports, allowing users to connect various devices such as VCRs, DVD players, and gaming consoles easily. The integration of a built-in tuner enables users to access a variety of TV channels without the need for an external box, making it convenient for everyday viewing.

Another notable characteristic of the KV-20FV300 and KV-24FV300 is their ergonomic design. The televisions feature a sleek and compact form factor, making them suitable for different room sizes and setups. Additionally, the user-friendly remote control provides easy navigation through the menu settings and channel selection, enhancing the overall user experience.

Sony's commitment to sound quality is evident in these models as well, with a built-in speaker system that delivers clear and robust audio. The stereo sound output ensures a balanced soundstage, making dialogue crisp and music enjoyable.

In conclusion, the Sony KV-20FV300 and KV-24FV300 are exemplary examples of CRT television technology, combining high-quality image reproduction and user-focused features. Though times have changed and flat-panel displays have taken over the market, these models remain cherished by enthusiasts and those nostalgic for the classic CRT era. Their legacy reflects Sony's dedication to innovation and quality in the realm of consumer electronics.
