Introducing the FD Trinitron Wega

Overview

This chapter describes the contents of the package in which the TV is shipped and provides an overview of the features of your Wega TV.

Presenting the FD Trinitron Wega

 

The FD Trinitron Wega (pronounced VAY-GAH) is characterized by

 

outstanding contrast, uncompromising accuracy, and corner-to-

 

corner detail.

 

You will recognize the superiority of Wega technology almost

 

immediately. The first thing you will probably notice is minimal glare

 

from the flat picture tube. This flat-screen technology improves

 

picture detail without distortion, unlike conventional curved screens.

 

The FD Trinitron delivers outstanding image detail not only at the

 

screen center, but also at the corners — so you can enjoy a bright,

 

clear picture from any location in a room.

 

 

 

 

Package Contents

Along with your new Trinitron TV, the packing box contains a

 

remote control and two AA (R6) batteries. These items are all you

 

need to set up and use the TV.

 

 

 

 

Features

Some of the features that you will enjoy with your new TV include:

 

❑ DRC® (Digital Reality Creation) Multifunction: Unlike

 

conventional line doublers, the DRC Multifunction feature

 

replaces the signal’s NTSC waveform with the HD equivalent,

 

while doubling the number of vertical and horizontal lines. This

 

results in four times the density for quality sources, such as DVD,

 

satellite, and digital camcorders. The Video Menu allows you to

 

select interlaced, progressive, or CineMotion™ output.

 

❑ Screen Mode: Enables you to resize the picture, depending on

 

the signal source.

 

❑ 16:9 Enhancement

 

: Vertical Compression

 

KV-27/32/36HS420 Only

 

technology that maximizes picture resolution when playing

 

“anamorphic” or “enhanced for widescreen” sources, including

 

many DVDs.
