Active Control™ continuously measures and corrects all incoming signals to provide the best picture settings. This feature provides a sharp and virtually noise-free picture any time, from any NTSC source. NTSC is the National Television Standards Committee for- mat devised in the 1940s for TV broadcast analog video signals (525 lines: 30 Hz).
Alternate Channel (A/CH) button allows you to switch back and forth between the currently viewed channel and the previously viewed channel.
Automatic Phosphor Aging Compensation (APAC) works with the set’s Automatic Format feature to prevent screen burn left by nonmoving images. Periodically, APAC automatically shifts your television picture in very small increments, but in increments large enough to blur image retention. APAC is like a screen saver for your TV.
Audio/video jacks allow direct connections with VCRs and other accessories for quality TV picture and sound playback. Component video input jacks are provided for high-fidelity color and picture resolution when using digital video source material, such as a DVD.
Audio Volume Leveler (AVL) control keeps the TV’s sound at an even level. Peaks and valleys that occur during program changes or commercial breaks are reduced, making for a more consistent, comfortable sound.
AutoChron™ automatically sets the right time of day and main- tains it with digital precision through brownouts, power failures, and even Daylight Savings Time adjustments.
AutoLock™ protects young children from objectionable program- ming with V-chip technology.
Automatic Format automatically detects the incoming signal’s format and adjusts it to fill the screen. Also, your remote control has a Format button that allows you to select the picture format you want to see.
AutoPicture™ allows you to push a button and adapt your TV’s picture to various types of programs, such as sports, movies, and multimedia (games).
AutoSound™ allows you to select from three factory-set controls and a personal control that you set according to your own prefer- ences through the on-screen Sound submenu. The three factory-set controls—Voice, Music, and Theatre—enable you to tailor the TV sound to enhance the particular programming you are watching. AutoSurf™ allows you to easily switch among only the channels that are of interest to you. You can program up to 10 channels into the TV’s AutoSurf™ memory through the on-screen display. Closed Captioning allows you to read TV program dialog or voice conversations as on-screen text.
Virtual Dolby* Surround (referred to as “Dolby Virtual” in the
on-screen submenu) uses two speakers to simulate the surround effect produced by a multichannel system.
Dynamic Contrast helps you sharpen the picture quality by mak- ing the contrast between the dark and bright picture areas more noticeable as the image on screen changes.
Eye Fidelity gives you a choice between two different picture- scanning techniques—progressive and interlaced. Progressive scan doubles the number of visible picture lines per field by displaying all picture frame lines at once, eliminating line flicker. The inter- laced mode provides for a double vertical display (interlaced) of progressive scan, which reduces annoying motion artifacts. The interlaced mode also helps smooth out jagged lines sometimes seen on curved and angled surfaces.
HD DVI and Component Inputs—DVI supports High-definition Copy Protected digital video input for connection to compliant set- top boxes. The component connection (Y Pb Pr or RGB +HV) offers color purity, crisp color detail, and reduced color noise.
Hi-fi stereo system, including a built-in audio amplifier and a twin speaker system. The system enables you to hear stereo sound or Second Audio Program (SAP) bilingual broadcasts when they are available.
Home-cinema universal remote control operates your TV set and other devices that work by infrared remote control, such as VCRs, cable converter boxes, satellite receivers, and others. Note: You may need to program the remote to work with devices other than the TV. See pages 18–23.
Incredible Surround™ enhances stereo programs by making the sound broader and fuller.
Multipoint Digital Convergence (35 point) brings the accuracy of digital technology for flawless convergence of red, green, and blue tubes. This allows the viewer to adjust as preferred to create a superb picture with minimized colored haloes.
On-screen menu shows the TV controls and allows you adjust or set those controls (can be viewed in American English, French, or Spanish).
Program List displays a list of your favorite channels at the press of a button. You can scroll through the list, highlight a favorite channel, and tune to the channel.
Protective screen filter helps prevent accidental damage to the del- icate front lenticular screen. This protective filter has been formulat- ed for HD displays to give the best picture and still protect your investment.
Sleep Timer automatically turns the TV off after a set amount of time of your choice.
Standard broadcast (VHF/UHF) or cable TV (CATV) channel capability, as well as advanced capability for high-definition video. Three-line digital comb filter provides improved chroma/lumi- nance separation to the picture. Offering vertical-edge enhancement and virtually no “dot crawl,” this filter easily supports the demands of DVD players and other advanced high-resolution video sources. Two-tuner Picture-in-picture (PIP) allows you to tune to a pro- gram in the main window and scan other channels in the PIP win- dow. From a single antenna or cable input, signals are separated into two signals within the television, so no external splitter is required for PIP. The AV1, AV2, and AV3 inputs are also available as PIP sources.
