Features

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

 

❑ WEGA Engine: Delivers superb picture quality from any video source

 

by minimizing the signal deterioration caused by digital-to-analog

 

conversion and stabilizing the signal processing. This engine features

 

unique Sony technology, including:

 

• DRC® (Digital Reality Creation)-MF V1: Unlike conventional

 

line doublers, the DRC Multifunction feature replaces the signal's

 

NTSC waveform with the near-HD equivalent by digital mapping

 

processing. The DRC Palette option lets you customize the level of

 

detail (Reality) and smoothness (Clarity).

 

❑ Advanced Iris: Automatically detects the brightness of the screen. By

 

adjusting the iris shutter, this feature can provide you with the best

 

contrast and brightness from one scene to the next for your TV viewing.

 

❑ MENU: Sony’s unique user interface provides easy access to useful TV

 

functions such as external inputs (switch among connected

 

equipments), favorite channels (create a list of your favorite channels),

 

watch TV or to customize your TV settings.

 

❑ Wide Screen Mode: Allows you to watch 4:3 normal broadcasts in

 

wide screen mode (16:9 aspect ratio).

 

❑ CineMotion®: Using the reverse 3-2 pull down technology, the

 

CineMotion feature provides smoother picture movement when playing

 

back movies or other video sources on film.

unsuitable programming from younger viewers.

computer can be connected to this TV with HDMI Input (see page 30).
