Welcome

Features

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

 

s Integrated HDTV: You can watch digital television programs and

 

enjoy the improved audio/video quality offered by these programs.

 

s 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:

 

• The first step in the digital processing system, Composite

 

Component Processor2 (CCP2), which enhances input signal to

 

noise ratio by chroma decoder digital processing;

 

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) to create up to three custom

 

palettes.

 

Multi-Image Driver (MID-XU): Allows you to watch two

 

programs side by side (Twin View). You can watch pictures from

 

two different sources (1080i, 720p, 480p and 480i) simultaneously.

 

Only the left Twin View window can display 1080i, 720p, and 480p

 

sources.

 

Newly developed PDP driver IC: Achieves high-precision gamma

 

characteristics, using Sony’s unique digital technology. Fine

 

gradation of dark scenes, which is not possible with conventional

 

PDP, is realized by greatly enhancing resolution in the low brightness

 

range.

 

s BN Smoother™: Reduces the block noise caused by digital video

 

encoding and decoding process.

 

s CineMotion: Provides an optimized display by automatically

 

detecting film content and applying a reverse 3/2 pulldown process.

 

Moving pictures will appear clearer and more natural-looking.

 

s Wide Screen Mode: Watch conventional 4:3 aspect ratio broadcasts in

 

wide screen (16:9) mode.

 

s Favorite Channels: Allows you to preview and select from 16 of your

 

favorite channels.

 

s Steady Sound® : Equalizes volume levels so there is consistent output

 

between programs and commercials.

 

s Memory Stick® Viewer: Allows you to view on your TV screen digital

 

images (JPEG) and movies (MPEG1) with background music (MP3)

 

that are stored on Memory Stick media.

 

s Component Video Inputs: Offers the best video quality for DVD (480p

 

and 480i), and digital set-top box (1080i, 720p, 480p and 480i)

 

connections.
