Features

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

 

s WEGA GATE™: WEGA GATE is a new feature that allows you to

 

easily navigate to the most convenient TV functions: favorite channels,

 

cable channels, antenna channels, external input list, viewing photo and

 

movies or settings.

 

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 Processor (CCP-X), 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.

 

s Integrated HDTV: You can watch digital television programs and

 

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

 

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

 

wide screen (16:9) mode.

 

s S-master Full Digital Amplifier: Delivers superb clear dialog and

 

reproduces the original sound quality while minimizing any sound

 

fragmentation or jitter noise.

 

s 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.

 

s Parental Control: V-Chip technology allows parents to block

 

unsuitable programming from younger viewers.
