Features

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

 

❑ SXRDTM: SXRD is a Silicon X-tal Reflective Display technology that

 

delivers high-level resolution, greater contrast ratio, faster response

 

speed and film-like reproduction compared to other conventional

 

devices.

 

❑ 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).

 

❑ Integrated HDTV: You can watch digital televised programs and enjoy

 

the improved audio/video quality offered by these programs.

 

❑ 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.

 

❑ 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.

 

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

 

popular and useful TV functions such as external inputs (switch among

 

connected equipment), favorite channels (create a list of your favorite

 

channels), cable channels (view cable channels), antenna channels

 

(view antenna channels) or to customize your TV settings.

 

❑ Parental Control: Downloadable digital rating and V-Chip technology

 

allows parents to block unsuitable programming from younger viewers.

 

❑ Component Video Inputs: Offers a high-quality video for DVD (480p,
