Welcome

•DRC® (Digital Reality Creation) Multifunction 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): (Twin View™ ) Allows you to watch two programs side by side. 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.)

•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.

•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.

sWide Screen Mode: Watch conventional 4:3 aspect ratio broadcasts in wide screen (16:9) mode.

sFavorite Channels: Allows you to preview and select from eight of your favorite channels.

sSteady Sound® : Equalizes volume levels so there is consistent output between programs and commercials.

sMemory Stick® Picture Viewer: Allows you to view on your TV screen digital images that are stored on Memory Stick media.

sComponent Video Inputs: Offers the best video quality for DVD (480p, 480i), and digital set-top box (HD1080i, 720p) connections.

sHD Detailer™ : Wideband video amplifier has a high bandwidth frequency rating, which allows it to send more video information to the screen, resulting in finer picture quality, especially for HD sources.

sParental Control: V-Chip technology allows parents to block unsuitable programming from younger viewers.

sDigital Visual Interface (DVI-HDTV): Can accommodate a copy- protected digital connection (HDCP*) to other devices (such as digital

set-top boxes) that have compatible interfaces. The DVI-HDTV input terminal is compliant with the EIA-861 standard and is not intended for use with personal computers.
