Introducing the FD Trinitron Wega

Overview

This chapter describes the contents of the package in which the TV is

shipped and provides an overview of the features of your Wega TV.

Presenting the FD Trinitron Wega

The FD Trinitron Wega (pronounced VAY-GAH) is characterized by

outstanding contrast, un compromising accuracy, and corner-to-

corner detail.

You will recognize the superiority of Wega technology almost

immediately. The first thing you will probably notice is minimal glare

from the flat picture tube. This flat-screen technology improves

picture detail without distortion, unlike conventional curved screens.

The FD Trinitron delivers outstanding image detail not only a t the

screen center, but also at the corners — so you can enjoy a bright,

clear picture from any location in a room.

Package Contents Along with your new Trinitron TV, the packing box contains a

remote control and two AA (R6) batteries. These items are all you

need to set up and use the TV.

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

❑DRC® (Digital Reality Creation) Multifunction: Unlike

conventional line doublers, the DRC Mult ifunction feature

replaces the signal’s NTSC waveform with the HD equivalent,

while doubling the number of vertical and horizontal lines. This

results in four times the density for quality sources, such as DVD,

satellite, and digital camcorders. The Video Menu allo ws you to

select interlaced, progressive, or CineMotion™ output.

❑Screen Mode: Enables you to resize the picture, depending on

the signal source.

❑16:9 Enhancement : Vertical Compression

technology that maximizes picture resolution when playing

“anamorphic” or “enhanced for widescreen” sources, including

many DVDs.
