Features
Flat Screen: Sony's
flat glass panel delivers images that are virtually distortion free and helps to
eliminate screen glare.
Hi-Scan 1080i Display (HDTV
Receiver Compatible): Two component video inputs allow you to connect an
optional HDTV receiver or a source with component video outputs. This television
is capable of receiving 1080i, 720p, 480p, and 480i digital TV formats.
CineMotion 3/2 Pulldown Processing:
This function 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.
16:9 Enhanced Mode
(V-Compression): This set uses a special technique that gives you
maximum picture quality when using anamorphic sources, such as some DVDs. When
using an anamorphic source, the height of each scanning line is compressed for
33% better resolution, giving you the benefit of all 480 scanning lines. This
mode can be set manually or automatically.
Digital Reality Creation
Multifunction V1: Unlike conventional line doublers, the DRC Multifunction
feature replaces the signal's NTSC waveform with the near-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 allows you to select interlaced, progressive, or CineMotion
output. The DRC Palette option lets you customize the level of detail (Reality)
and smoothness (Clarity) to create up to three custom palettes.
HD Detailer Wideband Video
Amplifier: All televisions have a video amplifier, the device that takes the
original video source and "amplifies" it to deliver a useable signal
to your television screen. The bandwidth rating of a video amplifier determines
the amount of detail that can be displayed on a television. Sony's HD Detailer
wideband video amplifier delivers great detail on even the finest images by
getting the most out of high-bandwidth sources, such as the 1080i signal
available from some set-top boxes and satellite feeds.
10-bit 3D Digital Comb Filter:
Sony's 10-bit 3D digital comb filter analyzes picture information horizontally,
vertically and over time. You will get high resolution under most picture
conditions. 10-bit signal processing renders superb gray-scale gradation,
resulting in superior picture detail.
ClearEdge VM Velocity Modulation
Scanning: This system separates the object and its background, producing
clearer edges, better picture depth and improved overall picture quality. You
can select High, Medium, Low, or Off.
Dynamic Focus Circuitry: This
Dynamic Focus Circuitry adjusts the picture during each scanning line for
consistent corner-to-corner sharpness.
Dynamic Picture Processor: The
Dynamic Picture Processor maintains image detail in the very bright and dark
areas of each scene.
Twin View: Using the Multi-Image
Driver, Twin View allows you to watch two programs side-by-side with the ability
to zoom in on one picture and listen to the program in the selected window. You
can watch pictures from two different sources (1080i, 720p, 480p, or 480i)
simultaneously. Note: Only the left Twin View window can display 1080i,
720p, and 480p sources.
Favorite Channel Preview: This
feature allows you to preview up to 8 favorite channels without leaving the
current channel.
Scrolling Channel Index System:
The system splits the screen into one main picture and four smaller pictures
that automatically scroll through all the available channels.
Freeze Function: This function
allows you to temporarily capture a program's picture. The TV switches to Twin
View mode and displays the "frozen" picture on the right, while the
current program continues on the left. This function only works in normal view
mode; if you are in Twin View mode already, it will not work.
Video Mode: You can select
Vivid, Standard, Movie, or Pro. The Vivid setting enhances picture contrast and
sharpness. The Standard setting displays a standard picture for normal viewing
environments. The Movie setting displays a finely detailed picture for low light
environments. The Pro setting displays a picture with minimum enhancements.
Steady Sound: This
feature stabilizes the volume level, preventing unwanted blasts of sound during
commercials.
Sound Effects: To enhance the
sound, you can select TruSurround, which adds a
three-dimensional sound to stereo programs, or Simulated, which adds a
surround-like effect to mono-channel programs. The sound effects can be turned
off.
Parental Control: V-Chip
technology allows you to block unsuitable programming for younger viewers.
Blocked programs are protected by a 4-digit password.
Sleep Timer: The sleep timer
switches the television off after a specified amount of time. The sleep timer
can be set to 15, 30, 45, 60, or 90 minutes.
Timers: This unit has two
timers that can be set by day, time, duration, and channel.
Memory Stick Playback (JPEG):
This television has a front-panel Memory Stick slot to let you easily view your
JPEG images. You can choose from an index of the images stored on the Memory
Stick, or you can run a slideshow of those images. You can also customize the
features of the slideshow by selecting the length of time that each image is
displayed, toggling the display of file information, and rotating each image. Note:
The TV's Memory Stick viewer is compatible with Memory Sticks up to and
including 128MB. It is not compatible with Memory Sticks that exceed 128MB.

Control
Flip/Joystick Multibrand Remote:
The supplied remote is pre-programmed to operate this unit and a number of
functions on other brands of A/V components, including VCRs, satellite
receivers, cable boxes, DVD players, and Laserdisc players. Several controls are
located under a lid that covers the top half of the remote. A joystick allows
you to move the on-screen selector, making menu navigation simple and efficient.
The jump, enter, volume, channel, and numeric keypad buttons glow in the dark
(blue).
