Introducing the Sony LCD TV
Features |
Some of the features that you will enjoy with your new TV include: |
|
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®) MultiFunction 2 circuitry: |
|
Enables the digital mapping of any NTSC source (DVD, VHS, |
|
DBS, Cable, etc.), to create a picture that is precise and finer in |
|
detail, rivaling high definition resolution. Incoming HD signals |
|
(1080i) are also bitmapped, utilizing Sony’s proprietary algorithm |
|
to provide a crisp and clear picture. |
|
● IFP (Image Format Processor): The Digital Texture Enhancer |
|
function of this chip provides the optimal contrast by utilizing a |
|
wide dynamic range. This chip also reduces signal noise, by using |
|
an improved motion vector algorithm, while maintaining image |
|
sharpness. |
|
Integrated HDTV: You can watch digital television programs and |
|
enjoy the improved audio/video quality offered by these programs. |
|
S-master Full Digital Amplifier: Delivers superb clear dialog and |
|
reproduces the original sound quality while minimizing any sound |
|
fragmentation or jitter noise. |
|
BN Smoother™: Reduces the block noise caused by digital video |
|
encoding and decoding process. |
|
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. |
|
Twin View®: 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. |
|
Memory Stick Viewer: Allows you to view digital photos (JPEG) and |
|
movies (MPEG1) from Memory Stick media on your TV screen. |
|
Parental Control: V-Chip technology allows parents to block |
|
unsuitable programming from younger viewers. |
|
CableCARD™ slot: Provides cable subscribers with access to digitally |
|
encrypted cable channels — without the need for a set-top box — that |
|
will enable you to receive not only standard definition but also high |
|
definition television. The CableCARD, which is provided by your cable |
16
Introducing the Sony LCD TV
TV company, is inserted into the TV’s rear panel CableCARD slot. After the service is activated with your cable TV company, the card replaces the need for a separate set-top box. (Check with your cable TV company about CableCARD service details, limitations, pricing, and availability. For more information about CableCARD in this manual, see page 57.)
Component Video Inputs: Offers the best video quality for DVD (480p, 480i) and digital set-top box (1080i, 720p, 480p, 480i) connections.
S VIDEO Inputs: Provides a high-quality image from connected equipment.
Favorite Channel Preview: Allows you to preview up to sixteen favorite channels without leaving the current channel.
Wide Screen Mode: Allows you to watch 4:3 normal broadcasts in wide screen mode (16:9 aspect ratio).
Steady Sound®: Equalizes volume levels so there is consistent output between programs and commercials.
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface): Provides an uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface between this TV and any HDMI-equipped audio/video component, such as a set-top box, DVD player, and A/V receiver. HDMI supports enhanced, or highdefinition video, plus two-channel digital audio.
i.LINK: Provides a secure digital interface to other digital home entertainment devices. i.LINK allows for the secure transfer of copyright-protected high-definition content between these devices and your TV.
Light Sensor: Allows the picture brightness level to be optimized to ambient light. The effect from the Light Sensor depends on the setting of Picture Mode and Power Saving. The factory setting is Off.
