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 Multifunction 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 allows you to
select interlaced, progressive, or CineMotion
™
output.
❑ Twin View
™
: Using the Multi-Image Driver (MIDX), Twin View
allows you to watch two programs side by side, with the ability
to zoom in one picture. 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.)
❑ Favorite Channels: Allows you to preview and select from eight
of your favorite channels.
❑ ClearEdge VM
™
Velocity Modulation: Sharpens picture
definition by enhancing vertical lines.
❑ Steady Sound
®
: Equalizes volume levels so there is consistent
output between programs and commercials.
❑ Memory Stick
®
Picture Viewer: Allows you to view on your TV
screen digital images that are stored on Memory Stick media.
❑ Component Video Inputs: Offers the best video quality for DVD
(480p, 480i), and digital set-top box (HD1080i, 720p) connections.
❑ HD 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.
❑ CineMotion
™
: Reverse 3-2 pulldown processing provides
optimal picture quality for film-based sources (media originally
shot in 24 frames-per-second format).
❑ 16:9 Enhancement: Vertical Compression technology that
maximizes picture resolution when playing “anamorphic” or
“enhanced for widescreen” sources, including many DVDs.
❑ Parental Control: V-Chip technology allows parents to block
unsuitable programming from younger viewers.
❑ Digital Visual Interface (DVI): 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.
*High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection
16:9 is also referred to as
widescreen format.
