Welcome
Features Some of the features that you will enjoy with your new TV include:
s Integrated HDTV: You can watch digital television programs and
enjoy the improved audio/video quality offered by these programs.
s 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 Processor2 (CCP2), which enhances input signal to
noise ratio by chroma decoder digital processing;
• DRC
®
(Digital Reality Creation)-MF 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): Allows you to watch two
programs side by side (Twin View
™
). 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.
• 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.
s BN Smoother™: Reduces the block noise caused by digital video
encoding and decoding process.
s CineMotion
™
: Provides an optimized display by automatically
detecting film content and applying a reverse 3/2 pulldown process.

wide screen (16:9) mode.
s Favorite Channels: Allows you to preview and select from 16 of your
favorite channels.
s Steady Sound
®
