❑ 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 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
pages 17 and 43.)
❑ Wide Screen Mode: Watch conventional 4:3 aspect ratio
broadcasts in wide screen (16:9) mode.
❑ Super Fine Pitch CRT : Created especially for displaying high
resolution pictures, the new Super Fine Pitch CRT — along with a
new electron gun and high intensity luminescent phosphor —
improves image resolution, providing the highest picture quality
reproduction from corner to corner.
❑ DRC
®
(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.
❑ Scrolling Index: Lets you select programs from a series of
preview windows that scroll along the right side of the screen.
❑ 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 16 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
®
Viewer: Lets you watch digital photo (JPEG)
and movie (MPEG1) files that are stored on Memory Stick media.
