Welcome Features 12 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 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 18 and 51.) s WEGA Engine™: Delivers superb picture quality from any video source by minimizing the signal deterioration caused by digital-toanalog conversion and stabilizing the signal processing. The WEGA 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®) 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. • New Panel Driver LSI: This drive provides a more realistic color expression by improving the color space of the original signal and color gradation. s S-master Full Digital Amplifier: Delivers superb clear dialog and reproduces the original sound quality while minimizing any sound fragmentation or jitter noise. 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. Moving pictures will appear clearer and more natural-looking.
