Welcome 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. 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 LCD driver IC: Improves "afterimage" in motion pictures by improving the response time in the middle luminance range. Movement of images on the screen is much smoother. s Contrast Enhancer: Adaptive to brightness of scenes, automatically adjust backlight and contrast to appropriate level to improve picture reproduction in dark scenes. 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. s Wide Screen Mode: Watch conventional 4:3 aspect ratio broadcasts in wide screen (16:9) mode. s Favorite Channels: Allows you to preview and select from 16 of your favorite channels. s Steady Sound®: Equalizes volume levels so there is consistent output between programs and commercials. s Memory Stick® Viewer: Allows you to view on your TV screen digital images (JPEG) and movies (MPEG1) with background music (MP3) that are stored on Memory Stick media. s Component Video Inputs: Offers the best video quality for DVD (480p and 480i), and digital set-top box (1080i, 720p, 480p and 480i) connections. s Parental Control: V-Chip technology allows parents to block unsuitable programming from younger viewers. 14

Welcome
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:
