Sound • Broadcast Stereo with dbx5 Noise Reduction Improves the clarity and fidelity of stereo broadcasts by restoring dynamic range and suppressing unwanted noise. • Dolby Digital2 Sound technology that offers a range of digitized audio channel information in a compressed package. Dolby Digital2 provides superior audio quality to whatever system the listener is using-from mono to stereo to 5.1 channels. It delivers all the sound from all the channels that were originally recorded to the system's sound decoder, which then outputs the sound through the available speakers. • Front-Fired Speaker System Front-fired speakers offer 10 watts per channel of audio power. Provide excellent imaging while localizing voices at the screen. • SRS Focus1 Audio Technology Ingenious new technology from SRS Labs. Raises the sound stage to ear level providing more lifelike audio. Combined with SRS1 3D Sound, it creates a fully immersive "live performance" listening experience from as few as two stereo speakers. Focus1 technology is ideally suited for home applications when speakers can not be placed in optimal locations for either space or aesthetic reasons. • Second Audio Program (SAP) Decodes the second audio program available on some broadcasts. Convenience • Advanced Auto Channel Search Auto Cable/Air Switch sets tuner to cable or "off-air" frequencies during initial setup. Then system automatically scans for and locks active channels into channel memory. • Advanced Twin Tuner™ Picture-In-Picture Two built-in independent tuning systems allow both large-picture and small-picture viewing without the need for a second external video source (e.g.VCR). In addition to standard RCA PIP feature of Swap, the Twin Tuner™ PIP System also provides: -Continuous Move Permits placement of the small picture anywhere on the screen. -Commercial Skip-to-PIP This exclusive RCA feature allows the main picture to move to the PIP window simultaneously with the activation of an on-screen countdown timer. The viewer can then monitor the original program while browsing through other channels during commercial breaks. • Channel Labeling Assign on-screen characters to easily identify channels (e.g. NBC, HBO, ESPN, VH-1). • Format Control - 4:3 Centered (positions analog broadcast picture in center of screen) - 4:3 Expanded (horizontally stretches 4:3 image to fill 16:9 screen) - 16:9 Expanded (helps letterboxed material fill 16:9 screen) • On-Screen Menu System On-screen displays make it easy to adjust more picture, sound, and convenience features from either the remote control or the TV front panel buttons. • Picture Reset Instantly returns picture to factory settings for Color, Tint, Contrast, Brightness, and Sharpness. • V-Chip Parental Control Puts control back into the hands of the viewer by blocking unwanted television broadcasts with U.S. Government required circuitry. Blocks three types of programs: regular television programs, broadcast movies and unrated programs. Program rating information is sent by the broadcaster continuously during the program. The television will match program rating to user preference and block the entire program (when program is aired with the encoded signal). User preference is secured using a four-digit password. Easy-To-Navigate On-Screen DIRECTV Satellite Menu System* Interactive menus allow access to all HDTV features, all without missing your favorite program. • Interactive Channel Banner The translucent, see-through Interactive Channel Banner makes access to the key features of the System fast and easy. We've taken the most exciting features, created icons for each of them, and positioned them in the banner for direct access. • SurfGuide™ Feature The SurfGuide feature brings up seven channels of programs at a time. Surf up and down the guide, viewing the current 30-minute or up to a two-hour time window of programming. You'll never miss out on any of the action of your current show, because it stays active in the background while you explore other channels. • Information Guide Lists five different channels of programming at a glance. Details on the current highlighted program are displayed in a banner at the top of the screen. Program information changes automatically as the consumer navigates through the guide and highlights different programs. *Optional antenna dish required to receive DIRECTV® programming (sold separately).
