• 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. The engine features unique Sony technology, including:
The first step in the digital processing system, Composite Component Processor2, which enhances input signal-to-noise ratio by chroma decoder digital processing.
Digital Reality Creation™ (DRC) 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.

• ATSC Integrated Tuner allows the reception of local, off-air digital broadcasts providing the viewing of free, true high-definition network programming without the addition of a set top box or a monthly fee.

• 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 provider, 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.

• Multi Image Driver (MID™ X), when used with Sony's Twin-View™ 2 Tuner Picture-in-Picture, lets you watch 2 full motion pictures side by side. Together, Twin View tuner and Sony's proprietary Multi Image Driver X circuitry allows you to view analog along side of HDTV at the same time on the same screen. Also, with MID™ X both picture images are improved to 480 progressive image quality.

• Twin View® Using Multi-Image Driver (MID™-X), Twin View allows you to watch two programs side by side with the ability to zoom in on one picture and listen to the program in the selected window. You can watch pictures from two different sources (1080i, 720p, 480p, or 480i) simultaneously.

• Wide Screen Mode allows you to watch 4:3 normal broadcasts in wide screen mode (16:9 aspect ratio).

• Favorite Channels allows you to preview and select from up to sixteen of your favorite channels.

• CineMotion® using the reverse 3-2 pull down technology, the Cinemotion feature provides smoother picture movement when playing back movies or other video sources on film.

• BN Smoother reduces the block noise caused by the digital video encoding and decoding process.

• Steady Sound® equalizes volume levels so there is consistent output between programs and commercials.

• Parental Control (V-Chip) allows parents to block unsuitable programming from younger viewers.

• Memory Stick® Enhanced Viewer allows you to view digital photos (JPEG) and movies (MPEG1) and mix in MP3 music from your Memory Stick media on your television.

• Dual Component Video Inputs achieve greater color accuracy than composite and S-Video when connecting to compatible devices.

• S-master Full Digital Amplifier Delivers superb clear dialog and reproduces the original sound quality while minimizing any sound fragmentation or jitter noise.

• Built-in Speakers combines 2 (25W) full range speakers with a subwoofer (50W) to deliver dynamic sound.

• Center Channel Input By connecting the center channel outputs from an A/V receiver with the center channel input of the TV, you can use the stereo speakers as a center speaker.

• Optical Dolby Digital Output

• HDMI Interface (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) provides an uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface between the TV and any HDMI-equipped audio/video component, such as a set-top box, DVD player, and A/V receiver. HDMI supports enhanced, or high-definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio.
