_16:9 is also referred to as

widescreen format.

Twin ViewTM: 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 eight

of your favorite channels.

ClearEdge VM TM 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 @ Picture Viewer: Allows you to view on your TV

screen digital images that are stored on Memory Stick media.

Component Video Inputs: Offers the best video quality for DVD

(480p, 480i), and digital set-top box (HD1080i, 720p) connections.

HD DetailerTM: Wideband video amplifier has a high bandwidth

frequency rating, which allows it to send more video information

to the screen, resulting in finer picture quality, especially for HD

sources.

CineMotionTM: Reverse 3-2 pulldown processing provides

optimal picture quality for film-based sources (media originally

shot in 24 frames-per-second format).

16:9 Enhancement: Vertical Compression technology that

maximizes picture resolution when playing "anamorphic" or

"enhanced for widescreen" sources, including many DVDs.

Parental Control: V-Chip technology allows parents to block

unsuitable programming from younger viewers.

Digital Visual Interface (DVI): Can accommodate a copy-

protected digital connection (HDCP*) to other devices (such as

digital set-top boxes) that have compatible interfaces. The DVI-

HDTV input terminal is compliant with the EIA-861 standard

and is not intended for use with personal computers.

Use the TV remote control to change channels coming through

the cable box to the TV's AUX input jack. (You must first program

the remote control for your specific cable box; see "Programming
