DESCRIPTION

Sony’s latest XBR big-screens are a practical approach to digital TV. If you’re able to receive HDTV broadcasts in your area, connecting an optional HDTV decoder box to the special Hi-Scan™ input will allow you to view high-definition broadcasts at ultra-clear 1080i. They really look spectacular on this big, bright 61" screen. Even if your area isn’t getting digital broadcasts yet, you can still enjoy near-HDTV picture quality thanks to Sony’s Digital Reality Creation (DRC) technology. This powerful digital processing creates an enhanced-resolution 960i image with four times the picture resolution of the original image! Like a "line doubler," DRC reduces the scan lines seen on conventional big-screen. With features like XD Microfocus™ CRT, five-piece Microfocus™ Lens System, Bright View™ Screen, first surface mirror and 3d digital comb filter, it’s no wonder why Sony’s have a great picture. This TV has Steady Sound™ Automatic Volume Control with BBE® Audio Enhancement, MTS Stereo with dbx noise reduction and the DAC Speaker System. Convenience features include PIP direct tuning, multi-image driver, V-chip, channel index, channel fix, video label and channel caption.
