Description:
Blazing forth with its huge screen, Sony style, and myriad high-tech features, the KP-57WV600 HDTV projection television is set to render vivid, smooth, and detailed images from DVD players, digital TV set-top boxes, digital satellite systems, cable television boxes--you name it. Especially nifty is the set's Memory Stick picture viewer. Just pop your Memory Stick media card into the front-panel slot (it accepts 8 to 128 MB Sticks) to view images from your digital camera or personal computer. And since not everything you watch will be high-definition in origin, Sony's DRC (Digital Reality Creation) upconverts all video signals by replacing the signal's NTSC waveform with a near-high-definition equivalent, doubling the number of vertical and horizontal lines in the process. This gives you four times the density for quality sources like DVD, satellite systems, and digital camcorders. You can select interlaced, progressive, or CineMotion (3:2 pulldown) outputs, and a feature called DRC Palette lets you customize the level of detail (Reality) and smoothness (Clarity) to create and store up to three custom palettes. Meanwhile, ClearEdge VM Velocity Modulation improves the definition at picture edges, creating sharper images by slowing the CRT (cathode-ray tube) beam's horizontal scanning during demanding work--say, when rendering transitions from light to dark parts of an image--and speeding it up when scanning easily rendered sections, like broad dark areas. A 3D Y/C digital comb filter processes RF and composite-video signals for a sharp, clean picture. This filter significantly reduces detail noise, seen as shimmering or flicker, in complex or intricate scenes. CineMotion 3:2 pulldown circuitry identifies film-based content from DVDs and reassembles the frame sequence to more accurately reproduce a movie's original 24-frame rate. This process eliminates artifacts and gives you sharp, accurate full-frame progressive images. The set's HD Detailer wideband video amplifier adds a finishing touch, ensuring nuanced rendering of high-definition and standard-definition images alike. Using Sony's multi-image driver (MIDX), the Twin View feature lets you watch two programs side by side, with the ability to zoom in one of them. You can watch pictures from two different sources (in 1080i, 720p, 480p, and 480i) simultaneously (though only the left Twin View window can display 1080i, 720p, and 480p sources). The KP-57WV600 is loaded with connections of all stripes, including a DVI-HDTV (Digital Visual Interface) input, which channels a pure, uncompressed video connection with your DTV receiver or set-top box. The set also offers two HD component-video inputs and several composite- and S-video connections to accommodate all your home-video components. A set of audio/video outputs (composite-video with one fixed- and one fixed-/variable-level audio) facilitates hookup with an AV receiver and speaker system or other external component. For audio, the KP-57WV600 offers TruSurround, which simulates an enveloping, surround-sound experience right from the set's two speakers, while Steady Sound maintains television volume within a preset range regardless of the source signal--perfect for minimizing abrupt level switches between programs and commercials. Other features include scrolling index (which lets you preview and select programs from scrolling representative images), favorite channels (from which you can preview and select from among eight of your favorite TV stations), and V-Chip parental control (which lets you block unsuitable programming from younger viewers).
