BRAVIA Engine

™

Full Digital Video Processor

BRAVIA®

-Series LCD televisions use Sony's BRAVIA Engine™

full digital

video processor for crisp and clear images. Several special picture enhancement technologies are integrated into the

processor to create better gradations with more detail, enhance contrast, and dynamically improve color performance.

> Digital Noise Reduction Circuits: Reduces block noise and mosquito noise by using pixel-level filtering to reproduce a clean

and clear picture. And Motion Vector Noise Reduction reduces just the noise in the video signal for video further reducing

unwanted noise and blur artifacts.

> Digital Contrast Enhancer circuit: Improves contrast by enhancing all areas from dark to bright in parallel with texture control

providing a three dimensional picture.

> Color Reality signal processing enables the expression of all the colors of life in vivid detail for dark and bright scenes.

Details in dark areas of the picture are there, just like they are supposed to be.

Live Color Creation (featuring WCG

CCFL)

Live Color Creation is a special Sony function that achieves precise, wide color

reproduction using a combination of advanced chroma signal processing algorithms. A special wide color gamut backlight

(WCG-CCFL) is coupled with Sony’s Live Color Creation circuitry. The benefit is clear blues, natural greens and overall vibrant

colors in all scenes.

Xross Media Bar (XMB

™

)

Screen Menu System

Xross Media Bar is Sony’s Emmy Award winning on-screen navigation

that provides quick access to various set up functions and features. For instance selecting different types of media is made

fun and easy by scrolling horizontally across icons until you find the type of media you are looking for. After selecting the

media type, a list of its content appears as vertical thumbnails. Key set up menus and features work the same way. The main

benefit of the XMB™ is that users can navigate through on-screen menus without taking their eyes off of their TV.

DMe Compatibility

DMe

compatibility allows the connection and operation of a whole new category of products that is

being developed by Sony (sold separately). The first of these products is the optional BRAVIA® Internet Video Link module.

BRAVIA

® Theatre Sync

™

BRAVIA® Theatre Sync™ reduces the hassle and time consuming job of powering up, changing the

signal routing, and adjusting other functions to the simple push of one button. All you need to do is to connect BRAVIA®

Theatre Sync™ capable products to each other via one HDMI cable. The rest is easy. For instance, the One Push Play function

activates by touching the play button on the remote and BRAVIA® Theatre Sync™ takes over from there. The BRAVIA® Home

Theatre System and TV turn on. The DVD input on the BRAVIA® Theatre system and TV activates. The TV mutes. And finally the

DVD plays. There are two other BRAVIA® Theatre Sync™ functions - One-Push Theatre Settings, which provides optimal picture

and sound settings for movies and One-Push System Shut Down for turning off the entire home entertainment system.

BRAVIA

® Internet Video Link

The first DMe product to be introduced to the market is the DMX-NV1 BRAVIA® Internet

Video Link module (sold separately). BIVL, as it is affectionately called, can stream available Internet video from select content

providers directly to your TV with a broadband connection without the need for a PC.

Force

™

Front Surround

-Force™ Front Surround is a virtual surround sound experience made possible using just two

front speakers ? in select BRAVIA models. To accomplish this, Sony spent several years studying how our ears work. By

understanding exactly how we recognize the origin, direction, volume and timing differences in sound right and left ear, Sony

was able to create complex audio processing that delivers dynamic virtual surround sound without the need to bounce

sound off walls and back to the listener.
