Introduction
Key Features Overview
Your TV/DVD is equipped wi|h features that will add to your TV viewing experience. The following information
summarizes a few of these features. Chapter 4 provides more intk_rmation about the rest of the TV/DVD's features and how
to use them.
Hi-Pix Picture
Enhancement
System
The Hi-Pix Picture Enhancement System incorporates two of RCA's most advanced technologies: "lYuScan Digital Reality and
the AVR Picture Projection System. The result is the ultimate in true-to-life picture performance that provides the optimum
picture resolution from each digital source connected to your TV/1)VD (off-air, DVD, satellite, and/or cable).
TruScan Digital Reality
Picture performance starts with signal processing. TruScan Digital Realily intelligent signal processing recognizes incoming
vide() signals and progressively converts lhem to achieve optimum digital picture performance. It enhances tlle picture
quality and makes you feel as if you're close to the real thing. It also recognizes when original fihn sources have been
modified and automatically converts the analog frame rate back to its original format to bring out the detail -- a process
commonly ret_..rred to as reverse 3:2 pulldown.
AVR Picture
Projection
System
The Accurate Visual Reality high definition picture proiection sys_m o_rs a brighter picture _an conventional CRTs
(cathode ray tubes). These tubes create brilliant, lifelike fidelity'. The AVR 4 lens system is designed to complement lhe
CR'Es, providing accurate coloi=s and razor sharp focus on evely part of the screen.
DVI-HDTV
Input
Lets you connect a component with a DVI (Digital Visual Interface) output. DVI provides an uncompressed,
digital video
interface developed for high-bandwidth
digital connection. It supports lhe overlay of high-resolution graphics needed by
some electronic program guide navigation and olher interactive services. DVI, when combined with HDCP (High bandwidth
Digital Content Protection) technology', creates a protected digital connection. The DVI-HDTV connection is designed to
display eilher progressive scan (480p) or HDTV (1080i) signals at a bandwidlh of up to 1.78 Gigabits per second.
SRS TruSurround
XT TM and SRS Dialog
Clarity
TM
TmSurround XT solves the problem of playing multichannel content over two speakers. It delivers a compelling, virtual
surround sound experience through any internal television speakei=s. Dialog Clarity, a feature of TruSurround XT, makes
dialog from the source material clearer.

You may find this feature helpful if you've connected your components to an audio/video receiver (A/V receiver) or

Let's say you've connected your DVD player to your audio/video receiven You've also programmed your TV/1)VD remote

Feature eliminates the need for you to use two remolc controls and saves a breton press when
