DIGITAL MEDIA PORT

Question: What’s the best way to connect portable digital audio and video devices to a BRAVIA® HDTV— Answer: Sony’s DIGITAL MEDIAL PORT connection allows the use of an optional DIGITAL MEDIA PORT adapter such as the TDM-NW1 to connect digital devices directly to select BRAVIA HDTVs. Now BRAVIA HDTVs can show photos and videos or play the music stored in select Walkman™, iPOD®, PC, mobile phones and other digital devices. Your personal digital device even recharges while connected via the optional adapters.

Advanced Contrast Enhancer (ACE)

Part of the cinematic drama in film-making comes from details found in shadows and dark areas of the picture. Sony’s Advanced Contrast Enhancer (ACE) uses real-time image processing to dynamically adjust backlight levels for improved contrast without masking details the filmmaker intended you to see. ACE delivers deep blacks in darker scenes, as well as fine details in shadows and other dark areas of the picture for a difference you can truly see.

BRAVIA® Engine™ Technology

The latest version of Sony’s respected BRAVIA Engine fully digital video processor uses a collection of unique SONY algorithms to significantly reduce noise and produce sharp, vibrant, life-like images... Dynamic Noise Reduction: Intelligently identifies and dramatically reduces noise in the signal according to the motion and brightness of each scene for clearer, crisper images. Detail Enhancement: Improved image enhancement algorithms render greater overall detail. Contrast Enhancement: Works with the Advanced Contrast Enhancer circuit to optimize the contrast for every scene to create better depth and reality. BRAVIA Engine technology optimizes the color, contrast, detail and clarity of every scene for the exceptional performance that BRAVIA HDTVs are known for.

BRAVIA® Theatre Sync™

BRAVIA Theatre Sync is based on the industry standard HDMI™-CEC function and allows your HDMI cable to do more than just transmit pure digital audio and video signals by allowing one-touch control of compatible A/V components. Functions include: ONE-PUSH PLAY, ONE-PUSH THEATRE SETTINGS and ONE-PUSH SYSTEM POWER OFF

SRS® TruSurround XT Audio Enhancement Technology

SRS TruSurround XT creates a high quality surround sound experience when watching DVD movies and programs broadcast in surround sound, all with just the two speakers inside the TV. It creates a 3D wall of sound that moves past the physical width of the TV so the listener no longer needs to sit directly in the middle of the couch to hear the best audio effect. TruSurround XT also lifts dialog out of the chaos of sound placing it front and center of the action. It also provides deep bass.

Best Purchase Ever! I have had this tv for a year and it is the best purchase that I've ever made. This is my first flat screen tv and I will never go back! November 8, 2009
excelant e i didnt have any buzzing problems with the audio like some have complained about- very good right out of the box. i think they probably didnt have the settings right. February 2, 2009
Great Value Love this tv, just what my mother wanted. Thank you Sony for a wonderful product. Would buy from again. January 1, 2009
Disappointed in audio buzzing noise I bought this model 2 days ago. This has the best viewing angles of any 26 inch LCD tv's I've seen, especially vertically. I purchased this for a bedroom and viewing ability from many different angles was a top factor and is the primary reason I chose this more expensive brand. I was very disappointed in the buzzing-hissing sound in the audio. It is very prevalent. I was going to return it today and exchange it for the same model, thinking maybe I just got a bad one. But now I've seen other reviews citing the same noticable buzzing issue so I'm not expecting better results with a different unit. Very disappointing, I would not recommend this product based on the audio buzzing. I own 3 other Sony televisions and have always felt confident in the Sony brand. December 31, 2008
