Sony Bravia DAV-HDX576WF Home Theater System

Sony Bravia Z-Series KDL-46Z4100/S 46" 1080p LCD HDTV

Features

Screen size: This Sony flat-panel LCD television has a 46” screen, measured diagonally from corner to corner. This screen size is perfect for viewing from 5.9’ to 11.8’ away.

Resolution: A 1080p resolution means that this television has 1080 rows of pixels vertically. The more pixels a TV has, the clearer the images it can produce. The p stands for progressive scan, which means the TV refreshes every row of pixels during each cycle to produce smoother motion and sharper picture than interlaced scan.

NTSC tuner: A built-in NTSC tuner allows you to view standard analog television broadcasts through your television without a separate cable box.

ATSC tuner: The ATSC tuner means that you can enjoy over-the-air digital channels and theater quality audio (with a separate HD antenna) without the need for a digital antenna.

QAM tuner: The QAM tuner gives this TV the capability to receive free in-the-clear digital programming.

Aspect ratio: A width to height pixel ratio of 16:9 means this TV has a widescreen aspect ratio, which accurately recreates the dimensions in which HD programming and many feature films are shot.

Contrast ratio: Contrast ratio describes the difference between the darkest blacks and brightest whites a television is capable of producing. Since there is no industry standard for how contrast ratio is measured, it is only significant within a brand, not between brands. This television has a contrast ratio of 3,000:1.

Inputs: Using the 4 available HDMI inputs, you can experience high definition audio and video up to 1080p, the highest possible resolution available. The 2 component video inputs can be used for video resolution up to 1080i. Also available are 1 S-video input, 2 composite video inputs, 1 PC input, 1 USB port, and 1 RF input.

120Hz frame rate: With a 120Hz panel refresh rate, this TV doubles the amount of frames it displays from 60 frames per second to 120 frames per second for smoother, more natural motion in every video you watch. It enhances your sports, action movies, and other fast-paced entertainment.

Motionflow 120Hz Technology

Motionflow 120Hz technology doubles the number of existing frames by calculating in real time and inserting 60 entirely new frames between the original 60 frames. It uses a special Sony-developed algorithm that detects specific objects, as well as the movement of the overall scene and intelligently applies the right amount of enhancement. There’s more to the story. Unlike some other high frame rate technologies, Motionflow 120 also includes Sony’s unique Image Blur Reduction algorithm, which reduces blur from the original source image captured by a camera before applying motion enhancement technology. There are many forms of high frame rate technology in the market today, but only Motionflow 120Hz technology uses special Sony algorithms designed to intelligently detect and apply the right amount of enhancement to reduce judder and deliver a smoother, sharper picture with more natural motion of the original film.

24p True Cinema

Movies and many prime time TV programs are captured at 24 frames per second (24p). Sony’s Blu-ray Disc players wisely take advantage of this by including 24p output capability allowing a compatible connection with BRAVIA HDTVs that have this capability. The benefit—you can watch movies in natural, cinematic motion, the way they are seen at the cinema. Every single frame of the movie can now be seen without using additional video processing that converts film-based images to video reproduction. Additionally, 24p True Cinema input capability can be used along with Motionflow 120Hz technology for outstanding fluid motion beyond what you would typically see at the cinema. Once you experience 24p video it will be hard to view video without it.

DMex

Sony’s Digital Media Extender (DMex) offers a digital connection path for optional modules like the BRAVIA Internet Video Link, as well as other modules you can add in the future. Innovative DMex expansion capabilities integrate into the award-winning XMB user interface making HDTVs a powerful entertainment platform that not only meets current needs, but expands to meet tomorrow’s needs as well.

Sony Bravia DAV-HDX576WF 5.1 Dolby Home Theater System

5.1 home theater system: The DAV-HDX576WF not only gives you 5.1 surround sound, but also features a five-DVD 1080p upscaling DVD player. Courtesy of an HDMI connection, you can also watch your standard DVDs at an upconverted rate of 1080p; basically, you’ll get a much cleaner and more crisp image, when connected to a high-definition television set, and it turns your regular DVDs into High Definition.

1,000 watts of power: With all of this power, you also get the true 5.1 channel experience of Dolby Digital, where each speaker has its own dedicated audio channel. For a source that only has two channels, you can utilize Dolby Pro Logic II, which translates it into a 5.1 experience. Even better, your speakers are completely wireless, giving you more flexibility when setting up your home theater.

Multi-format: The DAV-HDX576WF also plays CD-R, CD-RW, MP3, SA-CD, DVD-RW CPRM, DVD+R/+R DL, VCD and JPEG playback.

Wireless speakers: Our S-AIR technology allows simple plug-and-play wireless benefits for your speakers. You won't have to struggle with bunches of speaker wire again.

Tuner included: Not only is an AM/FM tuner included, but a sound equalizer and iPod dock.

Connections: The DAV-HDX576WF has two analog audio inputs, an optical audio input, digital media port, composite video input, HDMI output, and Component video input.
