The following information summarizes a few of these features. Chapter 4 provides more information 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: TruScan 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/DVD (off-air, DVD, satellite, and/or cable). TruScan Digital Reality Picture performance starts with signal processing. TruScan Digital Reality intelligent signal processing recognizes incoming video signals and progressively converts them to achieve optimum digital picture performance. It enhances the picture quality and makes you feel as if you're close to the real thing. It also recognizes when original film sources have been modified and automatically converts the analog frame rate back to its original format to bring out the detail -- a process commonly referred to as reverse 3:2 pulldown. AVR Picture Projection System The Accurate Visual Reality high definition picture projection system offers a brighter picture than conventional CRTs (cathode ray tubes). These tubes create brilliant, lifelike fidelity. The AVR 4 lens system is designed to complement the CRTs, providing accurate colors and razor sharp focus on every 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 the overlay of high-resolution graphics needed by some electronic program guide navigation and other 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 either progressive scan (480p) or HDTV (1080i) signals at a bandwidth of up to 1.78 Gigabits per second. SRS TruSurround XTTM and SRS Dialog ClarityTM TruSurround XT solves the problem of playing multichannel content over two speakers. It delivers a compelling, virtual surround sound experience through any internal television speakers. Dialog Clarity, a feature of TruSurround XT, makes dialog from the source material clearer. MP3 Audio Disc Playback Description: Your DVD player can play compatible MP3 audio files recorded on CD-R discs. Requirements: The discs must be recorded on compatible equipment (Chapter 3 has details) and the DVD player must be on. The On-Screen DVD Information Display Description: The Info Display is an on-screen banner that provides access to certain features while you're playing a disc. Icons represent the different features supported by your TV/DVD when in DVD mode. By selecting different Info Display icons, you can access features including Repeat, Audio, Subtitles and Camera Angle. Requirements: Put your TV/DVD in DVD mode and insert a disc into the disc tray. Once the disc starts playing, press INFO to view the Info Display. TruSurround XT, Dialog Clarity, SRS and the (o) symbol are trademarks of SRS Labs, Inc.
