Key Technologies
BRAVIA Engine™ Video Processing System
BRAVIA® S-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.
Xross Media Bar® (XMB™ ) On-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.

DMeX Compatibility
DMeX 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). The DMX-NV1 can stream available Internet video from select content providers directly to your TV with a
broadband connection without the need for a PC.

S-Force Front Surround
S-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.
HDMI™ and PC Connectivity
Designed for maximum versatility, Sony’s BRAVIA S-Series Digital LCD TV line is equipped with a
comprehensive range of input interfaces. The HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the first industry-supported, uncompressed,
all-digital audio/video interface. HDMI technology supports enhanced or High Definition video, together with multi-channel digital
audio to provide matchless image and sound reproduction. The HDMI and PC input (HD-15-pin) offer easy connection to your PC,
allowing you to use your high resolution BRAVIA S-Series Digital TV as a computer monitor.
