Introducing the TV
Welcome
Thank you for purchasing this Sony’s HD LCD projection TV. This manual 
is for models KDF-E42A10 and KDF-E50A10.
Package Contents
Along with your new TV, the packing box contains a remote control and two 
AA (R6) batteries. See page 95 for the complete list of packaging contents.
Features
Some of the features that you will enjoy with your new TV include:
WEGA GATE
WEGA GATE is a new feature that allows you to 
easily navigate to the most convenient TV functions: favorite channels, 
cable channels, antenna channels, external input list or settings.
WEGA Engine: Delivers superb picture quality from any video source 
by minimizing the signal deterioration caused by digital-to-analog 
conversion and stabilizing the signal processing. This engine features 
unique Sony technology, including:
DRC
®
 (Digital Reality Creation)-MF V1: Unlike conventional 
line doublers, the DRC Multifunction feature replaces the signal's 
NTSC waveform with the near-HD equivalent by digital mapping 
processing. The DRC Palette option lets you customize the level of 
detail (Reality) and smoothness (Clarity) to create up to three 
custom palettes.
Integrated HDTV: You can watch digital television programs and 
enjoy the improved audio/video quality offered by these programs.
Wide Screen Mode: Allows you to watch 4:3 normal broadcasts in 
wide screen mode (16:9 aspect ratio).
Advanced Iris: This advanced iris shutter works automatically to open 
and close according to the incoming signal level to create brighter 
whites and better contrast in dark scenes.
CineMotion
®
: Using the reverse 3-2 pull down technology, the 
CineMotion feature provides smoother picture movement when playing 
back movies or other video sources on film.
Parental Control: V-Chip technology allows parents to block 
unsuitable programming from younger viewers.
CableCARD
 slot: Provides cable subscribers with access to digitally 
encrypted cable channels — without the need for a set-top box — that 
will enable you to receive not only standard definition but also high 
definition television. The CableCARD device, which is provided by 
your cable TV company, is inserted into the TV’s rear panel
