Key Technologies
3LCD Chips
The 3LCD technology at the heart of Sony’s BRAVIA® televisions provide a bright picture, with high detail and natural
color. These three key benefits are immediately apparent when viewing a BRAVIA® TV. You can expect to see an incredibly detailed
picture with eye-popping colors.
picture with eye-popping colors.
Sony uses three tiny LCD chips (0.73”) with a combined resolution of over 2.76 million pixels. The light from a high output UHP lamp
shines into a filtering system that splits the beam into red, green, and blue light streams. Each color goes through its own LCD chip,
which passes or blocks the light. The three beams are then instantaneously recombined and sent to the projection lens.

BRAVIA Theatre™ Sync
BRAVIA Theatre Sync reduces the hassle and time consuming job of powering up, changing the signal
routing, and 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, if you want to play a DVD simply touch 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.

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.
