) MultiFunction 2 circuitry:
Enables the digital mapping of any NTSC source (DVD, VHS, DBS,
Cable, etc.), to create a picture that is precise and finer in detail,
rivaling high definition resolution. Incoming HD signals (1080i) are
also bitmapped, utilizing Sony’s proprietary algorithm to provide a
crisp and clear picture;
