Introduction

Key Features Overview

Your TV is equipped with features that will add to your TV viewing experience. The following information summarizes a
few of these features. Chapter 3 provides more information about the rest of the TV'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 (terrestrial, 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 then conventional CRTs
(cathode ray tubes). These tubes creates brilliant, lifelike fidelity. The AVR 4 lens system is designed to complement the
CRTs providing accurate colors and razor sharp focus everywhere on 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.
PIP (Picture-In-Picture) and POP (Picture-Outside-Picture)
Description: PIP lets you watch two channels at one time – one channel on the main screen and the other in a smaller
window. POP also lets you watch two channels at one time – one channel on the left side of the screen (the main picture)
and the other on the right.
Requirements: Press the PIP button to bring up the PIP window. Press again to bring up POP. Chapter 3 has detailed
instructions on how to use the PIP and POP features.
Note: PIP and POP are not available for DVI or component video sources (CMP1 or CMP2).
V-Chip: Parental Controls (for the U.S. and Canada)
Description: You can block programs and movies by content, age-based ratings, and/or movie ratings.
Requirements:
• Set up the Parental Control menu in the TV's main menu (Chapter 3 has details).
• The broadcasters must use the rating system when they send the program to your TV in order for your TV to block the
program.
• Parental controls must be locked for these settings to take affect.
