Auto lntelliSens( rM Focus automatically adjusts picture conver-
gence at the push of a button. After reviewing a special test pat-
tern, optical sensors send position information to the controller,
which then corrects the pictures. Auto IntelliSense
TM
Focus
responds to the natural and man-made magnetic field conditions
where the TV is located, so you will always enjoy the best possible
picture.
Automatic Phosphor Aging Compensation (APAC) works with
the set's Automatic Format feature to prevent screen burn left by
nonmovthg images. Periodically, APAC automatically shifts your
television picture in very small increments, but in increments large
enough to blur image retention. APAC is like a screen saver for
your TV.
Active Control rM continuously measures and corrects all incoming
signals to provide the best picture settings. This feature provides a
sharp and virtually noise-free picture any time, from any NTSC
source. NTSC is the National Television Standards Committee for-
mat devised in the 1940s for TV broadcast analog video signals
(525 lines: 30 Hz).
Eye Fidelity gives you a choice between two different picture-
scanning techniques---progressive and interlaced. Progressive scan
doubles the number of visible picture lines per field by displaying
all picture frame lines at once, eliminating line flicker. The inter-
laced mode provides for a double vertical display (interlaced) of
progressive scan, which reduces annoying motion artifacts. The
Interlaced mode also helps smooth out jagged lines sometimes
seen on curved and angled surfaces.
Protective screen filter helps prevent accidental damage to the
delicate fi'ont lenticular screen. This filter has been specifically for-
mulated by Philips for HD displays to give the best possible pic-
ture and still protect your investment.

Copy Protected digital video input for connection to compliant set-
top boxes. The HD component connection (Y Pb Pr or RGB +HV0
offers color purity, crisp color detail, and reduced color noise.
3-1) Y/C Digital Comb Filter (activated when using the tuner and
composite inputs) processes the video with spatial and temporal
filtering, virtually eliminating cross-color and cross-luminance
interference, improving video resolution. This filter uses extensive
memory to analyze complete video fields, significantly reducing
"dot crawl," "hanging dots," and "barber pole artitZacts '' on the
image.
Double-window, two-tuner Picture-in-Picture (PIP) allows you
to watch two shows, side by side. No VCR is necessary for tuning
PIP pictures. Your set's two separate tuners let you select two
shows anti display both in windows of equal proportion.
Virtual Dolby* Surround (referred to as Dolby Virtual in the
on-screen submenu) uses two speakers to simulate the surround
effect produced by a multichannel system.
Incredible Surround 'rM enhances stereo programs by making the
sound broader and fuller.
Center channel input, which has standard clip-on style speaker
connectors, simplifies the connection of surround-sound equipment
for optimal home-theater enjoyment. Since it contains the dialog
information, the center channel is vitally important to the overall
performance of any large screen in a home-theater system.
Home-cinema universal remote control operates your TV set and
other devices that work by infrared remote control, such as VCRs,
cable converter boxes, satellite receivers, and others. Note: You
