FD Trinitron WEGA Flat Screen --- FD Trinitron WEGA Flat Screen Technology is the basis of Sony's award-winning line of visually flat televisions. The FD Trinitron sets deliver incredible image accuracy, wide viewing angles, outstanding contrast, and corn

You don't have to take out a second mortgage to enjoy crisply colorful, high definition-quality video and audio with the 27-inch Sony Trinitron KD27FS170 flat CRT television. The visually flat FD Trintron tube minimizes annoying glare from light sources, enhancing contrast, and corner-to-corner detail is rendered more accurately because images aren't distorted by a curved screen. It features both built-in analog and digital tuners, which enables you to receive digital ATSC programming via terrestrial signals (over-the-air) for watching highly detailed HD broadcasts.

You'll get great picture reproduction from compatible cable/satellite set-top boxes and DVD players using the three-jack component video (Y/Pb/Pr) inputs, which provides separate connections for luminance (Y), blue color difference (PB) and red color difference (PR). This results in increased bandwidth for color information, resulting in a more accurate picture with clearer color reproduction and less bleeding than you would get with S-Video or composite (RCA yellow video plug) connections.

The KD27FS170 has a 4:3 aspect ratio and produces standard definition, 480i (interlaced) resolution, but the picture quality will be greatly enhanced using the component video connection. Also, this set provides a wide screen mode for watching digital 16:9 (widescreen) broadcasts in their original widescreen format, or you can choose the zoom function to fill the 4:3 aspect ratio screen.

The digital 3-line comb filter compares each horizontal scanning line with the lines above and below, separating black-and-white detail from color information to virtually eliminate edge crawls and rainbow effects while enhancing horizontal resolution and minimizing video noise. It also offers the following convenience features:

• Parental Control (V-Chip) helps parents monitor what their children watch on TV by establishing rating limits.
• Favorite Channel function enables you to set up and select from up to five of your favorite channels.
• Program Palette presets offer combinations of picture settings engineered to make the most of specific entertainment types (choose from Vivid, Standard, Movie and Sports).
• Front panel controls allows access to the on-screen menus without the use of a remote control.
• Front composite A/V inputs let you quickly connect video games, camcorders, or stereo/mono equipment.
• Meets Energy Star guidelines for energy efficiency.

This set has built-in stereo speakers that produce 5 watts of power per channel (for 10 watts of total power) as well as Dolby Digital for 5.1-channel surround sound. It offers the following connection options:

• Composite (RCA audio/video): 2 inputs (1 front)
• S-Video: 1 input (audio connection uses composite left/right audio jacks)
• Component (Y/Pb/Pr): 1 input (with left/right audio jacks)
• RF: 1 analog VHF/UHF and 1 digital ATSC
