SXRD™ television meets the XBR® heritage.
Since 1984, Sony has awarded the XBR® designation to televisions with our highest performance, most advanced features and most sophisticated styling. Over the years, the XBR Series has convinced even the most skeptical magazine reviewers, won over the most jaded industry professionals, and dazzled the most discriminating owners. The exalted position comes as no surprise. For decades, Sony has led not only in television, but also in professional video. For example, broadcast professionals depend on Sony monitors for critical evaluation of TV picture focus, contrast, exposure and color. Unsurpassed in the world, this expertise has always been reflected in the engineering of XBR television. Today's SXRD™ Grand WEGA™ televisions carry this proud tradition forward. If you want the inside story on what distinguishes an XBR television, you've come to the right place. Here we'll take a look at how SXRD XBR televisions deliver a High Definition experience above and beyond the ordinary.
Audio
While many owners will choose to connect their SXRD™ XBR® televisions to an external audio system, Sony builds in complete facilities for on-board sound reproduction.
- Digital amplifier. The inside of a television is hardly the ideal environment for a high fidelity amplifier. Size and heat constraints impose severe practical limits. That's why Sony adopted the use of a digital amplifier. In addition to high output and low distortion, the amplifier is amazingly space efficient and generates very little heat. The result is impressive audio performance from an all-in-one television.
- Dolby® Digital decoding. Modern digital program material, including HDTV broadcasts and DVDs, offer Dolby Digital sound tracks with rich dynamic range, low distortion and extended frequency response. These televisions include a built-in Dolby Digital decoder to reproduce these sound tracks through the built-in stereo speakers.
- SRS® TruSurround® XT audio. DVD and HDTV broadcasts include rich surround sound information, the effect of which can be lost without a full 5.1-channel speaker system. SRS TruSurround audio processing takes advantage of the psychoacoustics of head-related transfer functions to simulate the effect of surround sound even when you're only using the television's built-in stereo speakers. The latest TruSurround XT technology adds three advancements. Dialog Clarity enhances speech in surround sound programs. TruBass extends the perceived bass response beyond the physical limits of the television's speakers. Finally, WOW widens the perceived stereo soundstage.
Design
From the very first model, Sony XBR® televisions have always broken fresh ground in design. SXRD™ XBR televisions carry that tradition forward with "wing" speakers that project beyond the sides of the chassis. On the KDSR70XBR2, these speakers can be removed. This makes for more flexible installation in systems where an outboard audio system will reproduce the sound. As with all Sony projection televisions, these models are so thin that they're often mistaken for flat panels. For example, the KDS-R70XBR2 has a giant 70-inch screen (viewable area, measured diagonally). Yet it's slimmer than recent 32- inch diagonal tube televisions!
A Final Word While technical papers and mastery of specifications have their place, they're not required to appreciate the SXRD™ XBR® televisions. All you need is a good High Definition source, a comfortable chair and some time to sit back and watch. When you do, Sony's XBR technology will speak for itself.
