Synopsis
WEGA Engine System delivers superb picture quality from any video source by minimizing the signal deterioration caused by digital-to-analog conversion and stabilizing the signal processing. The engine features unique Sony technology including the first step in the digital processing system, Composite Component Processor, which enhances input signal-to-noise ratio by chroma decoder digital processing. Digital Reality Creation(TM) (DRC) Multifunction Technology unlike conventional line doublers, the DRC(TM) Multifunction feature replaces the signal's NTSC waveform with the HD equivalent, while doubling the number of vertical and horizontal lines. This results in four times the density for quality sources, such as DVD, satellite and digital camcorders. The Video Menu allows you to select interlaced, progressive or CineMotion output.

Amazon.com Product Description
Bring a true cinema experience into your own living room with the 55-inch Sony KDFE55A20 rear-projection LCD TV, which features a new design with a thin dark black bezel, a compact body, invisible speakers located at the bottom of the set, and Dolby Digital surround sound capability. It features built-in analog (NTSC) and HDTV digital (ATSC) tuners. (Digital high-definition programming is available via terrestrial signals (over-the-air) or unscrambled cable signals provided by your cable company.) It's also Digital Cable Ready, so you can enjoy digital cable without an additional box or remote.
The KDFE55A20 uses the 3LCD video projection system, which combines three LCD panels to produce an image for a brighter picture in well-lit rooms, intensly vibrant natural colors, and spectacular HD performance. It's driven by Sony's WEGA Engine System, which delivers superb picture quality from any video source by minimizing the signal deterioration caused by digital-to-analog conversion and stabilizing the signal processing.
The Digital Reality Creation line doubling feature replaces the signal's NTSC waveform with the HD equivalent, while doubling the number of vertical and horizontal lines. This results in four times the density for quality sources, such as DVD, satellite and digital camcorders. The CineMotion technology feature uses reverse 3-2 pull down technology, providing smoother picture movement when playing back movies or other video sources on film. Other features include the Steady Sound audio equalizer (for consistent output between programs and commercials), parental controls (V-chip), Favorites channel list, front AV Inputs for connecting camcorders or video game consoles, and an HDMI connection for uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface between the TV and any HDMI-equipped audio/video component.
It has a 24-watt stereo audio system (two 12-watt speakers) and compatibility with Dolby Digital and TruSurround XT. It features the following video and audio connections:
- Composite AV In (RCA): 3 (1 front)
- S-Video In: 3 (2 rear, 1 front)
- RF In: 1
- Component Video In: 2 (rear)
- HDMI In: 1
