With Sony's exclusive X-Reality Engine, everything you watch - from HD movies to Web videos - is analyzed and selectively processed to give clean, clear, and life-like pictures.

With 24p True Cinema, your BRAVIA will automatically recognize these films and select the correct format for playback so you see and hear the film just as in the theater

- S-Master
-
S-Master Digital Amplifier produces superb accuracy, clear separation of signals, and balanced sound reproduction using a digital-to-digital process. They are designed to be highly efficient, producing minimal heat while taking up about a quarter of the space of conventional amplifiers.
Sony's S-Master accepts all digital signals in digital and cleanly amplifies the signal in "digital" without needing to convert it into analogue first. Using a simplified signal path and full digital processing, the audio signal is taken directly from DSP stage without additional D/A conversion. This keeps the purity of the digital audio signal right up to the final speaker output, reproducing a realistic sound experience just like the original recording
- S-Force Front Surround 3D
- After years invested in developing totally virtual surround sound technology, Sony has created S-Force front surround. This amazing technology utilizes a complex process of sound delay to bring a surrounding sound atmosphere to any space whatsoever from just two front speakers

- Picture-In-Picture Mode
- Watch two separate pictures from different sources on the screen at the same time. PIP allows you to view a main program as a full-screen image, while a sub-screen displays images from another channel, video source or teletext page.

- TrackID
