Sony KP-61V75 61 Rear Projection Color TV

Compulsive channel surfers will appreciate the favorite channel preview, which lets the user sample up to eight channels in small inset boxes without leaving the main program. The TV also includes several picture modes (vivid, standard, movie, and two custom options), color temperature adjustment (gives the picture a bluish, reddish, or neutral tint), jump channel, a sleep timer, a freeze option (perfect for capturing addresses or phone numbers), and parental control for users who want to restrict their children's viewing options.

The KP-61V75 also includes a robust audio package, with a built-in 30-watt speaker system (15 watts x 2), MTS stereo decoding, a simulated surround mode that creates a surround effect for mono broadcasts, a surround mode that works similarly for stereo feeds, and a BBE audio mode that centers the sound intensity as though users were sitting before an orchestra. Viewers can also adjust the bass, treble, and balance, or enjoy a secondary audio broadcast of the same program when available (typically in another language). The TV connects to other components through the component video input (ideal for DVD players), three S-video inputs (one front and two rear), three composite inputs (one front and two rear), and Control S, audio, and monitor outputs.
