Amazon.com Product Description
You don't have to take out a second mortgage to enjoy crisply colorful, high definition-quality video and audio with the 32-inch Sony Trinitron KD32FS170 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 KD32FS170 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. Sony's exclusive Clear Edge VM (velocity modulation) technology enhances higher frequency signals and sharpens the picture definition to give objects a crisp, clear edge. 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.

• 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
