Definition: Toshiba PixelPure® Hi-Bit Digital Video Processing utilizes an amazing 12-bits for 4,096 levels of gradation, 16x that of standard 8-bit systems, for more shades of gray and levels of color, resulting in a picture that is cleaner and more natural.

Benefit: A sharper, deeper image with richer colors and a more film-like image from 480i sources.

Definition: By increasing black levels by up to 75%, this system doubles the contrast of our TALEN™ XHD models for deeper, more three-dimensional images.

Definition: ATSC is the 8VSB (8-level Vestigial Sideband Modulation) system. This is the digital TV broadcast system chosen by the ATSC (Advanced Television Systems Committee) for broadcast TV in the USA. QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) is the digital TV system chosen by the U.S. Cable TV companies for use over digital cable. Toshiba integrated digital TVs have both ATSC and QAM digital tuning capability so that you can receive terrestrial digital broadcasts as well as digital “cable-in-the-clear” broadcasts.

Definition: SRS® WOW™ technology takes the performance of the television’s existing speakers to a whole new level, offering superior sound quality with no additional speakers required. SRS WOW consists of three separate sound-expanding systems which work together to extract “buried” highs and lows. The three systems are SRS 3D, TruBass, and FOCUS. SRS 3D creates a three-dimensional sound field from just two speakers, thus giving the listener the feeling of hearing a multi-speaker surround sound system.

Benefit: Eliminates the annoyance of normal program volume being followed immediately by extremely loud commercial messages or drastic volume fluctuations while changing channels.

Definition: Toshiba Integrated HDTVs are Digital Cable Ready. They include QAM tuning and a CableCARD™ slot (formerly called POD). Insert a CableCARD™ from the local Cable MSO and the TV can receive applicable cable channels without the use of a cable box (excluding bi-directional channels/services such as Video On Demand).

Benefit: This Interactive Program Guide provides an easy to read listing of the television programs available to view or record. TV Guide On Screen™ Interactive Program Guide provides: an 8-day program listing, flexibility of recording directly to DVD or the HDD, the ability to perform keyword searches for locating favorite programs and includes the G-Link IR Blaster for controlling cable boxes. When recording television programs, the name of the show, along with the channel and date, are automatically captured.

Definition: Allows access, through your existing home network via built in RJ-45 connector, to your library of JPEG and MP3 files using only the TV’s remote control, even through your connected home theater!
