Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The 36-inch AV-36FA44 stereo TV--part of JVC's fashion-conscious I'Art Drape Series--is as rich in features as it is in style. From its "visible sound design" cabinet to its 16:9 raster compression mode and HyperScan channel surfing, the AV-36FA44 is a home theater treat. Black-level expansion and a Real Flat CRT with an Invar shadow mask render detailed, high-contrast images free from geometric distortion, and the set's stereo speakers are powered by a generous 7.5 watts each.

With 16:9 raster compression mode, you can watch anamorphic DVDs in their true 16:9 format--the TV uses all scan lines for the picture within the letter box area so that anamorphic widescreen DVDs display in their proper resolution. TheaterPro 6500K Color Temperature adjusts the set's temperature to the ideal color-temperature for viewing movies in a dark room. Selectable (on/off) velocity-scan modulation improves definition at picture edges, sharpening images by slowing the CRT (cathode-ray tube) beam's horizontal scanning during demanding work and speeding it up when scanning easily rendered sections.

The AV-36FA44's three-line digital comb filter enhances resolution by removing blurred edges between colors and reducing dot crawl (tiny, moving dots of color along a sharp color separation in a vertical line, as in a depiction of a character's striped t-shirt). A shadow mask is a thin sheet of perforated metal behind the screen that restricts electron flow, each hole in the sheet corresponding to a single pixel. An Invar mask uses an alloy that's especially resistant to the high temperatures generated by the electron beam, allowing in a brighter, clearer picture. An apacon circuit further enhances low-level details for greater picture sharpness.

The AV-36FA44 receives not only stereo broadcasts, but Second Audio Programming (or SAP), too, and you always have Hyper Surround to simulate surround sound from any two speakers. BBE High-Definition Sound improves speech intelligibility and restores the dynamic range of compressed musical passages.

High-end component-video inputs accept video from compatible DVD players and satellite systems, while S-video and standard RCA composite-video inputs accommodate most other video sources. The set offers a total of three audio/video inputs, one of which is built into the front panel so you can hook up a VCR, camcorder, or gaming console. A rear-panel RF input accommodates older VCRs, cable boxes, and antennas.

A multifunction timer turns the TV on and off for you when you're not home or works as an alarm clock or program reminder; a sleep timer saves energy by turning off the set after you've nodded off. Other features include an interactive plug-in menu, half-tone onscreen display, front-panel lock and V-Chip parental controls, closed captioning with text display, XDS (Extended Data Service) auto clock set with ID display, and an illuminated Super Command universal remote with DVD, TV, and VCR control ability.
