Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Tap into affordable big-screen action with Panasonic's silver, 36-inch CT-36E33. A variety of input and a wealth of picture enhancements make this set convenient and easy to use, and it is high in picture quality. It's also perfectly configured for parental control of both inputs and length of use.

Velocity-scan modulation improves the definition at picture edges, creating sharper images by slowing the CRT (cathode-ray tube) beam's horizontal scanning during demanding work--say, when rendering transitions from light to dark parts of an image--and speeding it up when scanning easily rendered sections, like broad dark areas. The CT-36E33's three-line comb filter further 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).

The set's horizontal and vertical edge correction sharpens the edges of pictured objects, working in conjunction with the dynamic sharpness control and velocity modulated scan to produce clean, crisp images and reduce video noise. An onboard wideband video amplifier expands the video signal frequency response to more than 10 MHz, granting a horizontal resolution of 600 lines (maximum).

Through channel labeling, you can assign an ID of one to four characters (such as KIRO or WNET) to up to 30 different channels. This feature comes in handy when cable systems assign different channel numbers to familiar network stations. Channel banner captures information transmitted with each program and places it onscreen in a semitransparent banner. This information includes TV station identification and the V-Chip rating for the current program.

The set gives you stereo audio (with 5 watts per channel) from broadcast programming via Multi-channel Television Sound (MTS), which permits broadcasters to encode stereo audio within the video portion of TV programming signals. BBE High-Definition Sound improves speech intelligibility and restores the dynamic range of compressed musical passages.

A component-video input grants optimum connection with a compatible DVD player, while standard composite- and S-video inputs accommodate all DVD players. You can choose between two sets of rear AV inputs and a set of front AV inputs for extra convenience, as when hooking up a camcorder or gaming console. A rear audio (switchable fixed-/variable-level) output lets you hook the set up with an integrated amplifier or surround receiver.

The set also features a trilingual onscreen display (English, Spanish, French), closed-caption display, V-Chip parental control, a sleep timer, auto off, and a universal remote control.

From the Manufacturer

This Panasonic 36-inch TV delivers exceptional performance and value, and includes a host of video and audio features to enhance the home viewing experience.

Features include:

• PanaBlack fine-pitch picture tube, which counteracts distracting ambient light to produce a picture with high contrast and accurate color reproduction.
• 3-line digital comb filter, which provides an accurate means of separating the color from the black-and-white in the television signal. It works with 3 lines of picture information and is effective in removing "dot crawl" and "hanging dots" both horizontally and vertically.
• Component video input delivers outstanding resolution and color accuracy of video images from a variety of sources, including DVD players, by keeping the Y, PR, and PB of video images intact during the transmission process.
• Simulates stereo sound--even from a monaural source--by delaying the original, 2-channel sound to create a "surround" effect.
• Bass/treble/balance controls so you can adjust the sounds of your TV to your liking.
• Auto programmable scan automatically tunes all available channels in your area or cable system into memory, and then lets you add or delete the channels of your choice.
• Color temperature control allows you to adjust the white balance towards either blue (colder) or red (warmer).
• Horizontal edge correction sharpens the edges of objects in the picture. Horizontal edge correction works in conjunction with the dynamic sharpness control and velocity modulated scan to help produce clean, crisp television images and reduce the unwanted effects of video noise.
• Channel banner captures information transmitted with each program and places it onscreen in a semi-transparent banner. This information includes TV station identification and the V-chip rating for the program being transmitted.
• Channel labeling assigns an ID of 1 to 4 characters, such as 4NBC or WNET, to up to 30 channels. This feature comes in handy when cable systems assign different channel numbers to familiar network stations.

Additional features:

• 4:3 standard aspect ratio
• 600 lines of resolution
• Horizontal/vertical edge correction
• Digital velocity modulated scan
• Color temperature control
• Wideband video amplifier
• Artificial intelligence sound
• Built-in closed caption decoder
