Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Zenith's B27A76R royal-oak-finished console TV boasts high-tech features in a compact, stylish package. This set offers a 27-inch screen, stereo speakers, and a host of image-improving technologies, from comb filtering to color-temperature control and black-level expansion. The set's comb filter electronically preserves the original image sharpness through controlled separation of the video signal's chrominance (color information) and luminance (picture detail information). The resultant picture can provide up to 330 lines of resolution when provided with a RF source. With an unmodulated audio-video input (such as that from a DVD player, camcorder, or VCR's component-video output), picture resolutions of higher than 500 lines can be achieved.

Black-level expansion/white-level compression automatically adjusts the contrast ratio between black and white levels to produce blacker blacks, whiter whites, and extraordinarily sharp edges with no loss of picture detail or subtle shading (on NTSC signals only). And, using the universal remote control, you can select either "warm" or "cool" presets to control the ambiance of the picture. A feature called SEQ Front Surround electronically expands the listening field, so the audio sounds more three-dimensional, with increased clarity. SEQ simulates the surround experience by adding dramatic impact to stereo programs without the use of additional surround-sound speakers.

This set offers stereo multichannel television sound (MTS), which permits broadcasters to encode stereo audio within the video portion of TV programming signals. The set's MTS decoder also offers second audio programming (or SAP), an additional channel usually used for an alternate-language track. V-chip parental control is a programmable feature that uses the U.S. standard content-advisory system to restrict viewing of specific programs or program types, helping you keep young eyes off mature content. Auto programming automatically locks all active stations into channel scan.

Product Description

The Comb Filter electronically preserves the original image sharpness through controlled video signal separation of chrominance (color information) and luminance (picture detail information). The resultant picture can provide up to 330 lines of resolution when provided with a RF source. With baseband audio/video input, picture resolution higher than 500 lines can be achieved. Using the universal remote control, users can select between "warm" or "cool" presets to control the ambiance and mood of the picture on the screen. SEQ Front Surround electronically expands the sound listening field, making the stereo audio seem even more separated. Audio is more spacious and three dimensional with increased clarity at any listening level. SEQ simulates the surround experience by adding dramatic impact to stereo programs without the use of additional surround sound speakers. Users can set up and operate their TV with English, Spanish, or French on-screen menus. The B27A76R also features EZ Function.

5.0 out of 5 stars 13 years problem free, March 4, 2004

By	Lisa (Red Wing MN) - See all my reviews

We have had our zenith since 1991 and never had a problem until recently when the color went out and a console panel needed replacing. in contrast an extra TV we purchased at a discount store completley failed in less than a year. The options oin this newer version are even better and the price is fair.

1.0 out of 5 stars Picture Tube Does Not Last More Than 5 Years, September 10, 2002

By	Willis R. Paul (Pittsburgh, PA USA) - See all my reviews

This picture tube gave up after 5 years. Not a long time for today's electronics. Apparently Zenith is known for this flaw.
