The WEGA Engine System Sonys proprietary WEGA Engine system maintains the picture in the digital domain from the first stage to the last - end-to-end digital accuracy to deliver superb picture quality from any video source. Direct Digital Circuitry (DDC) increases the signal to noise ratio before it passes through to the DRC circuit. DRC Digital Reality Creation MultiFunction V1 Circuitry raises standard definition signals to HD quality to display clear, stable images from any video source. MID-X Multi Image Driver Circuitry scales all incoming standard and high definition signals to the configuration of the panel without degrading signal quality, and provides Twin-View picture-and-picture features. DCP Digital Component Processor fine-tunes the signal to improve overall contrast and sharpness before the image is displayed. LCD Panel Driver LSI minimizes motion blur caused the response time lag of LCD panels by improving the response time in the middle luminance range resulting in smoother images on the screen.

Make sure the image file is a JPEG (.jpg,.jpeg) file or an MPEG1 (.mpg, mpeg) file. Make sure the Memory Stick is inserted properly (see page 81). Check the Filter option setting (see page 92). Check the Select Contents setting (see page 92) and ensure that files are either in DCF directories if Digital Camera Folders is selected (see page 92), or in the currently selected folder if Select a Folder is selected (see page 92). The maximum number of files the Memory Stick Viewer can display is 1,024. JPEGs captured using a digital video camera may appear to display motion in full screen.

The Memory Stick might be locked. Unlock the Memory Stick and try rotating the image again. The file might not have information (EXIF data) that is usually generated when a digital camera records a photo. In this case, it is not possible to save the rotation. There might be insufficient space on the Memory Stick to save the rotated file. Try deleting one or more files and rotating the image again. Set the File/Information option to On or Off (see pages 87 and 90).
Press V to display the menu again. Check the TVs volume or Speaker (page 107) settings. To hear JPEG voice memo, select the Digital Camera Folders option and set the Filter option to Show All. Check that the Music option is not to set to Off (see page 91). The maximum number of MP3 files the Memory Stick Viewer can display is 128.

See your cameras instruction manual for details. Only MP3 files that are named with the file extension (.mp3) are displayed in the list. MP3 files are played in alphabetical order, according to the folder in which they are stored.

Press MUTING so that Muting disappears from the screen (see page 58). Make sure the Speaker option is set to On in the Audio menu (see page 107). (For KDL42XBR950 only) Make sure the EXT SP switch at the rear of the display unit is set to OFF. Communication problems may occur if the infrared communication equipment (e.g., infrared cordless headphones) is used near the TV. Please use headphones other than infrared cordless headphones. Also, if you use the infrared communication equipment other than infrared cordless headphones, move the infrared transceiver away from the TV until the noise is eliminated, or move the transmitter and receiver of the infrared communication equipment closer together. Increase the volume of the cable box using the cable boxs remote control. Then press FUNCTION repeatedly until the TV indicator lights up and adjust the TVs volume. The TVs audio might be set to Auto SAP or Mono, when it might be better set to Stereo. In the Audio menu (see page 106), set the MTS setting to Stereo. If already set to Stereo, switch to Mono (which may reduce background noise during weak stereo broadcasts). If the Speaker option is set to Off and the Audio Out option is set to Fixed (in order to output the sound to your audio system) use your audio receiver to adjust the sound (see page 107). Or, to use the remote control, set the Audio Out option to Variable. To turn on the TVs speakers, set the Speaker option to On (see page 107).
