A Variety of New Wega Televisions for Every Home-Viewing Venue
Not all consumers have room for large-screen TVs in their home. The two new Wega television screen sizes, 20-inch model KV-20FV10 and 27-inch model KV-27FV15, make FD Trinitron technology available to consumers who prefer a smaller TV.
The 20-inch model will be available this October at a suggested retail price of $449.99; the 27-inch model will be available in June at a suggested retail price of $949.99.
Two new features designed to enhance the viewing experience are included in direct-view XBR models: Vertical-Compression and IR (infrared) wireless stereo headphones. Vertical-Compression is designed to maximize image resolution of letterboxed DVDs by concentrating scanning lines in the image area only, delivering 33 percent higher resolution in the viewing area. The IR wireless stereo headphones allow consumers to enjoy the convenience of wireless full stereo sound.
Also new for 1999 is the V-chip parental control feature, an aid to help parents monitor the programs their children watch. V-chip is available in most of the 1999 line in screen sizes of 13 inches and above, for a total of 33 models.
Two V-series models, the 32-inch KV-32V68 and the 35-inch KV-35V68, have no V-chip, yet sport another new feature, Gemstar's GUIDE Plus+® Gold electronic program guide (EPG). This EPG enables easy, on-screen set-up (with no monthly service charge), provides 48-hour program listings by channel/time slot, and simplifies recording of favorite TV programs with VCR Plus+® timer recording.
