37" 720p BRAVIA N Series LCD HDTV with 5.1-channel audio system

Who can blame you? Your home-theater passions are equally divided between audio and video. Good thing you're bringing the Sony KDL-37N4000 home. This 37" 720p LCD delivers both a high-performance, high-definition video experience, and a 5.1-channel surround-sound audio soundstage. Independent rear right and left-channel speakers complement the front right and left speakers, center-channel speaker, and subwoofer, all built-in to the panel. While Dolby® Digital Pro Logic II® decoding backs the surround-sound system, Sony's BRAVIA® Engine video processor and an Advanced Color Enhancer fuel the HD, 16:9 widescreen panel.

A flat panel with HD video and 5.1 channels?!!

Hey, do you remember that one time, you know, when your friend bought that really cool HDTV, but then had to go back to the store to pick out an audio system to go with it? Yeah, that was a bummer. Bummers be gone! Presenting the BRAVIA KDL37N4000 from Sony. This LCD has something most others don't — a 5.1-channel audio system to match its high definition, progressive-scan 720p display. Front left and right-channel speakers, as well as the center-channel speaker and the 20W subwoofer, are built-in to the panel, while the rear left and right-channel speakers are tall, stylish independent units that you can place at the back of your home-theater area. Oh, and the only thing that you have to worry about is getting to the best seat in the house first — a built-in digital amplifier takes care of delivering power to your audio soundstage. Also, Dolby® Digital Pro Logic II® audio decoding assures an impacting audio experience. As a matrix surround-decoding technology, Dolby Digital Pro Logic II detects the directional cues that occur naturally in stereo content and uses this information to create a five-channel surround-sound playback experience, right in your living room. The true home-theater experience requires video and audio . . . it requires the Sony KDL37N4000.

This engine runs on Ones and Zeros

Video performance is a function of more than resolution: video processing is a key element, and when it comes to processing, the KDL37N4000 uses nothing less than an engine. Sony's BRAVIA Engine™ technology is a fully digital video processor that employs a collection of unique algorithms to significantly reduce video "noise" and produce sharp, vibrant, lifelike images through which a 720p-resolution panel reaches its full potential.

Contrast — Advanced and enhanced

Your flat panel HDTV and a poorly lit alley are not the same thing. "Well, duh", you might say, but we're serious. Whereas, with good reason, you might not want to see what's lurking in a dark alley's shadows, when it comes to watching video on your HDTV, you do want to be able to see every detail (hence, high definition), even in dark or shadowy scenes. Using real-time image processing to dynamically adjust backlight levels, the KDL37N4000's Advanced Contrast Enhancer reproduces improved contrast for deep blacks in darker scenes and fine detail in shadows, revealing all the details that the director intended for you to see. Now, if the movie you're watching has a scene with a poorly lit alley . . .

Ah, BRAVIA®

As a leader in products with HDMI connectivity, Sony has created BRAVIA® Theatre Sync™ technology to go beyond simple audio and video transmission. When you combine your new KDL37N4000 with a select number of other BRAVIA audio and video products, control functions will also be transmitted via the HDMI cable. With "One Touch Play", operations that took several steps are reduced to one. Press the PLAY button on the remote, watch the audio and/or the video component(s) turn on then the BRAVIA KDL37N4000 television will turn on and switch to the correct video input...Simple...Easy...BRAVIA Theatre Sync.

Moor up to the Digital Media Port

As the demand for digital content continues to be strong, here's the challenge: how do you integrate music in various forms into a home theater system. The answer: Sony's DIGITAL MEDIA PORT (DMP). Together with one of the DMP accessories (sold separately), this proprietary interface adds networking and connectivity to the options of home theater systems and components, and connects, controls, and powers various devices, making set up easy and operation simple. The optional DMP accessories compatible with your KDL37N4000 include a PC Client device, Bluetooth® receiver and Audio Docking Stations compatible with Network Walkman™ and iPod® products. So regardless of how you store your music, Sony's DIGITAL MEDIA PORT offers an access point to integrate your portable music into a traditional home theater system.

Get tuned in

Geared up and ready for the up-and-coming digital transition (the government mandated switch to all-digital television broadcasting) your new Sony KDL37N4000 comes equipped with digital ATSC and QAM tuners. These digital tuners make receiving and enjoying digitally broadcast content — whether from the air or from cable or satellite — easy and worry-free.

ENERGY STAR of approval

Seeking to meet your demand to reduce energy use and preserve the environment, Sony has made sure that the KDL37N4000 meets the U.S. government's standard for ENERGY STAR qualification. What does the ENERGY STAR qualification mean? ENERGY STAR is a government-backed program helping businesses and individuals protect the environment through superior energy efficiency. For the family or homeowner, energy efficient choices can reduce energy consumption and expenses by up to one third while resulting in similar savings of greenhouse gas emissions, without sacrificing features, style or comfort. ENERGY STAR helps you make the energy efficient choice. When a product boasts the ENERGY STAR qualification, this means the product meets stringent government standards set by the EPA and US Department of Energy for conserving both energy and the environment. So whether you are concerned for the environment, your pocket book or both, this HDTV helps ensure both are given an easier load to bear.

HDMIncredible

Bringing you the absolute best in connectivity, Sony's KDL37N4000 features two HDMI connections. HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the only interface in consumer electronics that can carry both uncompressed high-definition (HD) video and uncompressed multi-channel audio in all HD formats including 720p, 1080i and even 1080p. Your incoming media content comes in a variety of sizes, resolutions and formats, and with that in mind, HDMI systems automatically configure to display that content in the most effective format. Since HDMI carries all channels on video and audio, there is only one cable to plug into any HDMI-enabled source and display device. No more complicated cable set-up when installing your home theater system, and no more ugly cable mess behind your components. HDMI supports standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on this single cable. Also, HDMI is fully backward-compatible with DVI. (Please note that a physical adapter, sold separately, is needed to make the conversion from HDMI to DVI.)

Avoid the 'No Wire' ire

The advent of HDMI has been monumental in the advancement of all your favorite audio and video gadgets. Don't miss out on all that your new KDL37N4000 offers — in terms of high-definition audio and video connectivity — by leaving a set of HDMI cables off the list.
