About HDR (high 
dynamic range)
HDR is a video expression which improves 
the ability to express dark places and bright 
places compared to previous video 
expressions.
About the x.v.Color
 “x.v.Color” is a promotion name given to 
the products that have the capability to 
realize a wide color space based on the 
xvYCC specifications and is a trademark 
of Sony Corporation.
 xvYCC is an international standard of the 
technical specifications of the extended-
gamut color space for video signals. The 
color gamut of xvYCC is wider than the 
one of sRGB that is used with the current 
television system.
About the simulated 
3D feature
 Use the simulated 3D function taking into 
account that the picture will provide a 
different look from the original images, 
because this function converts the video 
images.
 Note that if the unit is used for profit or for 
public viewing, displaying 2D video 
images as 3D video images by converting 
to the simulated 3D may constitute an 
infringement of the rights of authors or 
producers, which are legally protected.
