Velocity-scan modulation improves the definition at picture edges, creating sharper images by slowing the CRT (cathode-ray tube) beam's horizontal scanning during demanding work--say, when rendering transitions from light to dark parts of an image--and speeding it up when scanning easily rendered sections, like broad dark areas.
The PF2030 provides stereo audio from broadcast programming via Multi-channel Television Sound (MTS), which permits broadcasters to encode stereo audio within the video portion of TV programming signals. You can choose between two sets of rear AV inputs (one of which is S-video) and a set of side AV inputs for extra convenience when hooking up a camcorder, gaming console, or other portable device. A rear AV output lets you hook the set up with a surround receiver.
The set also features a trilingual onscreen display (English, Spanish, French), closed-caption display, V-Chip parental control, a sleep timer, channel recall, channel scan, and a universal remote control.
