The TruFlat™Tube Difference
TruFlat models reduce the reflected image field by greater than 60% compared
with standard tubes, while allowing a totally visible screen, even when viewed
off-axis. This means placing the television in your home just became easier.
Viewers sitting off-angle now see less reflection, less glare, and all viewers have
a wider viewing angle allowing the entire screen to be seen.
Using specialized phosphors and improved circuitry, detail clarity with any TruFlat
model, particularly with DVD images, adds on-screen realism. Combined with
RCA’s new Cross-Bridge Unified Chassis designs, modern cabinets, and the latest
sound enhancement systems, TruFlat technology will amaze.
TruFlat™tube design reduces
peripheral screen reflections
by over 60%.
The TruFlat™design offers a
wider effective viewing area
from any angle.
TruFlat™Engineering Performance
RCA engineers developed an extensive
quality control and evaluation program
for the new TruFlat models. Using RCA
worldwide research and development
personnel, a new comprehensive test
program was developed for each
TruFlat model. As further support for
the quality, a limited one year parts
and labor warranty* is provided with
all TruFlat models, 20" and larger.

Convenience
Sound
• MTS Broadcast
Stereo Reception
Receive and record stereo
sound from MTS (Multichannel
Television Sound) stereo TV
broadcasts, where available.
• Low-Noise Pre-Amplifier
100% of all incoming and
outgoing audio and video must
travel through pre-amplifiers. A
poor design can cut performance
significantly, even if high-quality
camcorders and DVD equipment
are connected. Stressing
compatibility and performance,
RCA engineering design assures
both audio and video noise are
minimized. With distortion
reduced, pre-recorded movies
sound richer, clearer and more
distinctive. Visually all movies,
including home movies copied
from high-quality camcorder
tapes, play back with added
performance and quality.
• Second Audio
Program (SAP)
Decodes the second
audio program available
on some broadcasts.
• Front-Fired Speaker System
Front-fired full-range frequency
drivers provide excellent
imaging while localizing
voices at the screen.
• Sound Logic™Audio
Leveler
When turned on, eliminates
the annoying “blast” of sound
during commercial breaks.
Additionally, soft sounds
are amplified, maintaining
a constant volume level.
