A real web experience for your TV
Experience your favorite websites on your TV with the built-in Google Chrome™ browser that’s built for speed, simplicity and
eciency. And because it features a Flash Media Player, you can enjoy endless video content with engaging interactivity.2
Google TV™ built- in with voice-search
Now the searching power of Google is built right into your TV. Craving some highlights from your team or movies starring your
favorite actor? Just speak4 or type it in and enjoy cross-search results from your cable provider, the internet, apps and even
select Dish DVR8 systems. It's all there, instantly. Best of all, Google TV uses your existing cable or satellite service, so you do not
have to switch inputs to use it.
More apps, more choices with the Google Play Store
A host of made-for-TV apps like Netix®, Pandora®, Amazon instant Video, and YouTube are pre-installed on your Google TV
right out of the box. Want more? Download an endless variety of apps from the Google Play Store™. You’ll nd video, music,
games, social networking, and news apps—just like the ones on your smartphone.2
A Remote control unlike any other
You've never seen a remote quite like this. With a large touchpad on one side and a full keyboard on the other, it's optimized
for ease of use. The clickable touchpad works just like the one on your laptop, with one-handed operation plus pinch-and-pull
for zoom control. Flip it over and you'll nd a backlit QWERTY keyboard. There's also a 3-Axis motion sensor for gaming.
Primetime- A guide that works for you
Last year, your Google TV added the TV & Movies app to help you browse 100,000+ movies and TV episodes available to
watch. Now called PrimeTime, the app makes it even easier to nd your favorite content. Easily access PrimeTime anywhere
on Google TV and browse for something new while you watch2. You can quickly ip through the best programs on live TV1,
access your favorite channels, see TV shows you recently watched, and nd other suggestions based on what you enjoy
watching.
YouTube: Now, easier to watch on Google TV
Sony and Google TV are making it easier and faster to watch YouTube on your TV. With the updated YouTube app for Android
devices and Google TV, your devices automatically pair so you can play any YouTube video5 from your smartphone or tablet
on your TV with just one button.
Goodbye wires, hello Wi-Fi®
No network cables necessary. Maximize your entertainment while reducing cable clutter and wirelessly stream beautiful, HD
video straight from the internet or to your home network2. Or if you want, you can still use a wired connection. It’s all seamless
and it’s all built-in.
