Toshiba delivers in its projection televisions a truly cinematic experience you are looking for. TheaterView projection TVs bring superb picture and sound quality and cutting-edge features right into your home. Toshiba's renowned engineering expertise guarantees vivid, true-to-life video and audio.43H71 features PowerFocus HC high-contrast multi-element lens system that is designed to maximize both sharpness and brightness. Built-in high-contrast TheaterShield acrylic shield protects the screen. Unlike some standard shields, the TheaterShield incorporates a special hard coat to resist scratching. Toshiba's TheaterView TVs are designed to offer the ultimate in image quality from all video sources. Unique image-enhancing technology called Cinema Mode (3:2 pull-down detection and compensation) delivers the most realistic and detailed reconstruction of film-based (24fps) video content such as DVD movies. Flesh tone control corrects phase deficiencies in the broadcast signal. Color detail enhancement circuit improves picture detail and reduces color video noise. 43H71 also offers picture-in-picture audio output, TouchFocus auto convergence for faster, more accurate digital convergence at the touch of a button, and Dynamic Contrast feature for near film-like image quality. For more powerful and realistic home theater audio, it features Stable Sound, that automatically monitors volume levels and ensures that audio levels remain consistent during commercials or when a viewer is changing channels.

Video Features
In addition to being HDTV-ready--fully able to appreciate incoming digital signals--this set includes IDSC (Intelligent Digital Scan Conversion), which produces a high-end progressive scan picture with artificial intelligence that helps avoid artifacts and jagged lines caused by motion. IDSC also includes Advanced Video Noise Reduction, which virtually eliminates picture "snow." The set is built with Toshiba's Powerfocus Optic System, a high-quality, four-element lens system designed to maximize both sharpness and brightness, as well as TouchFocus, for easy returns to sharp, accurate focus from corner to corner of the screen. Adding to your home theater experience, this set's Cinema Mode more accurately reproduces in DVDs the film's original 24-frame material (television signals reproduce images at a faster but often incompatible frame rate), eliminating the possibility of other errors or artifacts caused by simply doubling the signal, as with conventional televisions. The TV also features two sets of ColorStream HD component video inputs.

Audio Features
This set features SRS (Sound Retrieval System) Surround Sound. Touted by Toshiba as the leading 3D Sound technology worldwide, it essentially retrieves and restores to its original depth the sound data from any stereo recording, resulting in sound that is much closer to that of a live performance. The 43H71 also sports MTS Stereo with SAP (second language decoding) and SBS (Sub Bass System), which provides a noticeable boost to the unit's low frequency. Connections include two rear A/V inputs, two rear S-video inputs, two RF inputs, front panel A/V/S inputs, one center channel audio input, one A/V output, and one variable audio output.

Other Features
This set includes dual tuner picture-in-picture, so you can watch one program while monitoring another, a backlit universal remote, and two-level mute.
