Still Humming After All These Years

Mine was manufactured in March 1996, and according to the original owner was used pretty much daily. I have this beauty now, and with an HDTV Converter connected via the available composite inputs, this set still outperforms modern HDTVs on every...

Sony KV-9PT50

Great picture until it went black after 2 years. Looked inside and found it cheaply manufactured. The tag inside read Made in Tijuana, Mexico. That old sucking sound coming back to haunt us. That's all I have to say

A Great Little Television

I purchased this television in 1996 and it is still going strong six years later. Some may think that $300+ is alot to pay for a 9 inch TV but the great picture and reliability are well worth it. Only my HDTV looks better. Once, while moving I dropped...

Wonderful picture, longevity.

A bit on the pricey side.

Precisely Perfect Picture Fidelity

This is one of the finest `nine-inch' TVs from Sony. All Sony's 9inch TV sets have very sharp and crisp images. Sony's Dynamic Picture Processor and Automatic White Balance increases picture fidelity. However, the fact alone that this is a 9" inch set...

Product Specifications

Whether you are headed for the rocky mountainside for a winter getaway or the sandy beach for a summer of sun, Sony's gray KV-9PT60 9" Trinitron Portable TV should be packed with your bags. It is time to settle the dispute over TV shows by bringing the KV-9PT60 along. Featuring AC/DC Operation with a Supplied DC Cord, and a Headphone Output Jack, this little TV is packed with features. Enjoy your vacation with Sony.This television incorporates the picture tube that made Sony famous: the legendary, patented Trinitron CRT. From the inside out, it's fundamentally different from conventional color picture tubes. You get a picture that's the brighter, more dynamic and more rewarding to watch! To prevent detail from being washed out in the picture highlights - or lost in the murk of picture shadows - Sony developed Dynamic Picture circuitry. It constantly adjusts the picture brightness and contrast - tailoring the signal to the dynamic range of the picture tube and making sure you get all the detail that's coming to you! This TV features 181-channel frequency synthesis tuner that quartz-locks the channels for greater accuracy. Channel Block blocks viewing of up to two channels. Channel Caption enables you to identify Channel 2 as CBS, for example, and Channel 33 as MTV. Sleep Timer lets you fall asleep to television automatically shutting the TV off after 30, 60 or 90 minutes. Other features include Auxiliary Antenna Input and RM-Y116 Remote Commander Unit.
