24p True Cinema mode :   24p True Cinema mode enables you to enjoy films at their intended 24 fps (frames per second) when viewed using a 24p capable output device, such as a Blu-ray Disc™ player.
S-Force® Front Surround enhancement :   S-Force® Front Surround enhancement function generates realistic, virtual three-dimensional “surround sound” from the two speakers in the TV.
Favorites function :   Favorites function features rich graphics capability that makes it easy and fun to quickly access video content.
Voice Zoom :   Voice Zoom extracts the "center" sound (where the human voice is positioned) so you can control the volume of commentators.
