London, UK,  February 2010 – Toshiba UK today announces the launch of the REGZA SL Series and the REGZA WL Series, a collection of premium-quality LCD TVs packed with outstanding features. Combining advanced LED backlighting and integrated Freeview HD tuners in all models, Toshiba’s new LED range has been built to provide exceptional picture
performance in a range of sizes – with everything from 81.3cm (32”) to 139.7cm (55”) models available.
The REGZA SL Series and WL Series blends LED backlighting quality with extensive connectivity and integrated Freeview HD tuners, delivering incredible picture quality to provide a premium high definition experience – all housed in a slimmer, more refined design. Powered by Toshiba’s MetaBrain processing engine, both ranges also feature Toshiba’s newly improved Resolution+ picture enhancement technology, an advanced version of the acclaimed upscaling technology capable of upscaling any non-1080p signal, with brilliant
results.

LED technology – clarity, detail, definition
The new REGZA SL and WL Series models become the latest REGZA TVs to feature LED technology, an advanced backlighting system that guarantees new levels of picture clarity by
constantly adapting to the images on the screen. Colours are made more vibrant and contrast between light and dark is more pronounced, providing dramatically improved performance, whilst overall energy consumption is also reduced.
Freeview HD – see TV in a whole new light
Toshiba’s new LED models all feature an integrated DVB-T2 tuner, ensuring compatibility with Freeview HD broadcasts across the range. Users can watch terrestrial HD broadcasts
through their existing TV aerials and without the need for an external set-top box, completely removing the need for satellite subscriptions or dish installations. Freeview HD will provide viewers with free access to an ever-growing selection of terrestrial HD content, including the 2010 FIFA World Cup™, which is due to be broadcast in HD from June this year.
Active Vision – ultra-smooth picture performance
Both series also feature the latest versions of Toshiba’s Active Vision picture processing technology, which provides vivid images and ultra smooth refresh rates. Motion blur is drastically reduced in fast moving pictures, such as action sequences or sports, delivering more defined movement on screen, with both the REGZA SL Series (100Hz) and the
REGZA WL Series (200Hz) providing instant compatibility with Blu-ray content shot at native cinematic frame rates. Toshiba’s AutoView feature also complements Active Vision
processing on all models, ensuring the screen’s brightness is always set to the optimum level by monitoring room conditions and adjusting backlight levels to suit both the content
and immediate lighting.
Dolby Volume and SoundNavi – rich, immersive audio
Dolby Volume and new Toshiba SoundNavi technology provide impressive audio to match great images. The inclusion of Dolby Volume keeps volume levels consistent across any
channel or audio source, regardless of content, while SoundNavi technology provides even stronger sound projection, enabling integrated TV speakers to powerfully direct audio to the nearest hard surface and amplify sound in the same way as freestanding TVs.
SoundNavi also enables users to adjust the audio direction of TV speakers once wallmounted. Instead of solely directing power downwards as most TVs do, SoundNavi allows
users to change the direction of projected audio quickly and easily via the menu system. The result is a new level of audio clarity for wall-mounted panels, providing greater flexibility and better performance for those users that don’t have the benefit of an exterior sound system.
Rich connectivity
All models across both new REGZA LED panels are Windows 7 certified, with integrated DLNA technology that allows users to stream multimedia content – including music, video
and images – between their REGZA TV and compatible PCs. 4x HDMI connections offer the ability to connect to multiple devices simultaneously, with REGZA-LINK® technology
providing seamless interaction with other HDMI-CEC compatible devices from a single remote control. A USB 2.0 input also allows users to enjoy JPEG images and MP3 audio
directly from compatible USB sticks.
Power efficient and Eco-Friendly
All models in the REGZA SL Series and REGZA WL Series feature Toshiba’s energy-saving Eco Panel, which runs at a lower wattage than regular LCD panels. Eco Panel ensures that
energy consumption is kept to a minimum without effecting TV performance, and also saves consumers money on energy bills. Each model also features a Full Power Down button,
providing users with the option to completely switch the set off, rather than using standby.

London, UK,  February 2010 – Toshiba UK today announces the arrival of its new ‘everyday’ range of REGZA LCD TVs, launching two new LCD TV series packed with new features and technologies.
Designed to provide outstanding performance and standout style, the new REGZA XV series and the new REGZA RV series will be perfect for shoppers looking for fully featured sets that
offer unprecedented value. Both are powered by Toshiba’s MetaBrain processing engine and feature newly improved Resolution+ upscaling technology, which has been reengineered
to upscale any non-1080p source to provide sharper, clearer images. 1080p Full HD resolutions available across both ranges also provide stunning detail that matches each set’s highly attractive gloss black design.

Freeview HD – see terrestrial TV in a whole new light
The new REGZA RV Series launches as one of the first Toshiba LCD TVs with a DVB-T2 tuner, providing compatibility with Freeview HD and allowing users to watch terrestrial HD
broadcasts via existing TV aerials, without the need for an external set-top box. Completely removing the need for satellite subscriptions or HD dish installations, Freeview HD will
provide viewers with free access to an ever-growing selection of terrestrial HD content, including the 2010 FIFA World Cup™, which is due to be broadcast in HD when it kicks off in

Active Vision – impressive all-round picture performance
Enhanced Active Vision II picture processing technology available on the REGZA RV Series provides accurate image reproduction across all models, improving colour, detail, movement and contrast to ensure that all content looks sharp and detailed, with edge-to-edge definition. The REGZA XV Series provides ultra-smooth motion thanks to Toshiba’s Active Vision M100HD, providing instant compatibility with Blu-ray content shot at native cinematic frame rates. Toshiba’s AutoView feature also complements Active Vision processing on both series, ensuring the backlight is always set to the optimum level by monitoring room conditions and adjusting backlight brightness to suit both the content and immediate lighting – making each TV operate more efficiently and also reducing energy costs.
Unsurpassed audio
Rich sound accompanies the crisp images on both models, thanks to Dolby Volume and SoundNavi, a completely new audio feature that provides added power for wall-mounted
REGZA LCD TVs. Previously only available on high end models in the 2009 range, Dolby Volume keeps volume stable across channels and regardless of content, while new
SoundNavi technology provides stronger sound projection, enabling integrated TV speakers to powerfully direct audio to the nearest hard surface and amplify sound in the same way as freestanding TVs.
SoundNavi also enables users to adjust the audio direction of TV speakers once wallmounted. Instead of solely directing power downwards, as with most TVs, SoundNavi allows
users to change the direction of projected audio quickly and easily via the menu system. The result is a new level of audio clarity for wall-mounted panels, providing greater flexibility and better performance for those users that don’t have the benefit of an exterior sound system.

video and images – at the touch of a button2. 4x HDMI connections provide the ability to connect multiple devices simultaneously, REGZA-LINK® provides seamless interaction with
other HDMI-CEC compatible devices from a single remote control, and a USB 2.0 input also enables the playback of JPEG images and MP3 audio directly from compatible USB sticks.
