The PC 1 series are the world's first TVs to integrate a stand-by rechargeable battery, a useful innovation in areas where power supply can be uncertain.

All models are designed to reduce running costs by lowering power consumption. A key aspect of this is "AutoView", which monitors room brightness and adjusts the backlight and various picture parameters accordingly. It also continually analyzes image lightness and darkness, adjusting it to maintain maximum contrast.

The new 55-inch and 46-inch Full HD TVs feature high-contrast Edge LED backlight panels, 3D Resolution+ - the upscaling technology for 2D and for 3D images.

With the brilliant Edge LED backlight panel, which offers a dynamic contrast of 7,000,000:1, 200Hz motion-enhancement technology, and ClearScan 200 Pro, the WL700 series offers bright, clear pictures free of motion blur. At only 29mm thick, the WL700 series feature an integrated sub-woofer that adds body to bass that provides a natural and vibrant sound.

 The integrated *Audyssey EQ® provides clear, accurate and natural sound right out of the box. Together, these technologies ensure an audio experience as rich and satisfying as the video. The WL700 series also features "AutoView" technology for best image results irrespective of the room environment, the "Auto Signal Booster" to improve the sensitivity of weak signals and Toshiba's "Meta-Brain Premium" to deliver high-end image processing. WL700 series are available in two sizes, 55-inches & 46-inches that offer 200Hz frame rates.

Toshiba & Sachin in Power TV initiative Toshiba has teamed up with its brand ambassador in India, cricketing legend Sachin Tendulkar; to bring Power TV to children who otherwise might not have the opportunity to experience the visual medium. Toshiba's philosophy is summed up in its corporate slogan: "Committed to People, Committed to the Future. TOSHIBA.

" The Company emphasizes management grounded in corporate social responsibility (CSR) and that promotes respect for people, innovation to create value, and contributions to society. In its latest CSR initiative Toshiba will do just that, in a collaboration with Master Blaster Sachin. Sachin was as enthusiastic as Toshiba about the Power TV initiative.

 Asked to comment, he said: "As a part of their CSR initiative, Toshiba will contribute 50 Power TVs to deserving NGOs and I am so proud to team up with them in this initiative. This step taken towards the corporate social responsibility will give children the opportunity to experience the visual medium and help increase their knowledge. I hope that through this medium they will be able to nurture their ambitions and dreams.

 The project is also inspiring for me as I believe the future is in the hands of children and if we can in our own little way encourage them we would have done our bit."
