component video Component video is sent through three cables: two color shade (chrominance) signals and one

brightness (luminance) signal. Component video achieves greater color accuracy than composite video or S VIDEO by splitting chrominance into two separate portions.

composite video Composite video is sent through a single cable. Composite video combines the color shade (chrominance) and brightness (luminance) information into one video signal.

degauss A process that demagnetizes the metal components in the TV monitor, which eliminates image distortion that can result from magnetic charges acquired by the TV’s components. Your TV degausses automatically when it is turned on.

digital television (DTV) A new technology for transmitting and receiving broadcast television signals. DTV provides clearer resolution and improved sound quality over analog television.

National Television System A unit of the Federal Communications Commission, Washington, DC, that establishes

Committee (NTSC) television standards in the United States, such as NTSC Color, the standard used in this TV.

RF Radio Frequency. That part of the frequency spectrum in which it is possible to radiate (transmit) electromagnetic waves.

S VIDEO S VIDEO requires a single cable, which carries the brightness (luminance) and color (chrominance) signals of the picture separately. S VIDEO provides better resolution than composite video, which carries the signals together.

VHF/UHF VHF (Very High Frequency) is the part of the radio spectrum from 30 to 300 megahertz. UHF (Ultra High Frequency) is the part of the radio spectrum from 300 to 3,000 megahertz.
