GLOSSARY TO TELEVISION TERMS

Alternate Channel • Use the A/CH button on the remote control to toggle between the last two channels viewed.

Auto Programming • When activated, this feature automatically scans for all available channels from regular antenna or cable signals and stores only active broadcast stations into the TV’s memory.

Channel Edit • Add or delete channels from the sequential tuning cycle to develop a customized list of channels you want to watch. Editing makes it easy to limit the number of channels when using the Channel +/- buttons or to expand the number of channels available to suit your preference.

Closed Caption • Broadcast standard which allows you to read the voice content of television programs on the TV screen. Designed to help the hearing impaired, this feature uses on-screen "text boxes" to show dialogue and conversations while the TV program is in progress.

Coaxial Cable • A single solid antenna wire normally matched with a metal plug (F-type) end connector that screws (or pushes) directly onto a 75 Ohm input found on the Television or VCR.

Direct Audio/Video Inputs • Located on the rear of the TV, these connec- tors (RCA phono type plug) are used for the input of audio and video sig- nals. Designed for use with VCRs (or other accessories) in order to receive higher picture resolution and offer sound connection options.

Identify • Method by which a remote control searches and finds an operat- ing code for another product (such as a VCR or Cable Converter). Once the code has been "identified," the TV remote can operate and send com- mands to the other product.

Incredible Stereo (or Surround) Pseudo-acoustic management of the audio signal produces a dramatic expansion of the wall of sound engulfing the listener and heightens overall viewing pleasure.

Menu • An on-screen listing of feature controls that are available for user adjustments.

Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) • The broadcast standard that allows for stereo sound to be transmitted with the TV picture.

On Screen Displays (OSD) • Refers to the wording or messages generat- ed by the television (or VCR) to help the user with specific feature con- trols (color adjustment, programming, etc.).

Programming • The procedure of adding or deleting channel numbers into the Television’s memory circuits. In this way, the Television “remembers’’ only the locally available or desired channel numbers and skips over any unwanted channel numbers.

Remote Sensor Window • A window or opening found on the Television control panel through which infrared remote control command signals are received.

Second Audio Program (SAP) • Another or additional audio channel provided for in the Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) broadcast stan- dard. The most frequently proposed use for SAP is the simultaneous bilingual broadcast of TV program material.

Status/Exit • Allows the user to quickly confirm what channel number is currently being viewed. Status can also be used to clear the Television of on screen displays or information (rather than waiting for the displays to “time out” or automatically disappear from the screen).

Twin Lead Wire • The more commonly used name for the two strand 300 Ohm antenna wire used with many indoor and outdoor antenna sys- tems. In many cases this type of antenna wire requires an additional adapter (or balun) in order to connect to the 75 Ohm Input terminals designed into the more recent Televisions and VCRs.

SmartLock • Allows you to block or censor channels or programming that you may find objectionable. Program advisory content data (i.e., movie ratings, TV ratings) is supplied by broadcasters during the broad- casting of programs. The TV can detect the data and block the programs if desired.

SmartClock • An accurate digital clock. By monitoring the vertical blanking interval of PBS broadcasts, TVs equipped with SmartClock can automatically set the right time of day and maintain it through brown- outs, power failures, and even Daylight Savings Time adjustments.
