AUDIO IN/OUT Jacks: jacks located on the back of the VCR which are used to record audio from another source (IN) or to send audio to another source (OUT).

Automatic Channel Setup: process in which the VCR scans all available channels and places the ones you receive in its memo- ry. Then, when you push the CHANNEL (o/p) buttons, you only scan through channels you receive.

Bands: settings that allow you to tune channels.

•Antenna – VHF (very high frequency; channels 2-13) and UHF (ultra high frequency; channels 14-69).

•Cable – all standard channels can be received without a Cable Box/DBS.

Cable Box/DBS Output Channel: Channel 3 or 4.

Dubbing: copying a tape using a second VCR.

Frame: a single still picture.

HQ: high quality; a feature in the VCR circuitry which provides enhanced picture detail.
