Aspect ratio

The ratio of image width to image height. Common motion-picture

 

ratios are 1.85:1 and 2.35:1. Television screens are usually 1.33:1 (also

HDTV (High Definition Television)

In sync

The high-resolution form of television. HDTV has 1125 lines of resolution, or more than five times the video information than that of a TV set, creating a much crisper, more detailed picture.

The Harmony 700 knows what state all of your devices are in, such as whether they are on or off and which inputs they were last using. When it loses track of this information, it becomes “out of sync”. Your remote can send commands to your devices to become “in sync” again.
