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 TVscreen. Designed to help the
hearing impaired, this feature uses on-screen "text boxes" to show dialogue
and conversations while the TVprogram is in progress.
Coaxial Cable • Asingle 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 (RCAphono 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 TVremote can operate and send com-
mands to the other product.
Incredible Stereo (orSurround) • 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 TVpicture.
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 SensorWindow • Awindow 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 SAPis the simultaneous
bilingual broadcast of TVprogram 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, TVratings) is supplied by broadcasters during the broad-
casting of programs. The TVcan 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.
