GLOSSARY TO TELEVISION TERMS

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.

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.

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

Identify* Method by which a remote control searches and finds an operating code for another product (such as a VCR or Cable Converter). Once the code has been "identified" then the TV remote can operate and send commands to the other product.

On Screen Displays (OSD) * Refers to the wording or messages gen- erated by the television (or VCR) to help the user with specific feature controls (color adjustment, programming, etc.).

Menu * An on-screen listing of feature controls shown on the Television screen that are made available for user adjustments.

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

Programming * The procedure of adding or deleting channel num- bers 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 com- mand signals are received.

Setup Mode * Automatic feature control settings made by the TV. Designed for first time set-up and use. Settings for signal connec- tions (antenna or cable TV), plus channel program memory are held in the TV's memory (even if the set is unplugged and moved to a new location.)

Second Audio Program (SAP) * Another or additional audio chan- nel provided for in the Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) broad- cast standard. The most frequently proposed use for SAP is the simultaneous bilingual broadcast of TV program material.

Status * 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 systems. 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.
