GLOSSARY

29

Auto Programming • The procedure of

adding or deleting channel numbers into

the Television’s memory circuits. In this

format the Television “remembers’’ only

the locally available or desired channel

numbers and skips over any unwanted

channel numbers.

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 con-

tent of television programs on the TV

screen. Designed to help the hearing

impaired this feature uses on-screen "text

boxes" to show dialogue and conversa-

tions while the TV program is in progress.

Side Audio/Video Inputs • Located on

the side of the TV these connectors

(phono type plug) are used for the input

of audio and video signals. Designed for

easy use with VCRs or cameras.

On Screen Displays (OSD) • Refers to

the wording or messages generated 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 adjust-

ments.

Remote Sensor Window • A window

or opening found on the Television con-

trol panel through which infrared remote

control command signals are received.

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 dis-

appear from the screen).

Surf • The action of scanning specific

channel in a limited channel list.

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 addi-

tional adapter (or balun) in order to con-

nect to the 75 Ohm Input terminals

designed into the more recent Televisions

and VCRs.

Tuner Mode • 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.)
