AUDIO In Jack: jack on the front of the TV/VCR/DVD which is used to
receive or record audio from another source (VCR, Camcorder, etc.).

Automatic Channel Setup: process in which the TV/VCR/DVD memo-
rizes all available TV channels. Then, when you push the CH. ▲/▼ buttons,
you only scan through channels you receive.

Auxiliary (AUX): The channel to which you set your TV/VCR/DVD during
dubbing or when viewing material that is playing on another device that is
connected to the TV/VCR/DVD (for example, a Camcorder or VCR or TV
channels from a Cable Box/Satellite Receiver). The auxiliary (or line input)
channel of the TV/VCR/DVD is always channel 00 (AUX).

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 – standard channels can be received without a Cable Box.

Brightness: adjusting increases or decreases the brightness of the color on
the screen.

COAXIAL Digital Audio Out jack: Sends digital audio to a stereo,
allowing you to adjust the volume at the stereo.

Color: adjusting pales or brightens the TV/VCR/DVD picture color.

Dolby Digital: A surround sound system that provides 5.1 channel sound as
used in movie theaters. Sound is heard through multiple channels, not just the
right and left as with standard stereo.

Dubbing: copying a videotape from a separate VCR.

HQ: high quality; a feature in the TV/VCR/DVD circuitry which provides
enhanced videotape picture detail through the TV/VCR/DVD.

OTR: One-Touch Recording; a timed recording that starts immediately and
records for 30 minutes to eight hours, whichever you specify.

Picture: adjusting increases or decreases the contrast of the picture on the
screen.

Sharpness: adjusting softens or clarifies the picture on the screen.

Tape Speeds: how fast the videotape travels during playback or recording.
The faster the tape speed, the better the recording quality will be. Faster
speeds (SP) also use more space on the tape. So, you can put more recording
on a tape if you use a slower tape speed (SLP).
SP (standard play) – fastest tape speed (recording time for a T120 tape is

approximately two hours); best picture quality.

LP (long play) – average tape speed; playback only on this TV/VCR/DVD.
SLP (super long play) – slowest tape speed (recording time for a T120

tape is approximately six hours).

Tint: adjusting changes the tints of the picture from purple to green.

VIDEO In Jack: jack on the front of the TV/VCR/DVD which is used to
receive or record video from another source (VCR, Camcorder, etc.).
