* 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. (Also known as Coaxial Cable.)
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 pro-
gram is in progress.
Audio/Video Inputs * Located on the rear of the TV these con-
nectors (RCA phono type plug) are used for the input of audio
and video signals. Designed for use with VCRs (or other acces-
sories) in order to receive higher picture resolution and offer sound
connection options.
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 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
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 Sensor Window * A window or opening found on the
Television control panel through which infrared remote control
command 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.)
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 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.
