Aspect Ratio * The proportions of a rectangular display screen. NTSC
television has a 4:3 ratio; HDTV is 16:9.
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 connection options.
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.
Display * An on screen message or graphics that help the user operate and
adjust TV feature controls. See On Screen Displays (OSD).
HDTV * High Definition Television which offers approximately twice the
vertical/horizontal resolution of NTSC video, and sound quality
approaching that of compact disc. (Usually taken to mean a picture of 1920
x 1080 pixels in a 16:9 aspect ratio.)
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.
LED * Light Emitting Diode or indicator.
Menu * An on-screen listing of feature controls shown on the TV 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.
NTSC * National Television Standards Committee format devised for TV
broadcasting signals in the 1940s (525 lines; 30Hz.)
On Screen Displays (OSD) * Refers to the wording or messages
generated by the TV to help the user with specific feature controls (color
adjustment, programming, etc.).
Picture -In-Picture (PIP) * Term used when two pictures are shown on
the TV screen at the same time. The smaller PIP picture is supplied by a
VCR (or other tuner/video playback source). The PIP picture can also be
moved and swapped with the TV's main screen picture.
Programming * The procedure of adding or deleting channel numbers
into the TV’s memory circuits. In this way the TV “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 TV control
panel through which infrared remote control command signals are
received.
RGB * Red, Green, Blue color component inputs used for connection
purposes with personal computers (PCs) and other high definition video
devices.
RF * Radio Frequency or modulated signal design used as the carrier for
television broadcasts.
Second Audio Program (SAP) * Another or additional audio channel
provided for in the Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) broadcast
standard. A monaural soundtrack included within the recorded or video
signal (usually containing a second language translation for the displayed
programming.)
Status * Allows the user to quickly confirm what channel number is
currently being viewed. Status can also be used to clear the TV of on-
screen displays or information (rather than waiting for the displays to
“time out” or automatically disappear from the screen).
SVGA * Super Video Graphics Array
S-Video Input * Allows direct connection of high-resolution video
sources, such as a Super VHS videocassette recorder, Laser Disc player,
etc. Provides improved picture resolution, sharpness, and clarity.
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.
Variable Audio Output * An adjustable audio output which allows for
volume variations at the source.
VGA * Video Graphics Array
