Philips COLOR TV - Manual (Page 26)

G lossary of T elevision T erms
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 onscreen
"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 connection 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
generated by the television (or VCR) to help the user with specif­
ic feature controls (color adjustment, programming, etc.).
Menu • An onscreen listing of feature controls shown on the
Television screen that are made available for user adjustments.
Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) • The broadcast stan­
dard that allows for stereo sound to be transmitted with the TV
picture.
PIP (Picture In Picture) • Allows viewing of different programs
(or picture sources) on the TV screen at the same time. PIP will
also let you swap the pictures, move the PIP picture to any of the
four comers, and even freeze the picture until you shut it off.
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 num­
bers.
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 eontrol settings made by the
TV. Designed for first time setup and use. Settings for signal
connections (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
channel provided for in the Multichannel Television Sound
(MTS) broadcast 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 num­
ber 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 disap­
pear from the screen).
Twin Lead Wire • The more commonly used name for the two
strand 300 Ohm antenna wire used with many indoor and out­
door 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.
