Philips LCD PROJECTOR - Manual (Page 58)

G lossary OF T erms
Baiun * An antenna adapter device used to match the end plug of
an outdoor or indoor antenna wire to the Antenna input terminal
on a Television or VCR.
Cable Converter Box* Device for receiving and decoding Cable
TV signals.
Channel Reminder * Places the channel number for the currently
viewed TV program on the Projector screen. Channel number will
remain on the screen until the Reminder feature is turned OFF.
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 his Projector feature controls. See On Screen
Displays (OSD).
Direct Audio/Video Inputs/Outputs * Located on the rear of the
Projector these connectors (RCA phono type plug) are used for the
input or output of audio and video signals.
Designed for use with VCRs (or other accessories) in order to
receive higher picture resolution and offer a variety of sound
connection options.
Focus* Adjusting the sharpness of the picture by changing the
lens setting.
LCD Liquid Crystal Display * A new type of screen display
which is used instead of the conventional cathode ray tube. In this
Projector, the picture is formed on LCD displays inside the
projection unit and then projected onto a screen like a slide or
movie, (see How Your Projector Works on page 4)
Menu * An on-screen listing of feature controls shown on the
Projection 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 picture. The
MTS system actually consists of three audio channels. Two
channels are for the stereo (right/left) signals, and a third Separate
Audio Program (SAP) channel can be used for bilingual or other
broadcast applications.
On Screen Displays (OSD) * Refers to the wording or messages
generated by the television (or VCR) to help the user with specific
feature controls (control adjustment, programming etc.)
Programming * The procedure of adding or deleting channel
numbers into the Projector’s memory circuits. In this way the
Projector ‘remembers’ only the locally available or desired channel
numbers and skips over any unwanted channel numbers.
Remote Sensor Window * A window or opening on the Projector
control panel through which infrared remote control command
signals are received.
Separate Audio Program (SAP) * A third 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 number
is currently being viewed. Status can also be used to clear the
Projector of on screen displays or information (rather than waiting
for the displays to ‘time out’ or automatically disappear from the
screen).
S-VHS or S-Video* A higher quality version of the VHS standard
for videorecorders and other devices, such as CD-I players.
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 anterma 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.
TV Bands* Two possible settings:
Antenna
This consists of two types of frequencies: VHF (Very high
Frequency) channels received by the tuner on channels 2 to 13;
UHF (Ultra High Frequency) charmels received by the timer on
channels 14 to 69.
CATV Cable TV
The second possible setting for TV band tuning. This term means
the unit is capable of receiving standard and unscrambled channels
on cable without the use of a cable decoder or converter box.
VCR (Video Cassette Recorder)* Device for playing pre-recorded
video casssette tapes. Can also be used to record pictures and sound
from an external source, such as a cable TV signal.
Zoom* Changing the size of the picture by changing the lens
settings.
