GLOSSARY TO TELEVISION TERMS
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 acces-
sories) 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.
Onscreen Displays (OSD) • Refers to the wording or messages gen-
erated by the television (or VCR) to help the user with specific fea-
ture 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 standard
that allows for stereo sound to be transmitted with the TV picture.
Programming • The procedure of adding or deleting channel num-
bers into the Television’s memory circuits. In this way the
Television “remembers’’ only the locally available or desired chan-
nel 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 setup 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.)
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 number
is currently being viewed. Status can also be used to clear the
Television of onscreen 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.
