Easy Tune:
A system for automatically installing and storing programmes.
PAL SECAM colour coding:
PAL is used in the majority of European countries,
SECAM in France, the CIS and the majority of African countries.
The United States and Japan use a different system called NTSC.
RGB Signals:
These are separate Red, Green and Blue signals which directly drive
the red, green and blue emmitterers in the cathode ray tube.
Using these signals provides better picture quality.
S-VHS Signals:
These are 2 separate video signals from the S-VHS and HI-8 recording
standards.The luminance signals Y (black and white) and chrominance signals C
(colour) are recorded separately on the tape.This provides better picture quality
than with normal videos (VHS and 8mm), where the Y/C signals are combined to
give only one signal.
Smart controls:
Allow access to a series of picture and sound presets.
MONO sound: The sound is in mono when only one channel is transmitted.
STEREO sound:
The sound is in stereo when the left and right channels are
transmitted separately.
NICAM sound:
Process by which digital sound can be transmitted.
System:Television pictures are not broadcast in the same way in all countries.
There are different standards: BG, DK, I and L L' (France).
The SYSTEM adjustment is used to select these different standards.
16/9: Refers to the ratio between the length and height of the screen.Wide screen
televisions have a ratio of 16/9, that of your TV set is 4/3.
Warning: If you intend to watch a 4/3 ratio picture in a 16/9 ratio format, the picture
will be compressed vertically.
14/9 (only on certain models):
Intermediate format which, by enlarging the picture, reduces the size of the black
bands at the top and bottom of the pictures in cinemascope format.
