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 on-screen "text boxes" to
show dialogue and conversations while the TV program is in progress.
BNC Connector - A twist-lock connector for various types of RG-
type coaxial cables. Also referred to as Bayonet Nut Coupler.
Display - An on screen message or graphics that helps the user operate
and adjust his Television feature controls. See On Screen Displays
(OSD).
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.
Event - Defines operation of the TV control system. Each event can
be programmed for the day(s) of the week; turn ON time; turn OFF
time; and channel.
Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) - The broadcast standard that
allows for stereo sound to be transmitted with the TV picture.
On Screen Displays (OSD) - Refers to the wording or messages gen-
erated by the television (or VCR) to help the user with specific 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.
Programming - The procedure of adding or deleting channel numbers
into the Television’s memory circuits. In this way the Television “remem-
bers’’ 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 Television
control panel through which infrared remote control command signals are
received.
Second Audio Program (SAP) - Another or additional audio channel
provided for in the Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) broadcast stan-
dard. The most frequently proposed use for SAP is the simultaneous
bilingual broadcast of TV program material.
Setup Code - Special sequence of button presses used to access the
Setup Menu when the Setup Remote is not available.
Setup Remote - Remote control transmitter used by installer to set up
commercial functions and modes of operation.
Status - Allows the user to quickly confirm what channel number is cur-
rently 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 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 sys-
tems. In many cases this type of antenna wire requires an additional
adapter (or balun) in order to connect to the 75 Ohm Input terminals of
more recent Televisions and VCRs.
