Auto 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 numbers.
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.
Side AudioA^ideo Inputs • Located on the side of the TV these connectors
(phono type plug) are used for the input of audio and video signals. Designed
for easy use with VCRs or cameras.
On Screen Displays (OSD) • Refers to the wording or messages generated by the
television (or VCR) to help the user with specific feature controls (color adjust­
ment, programming, etc.).
Menu • An on-screen listing of feature controls shown on the Television screen
that are made available for user adjustments.
Quadra Surf • The feature that allows the programming of four separate Surf
lists holding up to 10 channels each.
Remote Sensor Window • A window or opening found on the Television control
panel through which infrared remote control command signals are received.
Status/Exit • Allows the user to quickly confirm what channel number is current­
ly being viewed. Status can also be used to clear the Television of on screen dis­
plays or information (rather than waiting for the displays to “time out” or auto­
matically disappear from the screen).
Surf • The action of scanning specific channel in a limited channel list.
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.
Tuner Mode • Feature control settings made by the TV. Designed for first time
set up and use. Settings for signal connections (antenna or cable TV), plus chan­
nel program memory are held in the TV's memory (even if the set is unplugged
and moved to a new location.)
