GLOSSARY  
Round Cable 75* 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. (Also known as Coaxial Cable.)  
Programming * The procedure of adding or deleting channel numbers into the  
Television’s memory circuits. In this way the Television “remembers’’ only the local-  
ly available or desired channel numbers and skips over any unwanted channel num-  
bers.  
Display * An on screen message or graphics that help the user operate and adjust  
his Television feature controls. See On Screen Displays (OSD).  
Remote Sensor Window * A window or opening found on the Television control  
panel through which infrared remote control command signals are received.  
Status * Allows the user to quickly confirm what channel number is currently being  
viewed. Status can also be used to clear the Television of on screen displays or infor-  
mation (rather than waiting for the displays to “time out” or automatically disappear  
from the screen).  
Jack Panel * Refers to the area on the back of the TV cabinet where the input and  
output connections are located.  
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.).  
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.  
Menu * An on-screen listing of feature controls shown on the Television screen  
that are made available for user adjustments.
