GLOSSARY
Round Cable 75Ω * 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/or 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.
Volume Bar * When in the ON position, this feature displays an on-screen display
of the TV’s volume setting.

ate power surges. Should
this occur turn the TV back

the AC outlet. This feature is
NOT designed to prevent

covered by your warranty.

stant non-moving pattern on

ture tube damage. When not
in use, turn the video source
OFF. Regularly alternate the
use of such video sources
with normal TV viewing.
• Never use thinners, insecti-
cide sprays, or other chemi-
cals on or near the cabinet.
