GLOSSARY
Round Cable 75� * A single solid antenna wire normally matched with a metal plug (Ftype) end connector that screws (or pushes) directly onto a 75 Ohm input found on the Television or VCR. (Also known as Coaxial Cable.) Display * An on screen message or graphic that helps the user operate and adjust his Television feature controls. See On Screen Displays (OSD). 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 adjustment, programming, etc.). Menu * An on-screen 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 �remembers�� 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 front 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 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 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.
