Coaxial Cable *Asingle 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.
Display * An on screen message or graphics that help 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 televi-
sion (or VCR) to help the user with specific feature controls (color adjustment, program-
ming, 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 charnel numbers into the Television's
memory circuits. In this way the Television "remembers" ordy 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.
Status * Allows the use[ 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 rrtany 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.
