Glossary

ACI (Automatic Channel Installation): System used by some cable networks
providing automatic installation and sorting of programmes.
EXT: Designates the euroconnectors on the back of the TV set.
Menu: List of words displayed, when requested, on the screen.
Each word corresponds to an adjustment or a function of the television.
RGB: This refers to the three video signals Red, Green and Blue which directly
drive the three emitters in the cathode ray tube.
Using these signals results in better picture quality.
S-VHS signals: Two separate video signals Y/C (luminance / chrominance) from
the S-VHS and Hi-8 recording standards. The luminance signals (black and
white) and chrominance signals (colour) are recorded on the tape separately.
This gives better quality than with normal video (VHS and 8 mm), where
the Y/C signals are combined to give only one video signal.
STEREO sound: The sound is said to be stereo when the left and right
channels are transmitted separately.
MONO sound: The sound is mono when only one channel is transmitted.
NICAM sound: Process by which digital (Compact Disc quality) sound can be
transmitted.
TV system :
Television pictures are not transmitted in the same way in all countries. There
are different norms : BG, DK, I and L, L' (France). The EUROPE adjustment
of the SYSTEM choice (p. 5) gives an automatic detection, except in certain
specific cases of bad reception : then use EUR.W (BG), EUR. E (DK) or
UK (I) adjustment.
VCR: Video Cassette Recorder.
16/9: The descriptions 16/9 and 4/3 refer to the ratio between the length (l)
and the height (h) of the screen. Your TV screen has the l/h ratio 4/3. Wide
screen televisions have the ratio 16/9. The 16/9 function (p.6) enables 16/9
images to be adapted to the proportions of your 4/3 screen.
