Broadcast TV: Broadcasting video signals using high-frequency

electromagnetic waves to distribute television channels to viewers
(standard TV broadcast).

CATV: Community Antenna Television, the original name for cable
TV. A television distribution system that uses coaxial cable instead of
the traditional radio broadcasting (over-the-air) method to deliver
television, FM radio and other services to consumers.

Color Temperature: Adjusting the color temperature enables you to
set the intensity of white light. Color temperature is measured in
Kelvin (K). Higher color temperature results in a blue tint. Lower
temperature results in a red tint.

Hue: Colors in a color system are measured by hue, saturation and
luminance. Hue indicates the predominant color.

LCD (Liquid Crystal Display): A display technology that uses rod­shaped molecules (liquid crystals) that flow like liquid and bend light.

MAIN: It is the default audio signal belonging to a particular channel.

MTS(NTSC system only): Multi-channel Television Sound. Enables

that may be a different language or completely different information
such as the news.

Saturation: Chromatic purity indicating the amount of white
contained in a color. Fully saturated colors are pure colors; less
saturated colors appear as pastel shades.

S-Video: Super-video, a video cabling standard used to transmit
video by keeping brightness (Y) and color information on separate
channels. Most often used with camcorders, VCRs, and quality
receivers and amplifiers to provide sharper pictures.
