Community Antenna Television, the original name for cable TV. A television

casting (over-the-air) method to deliver television, FM radio, and other services to 
consumers. 

Adjusting the color temperature enables you to set the inten-

sity of white light. Color temperature is measured in Kelvin (K). Higher color tem-
peratures result in a blue tint. Lower temperatures result in a red tint. 

Colors in a color system are measured by hue, saturation and luminance. 

Hue indicates the predominant color.

Liquid Crystal Display. A display technology that uses rod-shaped molecules 

(liquid crystals) that flow like liquid and bend light. 

Multi-channel Television Sound. Enables reception of audio other than the 

primary (MAIN) audio signal. DUAL enables reception of a stereo audio signal, 
while SAP (Second Audio Program) enables reception of a separate channel that 
may be a different language or completely different information such as the news. 

An RCA or phono connector is a plug and socket for a two-wire 

(signal and ground) coaxial cable that is widely used to connect audio and video 
components. RCA sockets are commonly found at the rear of A/V equipment.

An RCA jack enables you to attach the 4-IN-1 cable to a device socket. 

Refer to “Checking Package Contents” on page 17.

Used with SAP and NTSC, enables broadcast of the main broadcast signal on 

one speaker, and the alternate audio speaker on the other speaker.

Fully saturated colors are pure colors; less saturated colors appear as pastel 
shades. 

Super-video, a video cabling standard used to transmit video by keeping 

brightness (Y) and color information (C) on separate channels. Most often used with 
camcorders, VCRs, and quality receivers and amplifiers to provide sharper pictures.

A compact disk format developed in 1993 by Sony and Philips to capture full-
