Adjustable Color Decoder - Accessible through the on screen display, this feature enables the viewer to customize the characteristics of the color decoder to ensure a properly balanced picture with accurate, natural skin tones.

Aspect Ratio - Refers to the shape of picture appearing on TV screen. The ratio compares the width of the picture to the height. Standard TV broadcasts and cablecasts use a 4:3 aspect ratio, while most movies are shot in an approximately 16:9 ratio.

Hi-Fi Audio - An audio signal that is more accurately reproduced for better sound quality.

Interactive Television - TV programming with interactive content and enhancements, blending traditional TV viewing with the interactivity of a personal computer.

Localize - The listener's ability to pinpoint the source of specific sounds. In home theatre, sounds for on-screen action should appear to come from the screen, while other sounds should seem to originate in a way that's consistent with the environment shown on the screen.

Screening - The process of using screens or digital methods to create halftone screen representations of continuous tone images.

Shareware Registration - Best described as "try before you buy" software. Customers can either use the program for a limited amount of time or they are able to try a "crippled" version of the product. In both cases, the customer must register (pay for) the product in order to utilize all of its features for an unlimited time. Applications that use shareware registration often require an "unlock key" after purchase.

VGA - a 5-wire standard interface, originally for computer monitors, now common for HDTV monitors. Usually the 5 wires are in one cable. The connector can be either a 15-pin connector or five BNC connectors. The signals are usually red, green, blue, horizontal sync, and vertical sync. But Y, Pr, and Pb can replace the colors.
