sumption.

NA, N/A

Not available, not applicable.

NC, N/C  

Not connected, no connection.

Off  

See "Standby".  

On   

A state of operation in which the unit (television) is connected to an AC power source, in active use, and capa-
ble of responding to queries or commands from a control device (IR remote control) and/or DCM.

OSD

S-Video 

Super-Video, sometimes referred to as Y/C Video, is a video signal connection method in which the luminance
(Y) signal and chrominance (C) signal are conveyed on separate signal paths in order to achieve picture quali-
ty that is significantly improved over CVBS (see CVBS).

TTL

ding to digital information (“0” or “1”), such as that in wired remote-control commands.  

YPbPr

Component video,  a video signal connection method in which the luminance (Y) signal, the Pb (blue), and Pr
