A F C : Automatic Frequency Control or Automatic Fine
Tuning. An electronic circuit which constantly seeks and
automatically tunes a color (or black or white) signal to
the theoretically perfect tuning point. Sylvania's "Picture­
matic" AFC is fully transistorized . . . activated by push­
button. Once a signal is roughly tuned with the Fine tune
c o n t r o l . . . AFC is then activated to produce and hold, the
signal. If the signal is improperly tuned AFC will correct
the e r r o r . . . automatically.

BLUE G U N : The electron gun whose beam, when properly


converged, strikes only the blue phosphor dots in the color
picture tube*.

COLOR FRINGING: Extraneous colors at the boundaries of


colored or black and white areas in the picture.

COLOR K I L L E R : A circuit that cuts off the color amplifier


during black-and-white reception. If this were not done, the
color amplifier would produce colored snow (confetti) in the
black-and-white picture.

C O N F E T T I : Flecks or streaks of color caused by tube noise


in the color amplifier. Because of its colors, confetti is much
more noticeable than snow in a black-and-white picture. The
color amplifier is therefore automatically cut off during a
black-and-white program.

CONVERGENCE: The condition in a color picture tube when


the three electron beams intersect in the plane of the shadow
mask, so that all three beams strike their proper color dots
on the screen.

DEGAUSSING: The process of demagnetizing metal parts or


structures in the color picture tube. Degaussing is accom­
plished with a large-diameter coil connected to the AC line.
The same type of coil surrounds the color tube in all Sylvania
chassis and is automatically activated whenever set is
turned on (automatic degaussing circuit). (Its purpose is to
maintain proper convergence of the three color gun beams
thus assuring purity.)

111
GREEN G U N : The electron gun whose beam, when properly
converged, strikes only the green phosphor dots in the color
picture tube*.
HUE: The actual name for what is commonly called "color".
Red, green, orange, blue, yellow, etc. are hues.
PHOSPHOR-DOT SCREEN: The glass plate containing
precise, tiny dotlike deposits of phosphor. The dots are de­
posited in groups (or triads) of three, each triad containing
red, blue and green dots. The three electron guns of the color
picture tube are so converged that one gunbeam strikes only
red dots, another strikes only green, and the third strikes
only blue. Sylvania's Patented Air Spun or "dusting" method
of depositing phosphors requires less grinding or "milling" —
results in purer, less contaminated phosphors — 'brighter,
crisper pictures. (Pat. #3,025,161)
PHOSPHOR DOT T R I O : (Triad) A group of three phosphor
dots (red, blue and green). For each such group there is one
hole in the aperture plate through which the three electron
beams can pass. The intensity of the three beams can be
varied independently so that any or all of the three colors can
be combined in various proportions to produce other colors.
PRIMARY COLORS (in Color T V - Red, blue and green):
Colors which can be combined in various proportions to
produce a wide range of other colors, but which cannot them­
selves be produced by mixing other primaries. Sylvania
pioneered the rare earth, Europium activated red phosphor —
unleashed the greens and blues — resulting in visibly
brighter, more accurate color — and black and white
pictures.

P U R I T Y : The proper color T V condition when the electron


beam from the red gun strikes only red phosphor dots, the
blue beam strikes only blue dots, and the green gun only
green dots. (When the three electron guns are properly con­
verged and degaussed — proper color purity is obtained.)
RED G U N : The electron gun whose beam, when properly
converged, strikes only red phosphor dots in the color
picture tube.*
S A T U R A T I O N : The extent to which a color is undiluted by
white. High-saturation colors are deep and brilliant; low-
saturation colors are soft and pale.

SHADOW ( A P E R T U R E ) MASK: A thin metal plate precision


mounted slightly behind the phosphor-dot screen of the color
picture tube. The shadow mast contains many small openings
through which the electron beams are converged to activate
the phosphor dots.*

W H I T E : For Color T V , white is the proper mixture of red,


green and blue. In the picture this is produced by exciting
all three dots in each phosphor trio. Since the eye cannot
distinguish the individual dots, they appear white.

*COLOR BRIGHT 85* COLOR PICTURE T U B E : The tube


that revolutionized Color T V — rare earth phosphors and
Sylvania's exclusive air spun phosphor "dusting" method
achieves superb brightness, even in brightly lighted rooms.
Purer "spectrum" reds, "unleashed" blues and greens result
in better color accuracy — thus — brighter black and white
pictures as well.

* Special Sylvania Manufacturing Processes Include:


. . . Pre-Stabilized Glass Face Plate
. . . Computer Precision Alignment of Shadow Mask to
Face Plate
. . . Temperature — Compensated shadow mask
. . . Cross Hair Gun Indexing System
insuring NO COLOR SHIFT — during set warmup and
throughout the life of the tube.

*NOTE: Sylvania's parent company, GT&E, was the first to


create and produce true-to-life Rare Earth Phosphors
for Color T V picture tubes and has been granted
U. S. Patent No. 3,243,625 covering the Rare Earth
Phhospor activation principle.

ALL CHANNEL V H F / U H F T U N E R S W I T H SELF CLEANING


C O N T A C T S : Each critical tuner contact is automatically
cleaned of any corrosion as channels are changed.
PRE-SET FINE T U N I N G : Adjust each channel once for
best picture — tuner "remembers" and repeats that picture
every time.

I L L U M I N A T E D CHANNEL INDICATORS: Easy to read -


convenient.

SUPERB COLOR DECODING C I R C U I T : Proven and stable


— assuring clean, faithful color transitions.

DC VIDEO COUPLING: Special AGC circuitry that


automatically maintains correct levels of color and black and
white — assures "blackest" blacks and "whitest" whites
despite picture scene changes — no picture washouts.

A U T O M A T I C COLOR LEVEL MONITOR: A sophisticated


Sylvania circuit allows easier fine tuning of all color pictures
— holds picture under all signal conditions — minimizes
color "drift" from any cause. (Chroma AGC).

A U T O M A T I C COLOR PURIFIER (Degausser): Purifies


color tube during warm-up by electrically neutralizing stray
magnetic fields — assures perfect color always.

HORIZONTAL BLANKING C I R C U I T R Y : Eliminates an­


noying "rope" effect often seen during T V station trans­
mission.

PINCUSHION CORRECTION C I R C U I T : A Sylvania circuit


that automatically eliminates "bent or rounded" edges on
picture top or sides (Deluxe Color Bonus and Gibraltar
Chassis models only.)

PRECISION COPPER C I R C U I T R Y (on fibre-glass rein­


forced panels): Added strength — excellent electrical
stability — a reliability and uniformity not possible with other
circuitry. (Printed top and bottom service roadmap).

CIRCUIT BREAKER RESET B U T T O N : No bothersome


"fuse replacement" service calls.
SYLVANIA STEREO/HiFi EQUIPMENT
T H E LANGUAGE OF STEREO/HiFi
Glossary of terms used to describe
Stereo HiFi equipment and features

PROGRAM S O U R C E - C H A N G E R S & CARTRIDGE:

CERAMIC C A R T R I D G E : A Cartridge in which a ceramic


element, when bent by the movement of the stylus tracing
the record grooves, creates an electrical impulse. High com­
pliance (easy movement) is essential for accurate reproduction.
MAGNETIC C A R T R I D G E : A Cartridge whose needle, when
tracing the record grooves, moves 2 coils that are set between
magnets (or one magnet between 2 coils) thus creating an
electrical signal of extreme accuracy and faithfulness.
RUMBLE: A low frequency interference caused by vibrations
from the turntable or its motor.
T R A C K I N G PRESSURE: The pressure of the stylus on the
record, denoted in grams, determined by the cartridge type,
record player and installation conditions.
T U R N T A B L E : A round heavy disc turned by an electric
motor which rotates the record at given speeds.
W O W : A slow speed variation of a turntable or tape recorder.
F L U T T E R : A fast speed variation in turntable (or tape
recorder) speed which cause distortions which can be heard
thru the speaker system.
RECEIVER: A tuner, preamplifier and amplifier built on one
chassis. This integrated design permits precise matching of
all sections for best over-all performance.
T U N E R : Portion of hi-fi stereo system which receives
AM/FM/FM Stereo Broadcast signals and relays them to
the amplifier.
FLYWHEEL T U N I N G : A weighted, balanced wheel attached
to the shaft of a radio tuning knob which allows easier tuning
of desired AM or FM stations by simply "spinning" the knob.
AM (Amplitude Modulation): Varying the Amplitude of
the Radio carrier wavelength.
FM (Frequency Modulation): Modulation of a Radio carrier
wavelength by changing its frequency rather than its am­
plitude. (Resulting in "static free" signal.)
FM STEREO (Multiplex): Accepted and approved method
of broadcasting (and receiving) Stereo Signals (two channels)
on FM.
A.F.C. (Automatic Frequency Control): An FM tuner (or
radio) circuit which automatically compensates for slight
tuning errors and locks on desired frequencies when tuned.
FM Q U I E T I N G : The input signal level (usually in micro­
volts) required to make the signal and noise output of the
tuner 20 db (10 times) greater than the noise output.
FM S E N S I T I V I T Y : The measure of a tuner's ability to pick
up signal (and reject undesirable signals, noise, etc.) in­
dicated in microvolts. EXAMPLE — Signal strength of
1.8 uV or above will be received by Sylvania "Maestro"
Tuner — the lower the figure — the more sensitive the tuner.
FULL LIMITING: Most interference shows up as an am­
plitude variation of the desired FM signal. Since this ampli­
tude variation is not required to carry a modulated FM signal,
as in AM, the signal is passed to a limiter which eliminates all
amplitude variations and provides a constant noise-free
signal. Sylvania's use of IC's (Integrated Circuit) — in all
FM stereo receivers — allows a degree of limiting and relia­
bility superior to any heretofore possible.
I N T E R CHANNEL MUTING C O N T R O L : A variable control,
on Sylvania FM Stereo Tuners, which results in superior
limiting — eliminates FM stereo light "flicker" — eliminates
"noise" between stations while tuning. Although optimized
and set at the factory, it is adjustable for transmission and
reception differences of any area — any FM station.
S E L E C T I V I T Y : The tuner's ability to reject stations on fre­
quencies near the desired one being received. Sylvania's use
of ultra reliable F.E.T.'s (Field Effect Transistors) results in
excellent cross modulation rejection — eliminates strong FM
stations appearing at several points on the dial.
T A P E DECK: Tape transporting mechanism of tape recorder
including heads, drive, motion controls and pre-amp elec­
tronics for record and playback through a stereo/hi-fi
system.
T A P E CARTRIDGE P L A Y E R A N D RECORDER: An in­
creasingly popular type of instrument which plays and
records on tape in convenient cartridge form. There are no
reels to thread — cartridges come ready to plug in to special
tape player. The "Cassette" tape recorder is such an in­
strument.
T A P E I N P U T : A jack or position in the amplifier or pre-
amp of a stereo hi-fi system where a tape recorder may be
connected. The recorder may then be operated and controlled
through the larger system.
T A P E MONITOR: A sophisticated circuit used in Sylvania
audio equipment, when used with a tape recorder, which
reproduces the information being recorded . . . directly from
the tape recorder playback h e a d s . . . allowing the listener,
through volume and tone adjustments, complete control over
the finished material.
T A P E O U T P U T : A jack or position in the amplifier or pre-
amp of a stereo hi-fi system where a tape recorder may be
connected. The recorder will then be able to directly record
any program source of the stereo hi-fi system (radio-records-
T V ) without the use of a microphone... and you may listen
to the program source while recording.
CONTROLS
BALANCE (Stereo Balance): A control by which the audio
output of two stereo channels can be adjusted to an equal
level for correct playback of stereo program material.
LOUDNESS C O N T R O L : Unlike a volume control, the loud­
ness control not only lowers and raises the level of sound —
it also compensates for our lack of hearing of extreme lows
at reduced listening levels (a normal human trait). It boosts
the bass during low level listening and reduces that boost
when a higher listening level is preferred.
STEREO-REVERSE: A method used in some sophisticated
stereo high fidelity equipment to reverse the stereo channels
— to correct for reversed channels on records and FM Stereo
transmission; — for difficult room acoustics and further
control of instrument placement as you wish to hear it.
C U T / B O O S T BASS & T R E B L E CONTROLS (on most
Sylvania Stereo-Hi-Fi instruments): A sophisticated tone
control allowing a " 0 " or "flat" setting of each control (12
o'clock position) for flat response. Allows the user to "cut" —
to the left —or "boost" — to the right, with relation to center
position. Conventional controls allow only a "cut" possibility.

PRE-AMP/AMPLIFIER
CHANNEL S E P A R A T I O N : A term used to designate the
separation of two stereo channels, usually given in decibles
or DB.
EIA MUSIC POWER: Electronic Industries Assn. Std.
Rating. Essentially the total power of both channels of a
stereo amplifier at 5% distortion measured under music
conditions.
PEAK POWER: Denotes the power available for a surge or
instantaneous peak in the program material. Current in­
dustry practice doubles EIA Power rating to obtain "peak"
measurement; TRUE Peak music power is obtained by
doubling IHF Power rating.
IHF MUSIC POWER: Institute of High Fidelity Inc. Std.
Rating. Essentially the total power of both channels of a
stereo amplifier measured under music conditions at low
distortion levels (usually less than 1% distortion).

E Q U A L I Z A T I O N : The correction for deliberate non-uniform


recording of low and high frequencies. Records are made with
low frequencies CUT and high frequencies BOOSTED. Equaliza­
tion compensates for this unbalance and produces a uniform
frequency response. (See RIAA Curve.)

RIAA E Q U A L I Z A T I O N CURVE (Record Industry Associa­


tion of America): A standard frequency curve used for making
records where the lows are attenuated and the highs are
boosted according to a set standard so that equipment manu­
facturers may use this standard as a basis of equalizing the
output signal on playback, thus restoring the original
recorded performance. (See Equalization.)

FREQUENCY RESPONSE: This refers to the range of fre­


quencies that a stereophonic high-fidelity system will repro­
duce effectively. Sometimes used in reference to individual
parts of the system.

HALF POWER P O I N T S : The points of measurement of the


power response of an amplifier. It represents the point (fre­
quency) at which the power output reduces to one-half the
normal power at midfrequency.

HARMONIC D I S T O R T I O N : Generation of undesired har­


monics or over-tones which were not present in the original
material.

SOLID S T A T E
(Transistorized — No Tubes)
TRANSISTORS: Solid state devices of silicon or germanium,
used to perform functions of vacuum tubes. Small, light­
weight, extremely reliable. (See Solid State.)
FIELD EFFECT TRANSISTORS ( F . E . T . ) : A precision silicon
transistor — highly sophisticated and reliable. Its superb
stability allows its application in FM and FM Stereo Receivers
to attain superior station selectivity — sensitivity and cross
modulation rejection.
SOLID S T A T E : (Transistorized — No Tubes): Electronic
circuitry using solid chemical crystals (silicon or germanium)
as semi-conductors of electricity rather than glass enveloped
vacuum tubes. These solid-state devices (transistors) perform
the same functions as vacuum tubes. Such circuitry gen­
erates little or no heat — needs no warmup to function and
results in far longer, more uniform life than comparable
tube circuits.
I N T E G R A T E D CIRCUIT — (IC): An entire electronic
circuit — including the functions of many transistors, resis­
tors, etc. impregnated on a tiny silicon "chip". Sylvania
utilizes IC's in FM stereo for superior sensitivity and limiting.

SPEAKER SYSTEM
T W E E T E R (Radiator): A speaker used specifically to
reproduce the high and very high-frequency sounds.
WOOFER (Bass Driver): A speaker used specifically to
reproduce the low and very low-frequency sounds.
MID-RANGE (Driver): A speaker especially designed to
reproduce the mid-range frequencies.
DIVIDING NETWORK: Electronic circuit which channels
specific frequencies to the proper speakers in a system de­
signed to best handle those frequencies.
CROSSOVER POINTS: Where frequency assignments change
from one speaker to another.
AIR SUSPENSION: A speaker system design which requires
an air tight speaker enclosure. The air gives a specially de­
signed highly compliant speaker an extremely linear restoring
force or spring.
This results in a movement of air equal and surpassing con­
ventional speakers double the size and a quality of sound,
especially in the low frequencies difficult to achieve in any
but the largest and most elaborate speaker systems.
HIGH COMPLIANCE SPEAKERS (A vital ingredient in
Air Suspension Speaker Systems): A speaker with a de­
sign of very loose cone suspension so that its excursions in
and out are linear, extremely free, not at all stiff, and equal
to conventional speakers of twice the size. (See Air Sus­
pension.)
AUDIBLE FREQUENCY RANGE: The audible frequency
range of the average human being is between 20 and 16,000
cycles per second. However certain transients and harmonics
far beyond these frequencies are also discernible and even
"felt" when an instrument can reproduce them — and are
"missed" when it cannot go beyond this range.
BEADING: Small, convex molding of a nearly semi-circular
section of furniture.
BRACKET F O O T : Low foot on cabinet running both ways
from the corner forming a right angle (Early American).
CABRIOLE LEG: Ornate leg — swelling outward at the
"knee" and inward at the "ankle" (Country or Provincial
French).
CREDENZA: A "full to the floor" or "buffet" style cabinet.
I N L A Y : A design of contrasting woods set into a surface.
L A T T I C E : Open criss-cross wood or metal decoration.
M A R Q U E T R Y : Inlay work formed by patterns of wood
within the furniture surface.
MOLDING: Ornamented or shaped strips, either sunk or
projecting from a surface.
P A T I N A : A surface texture produced by hand rubbing to
simulate the mellow glow of aged wood.
VENEERS: "Face" or top veneer selected on the basis of
the wood grains beauty and finish-ability.
TAPERED LEG: Leg diminishing in thickness as it approaches
the foot.
T U R N I N G : The shaping of legs or trim — one of the oldest
wood-working skills.
HARDWOOD SOLIDS: Heavy, close-grained woods from leaf
bearing t r e e s . . . selected for their qualities of stability
and rigidity.
DISTRESSING: Detailed marking and "specking" of finish
to provide an aged or treasured "heirloom" character to
furniture.
PHYSICAL DISTRESSING: Physically creating "scars" on
wood surface — then refinishing to achieve aged or "heir­
loom" appearance.
B U R L : Decorative rare veneers of beautiful circular patterns
obtained from unusual tree trunk growth.
F L U T E D : Grooves in a flat wood surface.
REEDING: Raised lines in a flat wood surface.
