Tuning control adjusts TV picture to room brightness PAGE 9-SUPPLEMENT TO THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER-WED., JAN. 29, 1975 This very small alarm sure makes a big noise concerning Alfco Alert, write to the Jourdan Com­ pany, 133 Newbury Street, Boston, Mass. 02166. RECEIVER -- A tuner and amplifier mounted on a single chassis. The tuner may incorporate AM radio, Ever become bothered and bewildered when the late afternoon sunshine streams through the win­ dow and washes out much of the color TV picture, just when the score is tied or when a favorite TV soap opera has you on the edge of the chair? What to do? ' Of course, one could continue, as in the past, to walk to the window and draw the drapery or shade. And one could then walk to the set and crank up the brightness control of the TV picture. However, the TV engineers may have a better solution. A 1975 design approach by the makers of Quasar color TV positions, on the front of the set, a honey­ comb lens, similar to that used in a light meter. The lens is properly placed to measure general room brightness. Behind the lens is a light sensor which responds to changes in room light, activating electronic circuitry which quickly translates the need for increased or de­ creased picture tube brightness, contrast and color intensity, keeping all in balance. Balance* to light When a strong atter- noon sun floods the room and TV screen, this cir­ cuitry "telegraphs" the need for increased bright­ ness on the picture tube to offset intense room , light. When darkness dims < the room, the electronic - system reduces the bright­ ness on the picture tube. This particular system is identified as Super Insta- Matic color tuning. Re­ ceivers with this com­ pany's 1975 all solid" state chassis also have a single manual slide action con­ trol which can make similar balanced, picture adjustments when the au­ tomatic system is "off" or not engaged. Another development by this color TV maker is a '"Slumber Sentry" feature on designated remote con­ trol console models which k yrill automatically shut -down the TV set shortly Rafter the broadcast sta- * tion concludes ' its sched- uled program transmis­ sion period: no need to 4 waste power while the viewer dozes. Adapts to voltage Also in connection with STRIKING, CLEAN LINES of this solid state color TV set blend well with modern, contemporary or traditional decor. Rosewood veneer and solids side panels are contrasted by the slanted white frame front. Black chrome color trim ac­ cents the cabinet, whose top has simulated slate finish. This Quasar TV also has Super Insta-Matic color tuning. power, this set maker's 100 per cent solid state color TV receivers are equipped with line voltage regulation, designed to maintain picture quality level to help prevent a fading picture in low volt­ age periods or too bright a picture during high volt­ age surges. The 1975 all solid state color TV line by Quasar Electronics Corporation has a number of console cabinet designs which of­ fer a bold and massive appearance, with fine detail in ornamentation, solid furniture style corner post treatments on many models, as well as greater use of smartly styled side panels. Certain models also highlight simulated slate cabinet tops. The design direction of this maker's latest Jine points to the possible muU tiple function use of two 19-inch diagonal portable color TV furniture en­ sembles. Available in choice of Mediterranean or Early American styling, these sets are furnished with versatile tea carts that can serve as a design coordinated base for the TV receiver or -be em­ ployed separately for serv­ ing refreshments. tJsed either way, these well styled tea carts have a storage area behind a dec­ orative front panel and a shelf which can display art objects or books. Styled like furniture Another styling stand­ out in this firm's 1975 color TV collection is a 25-inch diagonal console with ' striking, clean lines which JUST A FEW OF THE SPECIALS YOU WILL FIND AT VYCITAL'S ICE SKATES Men's & Ladies' Figure Boy's & Girl's Figure Men's & Boy's Hockey ALL Hockey Sticks 50% OFF PINT THERMOS BOTTLE REG.
