RTE. 120 McHENRY Just a few years ago, tuning a1" color television set was a frustrating chore. Faces often appeared green, grass was purple and constant adjustments were required. Last year GTE Sylvania introduced the all solid- state GT-MaticTM series of color TV set^which were called "the first true self- adjusting color television sets" and earlier this year the company announced an advanced version of the concept, GT-Matic Htm. IxH'k-uwuy center The programming con­ trols, located on the front of most color TV sets, are included in a lock-away control center in the Syl­ vania units. Only the on/ off, volume control and channel selector controls are outside the sets. The GT-Matic programming controls (color intensity, tint, contrast and bright­ ness) are installed in the tamper-proof control cen­ ter that opens and locks with a special key. Since viewing prefer­ ences differ and local transmitting conditions vary, you first unlock the conlfol center, adjust the programming contrdls to your liking and then re- lock the center. SyHtem "remembers" The GT-Matic tuning system "remembers" these preferences and helps keep the color the way you like it as you switch from channel to channel. Syl­ vania says you may never have to touch the set again, except to turn it on or off, raise or lower the volume or change chan­ nels. You won't be using a vertical hold control either because it doesn't exist in the GT-Matic sets. A tiny integrated circuit that can fit on the head of a pin acts like a computer to hold the picture steady, eliminating the need for the vertical control. Also, another integrated circuit monitors the horizontal hold control so you may never have to adjust for picture rolling. Most of the GT-Matic II receivers include a new Sylvania picture-tube -- the Dark Lite 50™ which absorbs room light and produces a bright, high contrast picture no matter how much light there is in the viewing area. Fast, easy service The circuits in the GT- Matic sets are grouped on three separate plug-in modules, so service is fast and easy, and often in the home. Most GT-Matic models are ready for cable tele­ vision.

Learn the calculator 's language The growth of the elec­ tronic calculator has launched a whole new vo­ cabulary. Here are some of the most commonly used calculator terms -- and what they mean: AUTOMATIC CON­ STANT-- Allows the user to multiply or divide a se­ ries of numbers by the same number without having to enter it again each time. • FLOATING DECIMAL-- Allows the user to move the decimal point to its proper place in the calcu­ lation. Q MEMORY -- Allows the user to store numbers en­ tered into the calculator to be recalled in later calcu­ lations. OVERFLOW -- A signal indicating that more num­ bers have been entered in­ to the calculator than it can handle, or that the answer is too long to be shown on the display. ROUND-OFF -- The means by which the last number of an answer is increased by one if the following number would have been five or larger. TUNER -- The electron­ ic circuit which plucks radio broadcast signals out of the air. Variety of styles The GT-Matic console and portable sets are available in a variety of finishes and furniture styles in the following di­ agonal screen sizes -- 13, 15, 19, 21 and 25 inches.
