MOTION PICTURE ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA (MPAA) RATING SYSTEM

G General Audiences Content not offensive to most viewers.
PG Parental Guidance Content is such that parents may not want their children to view the program.

Suggested

PG-13 Parental Guidance Program is inappropriate for preteens, with a greater degree of offensive material

Suggested than a PG rated program.
R Restricted viewing Not for children under age 17. Strong elements of sex and/or violence.
NC-17 Restricted Viewing Not for children under age 17 under any circumstances. Strong sexual content.
X Hard Core Films Same as NC-17 rating.

Note: Zenith Electronics Corporation is not liable for any program content that appears when using this rating system; as always, user
discretion is advised.

Overview

To insure complete coverage for all TV programs, (movies and regular TV shows) choose a rating for MPAA from the selec­tions below AND choose ratings from the TV Parental Guidelines Rating System on the next page, using the Age Block
option for General Audiences and for Children. In addition to those, you may wish to add additional restrictions from the
Content Block menu. See the Parental Control menu and submenus example on the following pages.

Things to Consider before Setting Up Parental Control

Determine which rating you consider acceptable to the viewer. (For example, if you choose TV-PG, all more restrictive rat­ings will be automatically blocked; the viewer will not be able to see: TV-PG, TV-14, or TV-MA rated programming.)

Do you want to block the auxiliary video source entirely? (Blocks the signal sent by the equipment, such as a VCR, con­nected to the TV Audio/Video input jacks; in the Aux. Sources option.) Or leave unblocked, then choose allowable ratings.

Block program “Content” based on individual parameters such as: Strong Dialog, Bad Language, Sex Scenes, Violence
Scenes, or Fantasy Violence Scenes; in the Content Blk option.

How many hours do you want Parental Control to be active? You can set the Hours option for up to 99 hours.

Select a password; in the Set Password option. Use the number keys on the remote. Don’t forget the password, it is the
only way you can access the Parental Control menu and change rating selections, or turn Parental Control off.

Do you want Parental Control to be active all the time? If not, you can turn it on or off; with the Lock On/Off option.

If used, this feature can “block” undesirable programming from appearing on the TV.

You can set different Parental Control viewing restric­tions for general audiences and for children - - both can
be active at the same time

.

Simply specifying one content block such as Sex Scenes,
will not automatically block another content in the pro­gram from appearing.

Even if you choose to leave the Aux Sources unblocked, the
ratings you specify will automatically restrict the program­ming from the video sources.

You cannot disable Parental Control by disconnecting the TV
from power. Block hours will automatically reset to the origi­nal block time setting specified if power is disconnected.

Parental Control offers the user a wide variety of options and settings that restrict or “block” the programming that can
appear on the TV. Parental control allows the user the capability of defining which program rating they consider accept­able, to the younger or more sensitive viewer. It can be preset and turned either on or off by the user who specifies a
secret 4-number code, the password. The number of hours blocked are specified. General audience and children viewer
blocks should both be programmed into the TV’s memory. Viewer ratings are specified for both TV and the motion picture
industry; both rating systems should be used, for complete coverage. The ratings are based on the ages of children.

Detailed Descriptions of Installer Menu Items

0-I. INSTALLER SEQUENCE

Gives access to Installer Menu depending on the code selected.

0 = 9876 1 = 4321
2 = 1478 3 = 3698

1-I. POWER MANAGE (Power Management)

Determines hours of no activity before automatic shutoff. The
POWER MANAGE function is for saving energy. When set to 0,
Power Manage is OFF. Settings range from 0 - 7, with 1 - 7 repre-

senting the hours that the TV will remain on, unless there has
been activity from either the control panel or remote control.

2-I. AC ON (AC Power Switchable)

Allows the TV to turn ON just by applying AC power. Pressing the
ON button is not necessary. This is desirable when the TV is
plugged into a cable box or a power outlet controlled by a wall
switch. Use ADJ to select 0 or 1, where 0 is the default is OFF,
and 1 is ON.
NOTE: When set to 1 (ON), the TV does not respond to ON/OFF
commands from either the remote or the control panel, and the
SLEEP TIMER is also nonfunctional.

*M.P.I. Multiple Protocol Input: Zenith protocol for remote control of TV through RJ11 (M.P.I.) jack on TV connections panel.

Installer Menu

3-I. BAND/AFC (Band/Automatic Frequency Control)

There are 8 possible settings for this option:

0 = Broadcast Fixed 4 = Broadcast AFC
5 = CATV Fixed 1 = CATV AFC
6 = HRC Fixed 2 = HRC AFC
7 = ICC Fixed 3 = ICC AFC

Channels are accessed faster when fixed modes are used. The AFC
(search modes) should only be used when some channels are not
on nominal frequencies.
NOTE: BAND is automatically set by AUTO PROGRAM.

If some channels were not found by AUTO PROGRAM, select the
appropriate AFC setting here and add the channels using the
ADD/DEL option in the Setup Menu.

4-I. STRT CHANNEL (Start Channel)

When active, this function allows you to determine the initial
channel number when the TV is turned ON. This feature is useful
for an in-house information channel, since the TV would always
select that channel when it is turned on. Setting this to 255
causes the last channel viewed when TV was turned off to be the
tuned to channel when the TV is turned on again.

The range of values is 0 - 255. Use ADJ (adjust) keys to choose
numbers that determine the start channel.

5-I. CHAN LOCK (Channel Lock)

CHAN LOCK is ideal if a cable box (or similar) is the sole source
for programming—and the TV must always be on the same chan­nel. Changing channels with Channel Up/Down or keypad num­bers is impossible. Channel Lock is inactive when set to 0
(default).

Generally, this feature is used in conjunction with START CHAN­NEL (item 4-I.) where the start channel may, for example, be set
to 3 or 4. If the start channel is 3, then the TV will remain on
channel 3. NOTE: When CHANNEL LOCK is active and CHANNEL
OVERIDE is disabled, AUTO PROGRAM is not active.

6-I. GHOST CH (Ghost Channel)

When set to 1, the current channel number is displayed in the
upper right corner of the CRT. The number moves slightly to pre­vent damage to the screen. The default is “0” or OFF.
NOTE: When captions are on, “Ghost Channel” is not displayed.

7-I. START VOLUME

This function allows the Installer to determine the initial volume
level setting when the TV is turned ON. This feature is useful for
an in-house information channel, since the TV would always
select that volume level when it is turned on. The range of values
are 0 - 63, 255. If 255 is selected, the current volume level will
be retained in memory when the TV is turned off; at TV turn on,
volume level is automatically set to the previous or last level.

8-I. MIN VOLUME (Minimum Volume)

This function determines the minimum volume level allowable
with the VOLUME (VOL) Up/Down control. In this way, for exam­ple, someone cannot set the sound too low to hear. The range is
from 0 to 63—change values with ADJ (adjust). The factory
default is 0, which provides full range of volume control. It may
be best to set the same value on every TV.
NOTE: The minimum volume level cannot have a value setting
higher than in the MAX VOLUME level (described below).

9-I. MAX VOLUME (Maximum Volume)

This function determines the maximum volume level allowable
with the VOLUME Up/Down control. In this way, for example,
someone cannot set the sound level high enough to disturb oth­ers. The range is 0 to 63, with 63 as the default which gives the
user the full range of volume control. Change values with ADJ
Left/Right keys. It may be best to set the same value on every
TV.
NOTE: The maximum volume level cannot have a value setting
lower than the MIN VOLUME level (described above).

10-I. MUTE DISABLE

Enables or disables sound mute function. If set to 1, sound can­not be muted. If set to 0, sound can be muted.

11-I. NOT USED

12-I. NOT USED

13-I. SCAN MODE

Allows variation in the On/Off setup with CHANNEL Up/Down. You
may opt for TV channels only or TV channels + Off/ON with the
following settings for Scan Mode:

LT2000 QuickSet Programmer

A slow flashing green light indicates there is a problem
with the communications between the TV and the program­mer. In this case, check for a damaged cable, poor con­tacts, or other connection troubles.

If the status indicator is red, the programmer batteries are
low and should be replaced. Use 4 good-quality alkaline AA
batteries.

Use the Zenith LT2000
QuickSet II “Clone”
Programmer to copy the
setup from a “master” TV
then quickly transfer the
setup to duplicate TVs ­(must be the same model
number as the master TV)

The optional QuickSet II Clone Programmer (LT2000) allows custom setup and programming information to be quickly copied from a mas­ter TV into multiple identical television sets. Once learned from the master, setup data is retained in the LT2000 for future use.

When using the LT2000, cloning operations will go easier if the TV set is connected to a good quality signal and operating with a stable
picture displayed. To operate the LT2000, use the indicated keys on an HP602, LP702, or MBR3447 remote, or the front panel keys on
the TV receiver.

Clone Controlling TV Display

Before you begin...

• The “master TV” should be connected to a good, stable signal
from an over-the-air antenna or cable service and turned on.

• Teaching and Learning is only possible between identical model
Zenith TVs. (However, the Clone programmer can store 4 different
master TV setups.)

WARNING: Copying a blank or incorrect memory into a TV
will cause the TV to operate erratically or become inoper­able.

• Use a Zenith MBR Remote like the MBR3447 or the TV front
panel controls to operate Learning and Teaching menus.

• Make sure that the batteries in the Clone programmer are fresh.

• If the batteries are removed, the Clone Clock time will be lost.

• Decide if you want to set the time from the Clone programmer or
copy the time to the Clone programmer; from a TV which has the
clock set to the current time.

• Follow the connection diagrams above to connect the Clone to a
master TV and, after learning is complete, to another TV to “teach”
it the setup.

• Setting the time and transferring it to the Clone or another TV is
a separate procedure.

• Once a TV’s setup is copied to another TV, that TV needs to be
disconnected from power for about 5 seconds to activate the
newly copied setup.

• See Troubleshooting to solve problems.

A. Set Up a Master TV

Using a Zenith Multi-Brand remote like the MBR3447, set up a
“master” TV with custom settings and features as described in the
master TV’s operating guide. The master TV’s Setup is what you will
copy to the Clone Programmer and transfer to TVs of the same
model so they will operate identically.

B. Connect Clone to Master TV

If there is a good connection, the “Clone has Control of TV” mes­sage will appear. (See menu above.)

LT2000 QuickSet Programmer

Typical Clone Programmer on-screen menus

C. Learn Setup from Master TV

Press 1 to select the “Learn From TV” option, then press ON/OFF,
POWER, or ENTER to go to the Memory Bank Selection Menu.
Pick the Memory ”Bank” (1, 2, 3, or 4) you want to store this
Master TV’s Setup in by pressing either Channel key repeatedly to
pick Memory 1, 2, 3, or 4. (If you choose a Memory “Bank” that
already has a master TV’s setup already in it, it will be overwritten
by this Master TV’s setup.) Once the Clone memory bank is select­ed, press ON/OFF, POWER, or ENTER. The Clone memory bank you
have selected will be shown. Press ON/OFF or POWER to begin
copying the master TV’s setup.

Ca. Set the Clock (Optional)

Set the time on the Master TV’s Clock. (If the time has already
been copied from another TV into the Clone programmer, you can
set the Master TV’s clock by copying the time from the Clone pro­grammer.) The Clone Programmer can copy the current time to
both a master TV and to the Clone’s internal clock; accurate to
within one minute. (Another reason that the Clone programmer
should be equipped with fresh, high-quality alkaline batteries is
for it to keep the time as accurately as possible.)
Since the Clone Programmer’s time cannot be set directly, the time
needs to be copied from a Zenith TV equipped with M.P.I. input
capability.

Once the time is copied to the Clone programmer, the current time
can then be transferred to another TV. (This can be a Master TV, or
another TV which has had the features already set up.)

D. Teach Master TV’s Setup to Other TV

Once Learning is complete, remove the M.P.I. cable from the mas­ter TV and connect it to the TV that you want to copy the master
TV’s setup to. With the “TV is Controlled by Clone” message dis­played, press 2 or use either Channel key to go to the “Teach to
TV” option, press ON/OFF, POWER, or ENTER. Follow on-screen
instructions to transfer the Setup and other information to the
“Learning” TV. After the “Teach to TV is Complete” message is dis­played, press any key to return to the Clone menus option, then
press ON/OFF, POWER, or ENTER. If finished, remove M.P.I. cable
from the TV.

E. Disconnect TV Power for 5 Seconds

Remove the TV power cord of the newly “Cloned TV” from the
power outlet for about 5 seconds to activate the newly copied
setup.

LT2000 QuickSet Programmer

Operation Notes

Disconnect the Clone from the TV when you are finished; auto­matically switching it off. The real-time clock continues to run
when the main circuits are switched off.

Reset Clone After Static Shock

After replacing exhausted batteries or if the programmer behaves
strangely after a static shock, use a paper clip or similar instru­ment inserted through the small hole marked ”RESET” to activate
the internal reset switch and restore normal operation. After a
reset, check the real-time clock setting. It may be necessary to
reset the Clone Programmer clock from a TV containing the cor­rect time.

The LT2000 programmer is designed to be used with TVs contain­ing the 221-01006 and later processors. Use with earlier TV sets
may give unpredictable results. The specific microprocessor used
in any TV set may be determined by activating the Installer
Menu. The microprocessor part number appears at the top of the
screen when the Installer Menu is activated. Processors before
the 221-01006-04 have a limited screen display capability. They
can not display entire screens as shown in the quick setup
instructions accompanying the LT2000 clone programmer. Use the
printed menu illustrations on the quick setup sheet supplied with
the Clone as an aid to making your programming choices.
(Although the menus are not all displayed, the clone functions
all operate normally.)

When cloning operations are complete, just unplug the LT2000 from the TV.

If the TV does not display a picture (blank screen) after a few seconds, just change channels.

Routine TV cabinet and screen cleaning

Maintenance

1. Here’s a great way to keep the dust off the screen for a while. Wet a soft cloth in a mixture of lukewarm water
and a little fabric softener or dish washing detergent. Wring the cloth until it’s almost dry, and then use it to
