SECTION 1
OVERVIEW
The GA series chassis was developed for Sentry 2, screen
sizes 19" through 27" stereo and mono models. The chassis is a single sided printed circuit board. One board is
used for the 19" and 20" connected sets. A second board
is used on the 25" and 27" isolated sets. During the
manufacturing process, the EAROM is programmed for
any added features. Output jacks will be added to the
board to accommodate the different features: Video/
Audio In, Non MTS Stereo, and MTS Stereo.
The GA series chassis features three IC’s for all signal,
sync and sweep processing. ICX2200 handles all of the
audio/video, sync and sweep drive processing. IC6000
is the microprocessor and IC6001 is the EAROM memory.
The keyboard and IR detector are tied directly to IC6000.
IC2100/2101 handles the vertical sweep.
At turn on, voltages for the vertical and video output
circuit are derived from the sweep circuit.
The GA chassis is comprised of three (3) categories. GA1, GA-2, and GA-3. Each category represents the screen
size and different model feature levels.
The GA-1 chassis had five module variations which are as
follows:
9-1869 (19/20V, Mono) Main Module w/o Jack Assy.
9-1870 (19/20V, Non MTS Stereo) Main Module w/o Jack
Assy.

REMOTE PROGRAMMING
PROGRAMMING THE MBR3446 AND MBR3447 REMOTES
If you’re using Zenith products, the remote is already
programmed for most common codes. For other brands,
or if your remote fails to control your Zenith products,
you’ll have to program the remote.
After installing the batteries, follow these steps for each
product:
1. Press and hold PRG using a blunt pointed object.
Release PRG after indicator light turns on.
2. Press the device button to be programmed: CATV, VCR,
AUX, or TV.
3. Enter 3-digit product code from chart on next page.
4. Press and release ENTER to save code.
5. Point remote at product and press POWER to test
product operation. If it does not turn on, reprogram
remote using a different code.
6. Write codes on the label inside battery compartment
for future reference.
AUTO FIND
If none of the codes in the code table operate your
equipment, use Auto Find to search for the proper code.
1. Turn On the device you want to operate.
2. Press and hold PRG using a blunt pointed object.
Release PRG after the indicator light turns on.
3. Press the device button to be programmed: CATV, VCR,
AUX, or TV.
4. Enter “000”, then press ENTER within two seconds.
Auto Find is active when the indicator light flashes
and remains lit.
5. Point the remote at the product.
6. Press and release POWER repeatedly, about once a
second, until your product turns Off. The indicator
light turns Off when you press POWER, and On when
you release it.
7. Press ENTER immediately to save the code. The
indicator light flashes to indicate the code has been
saved.
8. Press POWER to turn On your product.
9. Test your product. If the remote fails to operate the
functions you use most often, use Auto Find again
to search for a better code. (Auto Find resumes its
search after the last code that was entered and saved
in step 7).
NOTE: If the indicator light stays on as you press
POWER, Auto Find has tried all of the codes.
If the product you want to control has not
turned off, your remote will not work with
that product.
To cancel Auto Find, press PRG at any time
during Auto Find.
CABLE BOX
These remotes can control cable/converter box volume
and muting if available on your equipment.
1. Program the cable/converter box normally.
2. After programming the cable/converter box, Press and
hold PRG again using a blunt pointed object. Release
PRG after indicator light turns on.
3. Press and release the cable device button.
4. This time, enter the special code 3-9-9 instead of
the product code.
5. Press and release ENTER to save.
VOLUME OVERRIDE
These remotes can override TV, VCR, or Video Disk Player
volume functions with an amplifier’s volume and muting.
1. Program the amplifier normally.
2. After programming the amplifier, Press
and hold PRG again using a blunt pointed object.
Release PRG after indicator light turns on.
3. Press and release the device button whose
volume control is to be replaced by the amplifier
volume control. For example, pressing TV will
operate the amplifier’s volume while the remote is
in TV mode.
4. This time, enter the special code 4-9-9 instead of
the product code.
5. Press and release ENTER to save.
SPECIAL FEATURES
AUX+1, AUX+2, AND AUX+3 Capability
These remotes can control up to seven devices. If the
remote has been programmed for four components using
the TV, VCR, CABLE and AUX keys, you may also program
it for up to three additional using AUX+1, AUX+2 and
AUX+3.
To Program AUX+1, AUX+2, AND AUX+3
1. Locate three-digit code for product in code table.
2. Press and hold PRG until indicator lights up.
3. Press AUX and “1” simultaneously to select AUX+1.
4. Enter three-digit code, then press ENTER. Indicator
light should flash, then turn off to indicate code is
accepted. If the light stays on, repeat steps 3 and 4
or try a different code.
5. Repeat steps 2-4 for AUX+2 and AUX+3.
6. Write codes on the label inside battery compartment
for future reference. Hold down AUX and press 1, 2, or
3 to access AUX+1. +2 or +3 mode.
