The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.
CAUTION: To Prevent Electric Shock, Match wide blade of plug to wide slot, fully insert.
ATTENTION: Pour éviter les chocs électriques, introduire la lame la plus large de la fiche dans la borne correspondante de la prise et pousser jusqu’au fond.
This reminder is provided to call the cable TV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the National Electric Code (U.S.A.). The code provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of the cable entry as practical.

REFERENCE MAINTENANCE PAGE 23
Caring for your Entertainment Machine.
Maintenance
1. Here’s a great way to keep the dust off your 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 wipe the screen.
2. Make sure the excess water is off the screen, and then let it air-dry before you turn on your Entertainment Machine.
1. Use a soft cloth with a mild soap solution to wipe the cabinet (avoid using any cleaner that says ”industrial strength“ on the label).
2. Rinse the cloth and wipe the cabinet again.
3. Let the cabinet air-dry before turning the Entertainment Machine on.
Use a quality wood cleaner and polish. This will protect the Entertainment Machine from dirt and dust, as well as keep the cabinet looking new.
If you leave your Entertainment Machine dormant for a long time (such as a vacation), it’s a good idea to unplug the power to protect against possible damage from lightning or power surges. If you use an off-air antenna, you may also want to disconnect it from the back of your TV before leaving.
Screen Cleaning
Extended Absence
If you unplug your Entertainment Machine, you may have to reset the clock using the Clock Set menu described earlier.
Cabinet Cleaning
Wood Cabinets
Early malfunctions can be prevented. Careful and regular cleaning can extend the amount of time you will have with your new Entertainment Machine. Be sure to turn the power off and pull out the plug before you begin any cleaning.

Some quick
and easy
tips to fixing
problems
yourself
SOLUTIONS
• Check your antenna connection or location.
• Check your antenna direction and/or location.
• Make sure the wire from your antenna to your Entertainment Machine is properly connected.
The following may cause image problems or distortion: Electrical appliances, powerful lights, cars, trucks; Computers or portable phones; Medical equipment
• If possible increase the distance between your Entertainment Machine and the offending appliance. Or shut one of them off.
• Check volume control.
• Make sure the TV is not muted.
• Try another channel. The problem may be the broadcast, not your Entertainment Machine.
• Are the Audio A/V cables properly installed?
• Are you in TV or cable tuning mode (See Antenna/Auto Program on page 8, 9), and should be in the other?
• Make sure output channels on all A/V equipment are on the same channel (3 or 4).
• Check that all connections are tight.
• Is the AC power plugged in?
• Check that your AC power outlet works. (Test it by plugging in something else or try another outlet.)
• Make sure your brightness and audio controls are set properly.
• Try another channel. The problem may be with the broadcast.
• Check the color control in the Picture menu.
• Try another channel. The problem may be with the broadcast.
• The CC (closed caption) option may be in Text mode. Select OFF in the Captions/ Text menu (see page 22).
• Your program is in letterbox. This means that the shape of your TV is a square, but the program is a rectangle. Think of the bars as empty space the program doesn’t fill; not picture that’s blocked out. Because this format is a direct representation of film as you see it in the movies, you are actually seeing MORE of the program when you see those bars. Trust us.
• Make sure the batteries are fresh and installed properly; matching + with + and - with - in the battery compartment.
• Try unplugging the TV, waiting about five minutes, and then plugging it back in and trying again.

Your Zenith Warranty
Direct-View Color TV Welcome to the Zenith family! We believe that you will be pleased with your new Zenith Entertainment Machine. Please read this
warranty carefully, it is a “LIMITED WARRANTY” as defined under Federal Law. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights that vary from state to state within the U.S.A.
Service Labor During a period of 90 days from effective warranty date, Zenith will provide service labor by a Zenith authorized service center
when needed, as determined by the Zenith service center, as a result of manufacturing defects.
Parts New or remanufactured replacements for factory-defective parts will be supplied by a Zenith authorized service center for one year
from effective warranty date (color picture tube — two years). Such replacement parts are warranted for the remaining portion of the original warranty period.
Home Service Warranty service for 21” diagonal (U.S.A.) or larger screen size models is provided in the home in most cases. (Some
repairs may require the unit to be taken by the servicer to the repair facility and returned, at no additional charge.)
Not Covered This warranty covers manufacturing defects and does not cover installation, adjustment of customer controls in the home,
installation or repair of home antenna systems, cable converters or cable company-supplied equipment; it also does not cover damage due to misuse, abuse, negligence, acts of God or other causes beyond the control of Zenith. Any alteration of the product after manufacture voids this warranty in its entirety.
THIS WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ANY OTHER WARRANTY, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WAR­RANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND ZENITH SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSE­QUENTIAL, INDIRECT, OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING LOST REVENUES OR PROFITS IN CONNECTION WITH THIS PRODUCT.
Effective Warranty Date Warranty begins on the date of original consumer purchase. For your convenience, keep the dealer’s dated bill of sale or
delivery ticket as evidence of the purchase date.
Operating Guide Read your Operating Guide carefully so that you will understand the operation of your set and how to adjust the customer controls.
Carry-In Service Models under 21” diagonal (U.S.A.) screen size must be taken to a Zenith authorized service center for warranty service
and must be picked up by the owner.
Antenna Reception problems caused by inadequate home antenna or faulty antenna connections are the owner’s responsibility.
Important Product Registration—Please fill out and mail your Product Registration Card. It is imperative that Zenith know how to reach
you promptly if we should discover a safety problem that could affect you.
