There aM a number of ways you can choose to integrate your Entertainment Machine with the rest of your equip-
ment. Chanhels can be changed using the television, the VCR, or the cable box, with advantages to each.
USING TIIE TELEVISION AS THE TUNER preserves all your channel labels (not available on some models). It also
reduces the number of keys on the remote control you need to worry about. (One device, one remote to [earn.)
USING THE VCR AS THE TUNER has the advantage of simplifying the recording process. If the VCRis tuned to
channel seven, then the VCRwill record channe[ seven.
USING THE CABLE BOX (if you have one) to change the stations sometimes has an advantage, :oo, especia[ly if
your cable provider requires you to use their cable box to descramble their stations.
Based on the advantages listed above, decide what
device you want to use as the tuner.
Connect the antenna or cable source to the input
of your tuner. If you chose your television as the
tuner, then you're done. Go watch your
Entertainment Machine.
Connect the output of your tuner to the input of the
next device.
If you used A/V cables for step 3, set the "next
device" to Video input. If you used an RF coaxiaL
cable in step 3, then tune the "next device" to
match the output channel of your tuner (usually
channel 3 or 4).
Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you reach your
Entertainment Machine. Then enjoy!

If you leave your Entertainment Machine dormant for a tong time (such as a vacation') it's a good idea to
unp[L_g the power to protect against possible damage from lightning or power surges. If you use an
off-air ant_nna, you may aLso want to disconnect it from the back of your TV before Leaving.
If you unplug your Zenith Entertainment Hachine, you may have to reset the clock using the Clock Set
menu described earlier.
