Aux. Block:
Allows you to block the signal sent by equipment connected to the TV Audio/Video input jacks such as a VCR, a DVD Player, Laser Disc Player, etc. So, if you do not wish somebody to watch a videotape, a Laser Disc, etc, just set the Aux. Block to Sources Blocked.
MPAA: The Motion Picture Association of America’s Rating system has been included for those people who may be
more familiar with this rating system. (See layout on next page). There are six levels of settings. They are: G and Above, PG and Above, PG-13 and Above, R and Above, NC-17 and Above and X. Press LEFT/RIGHT arrows on the remote to access.
Age Block: You may wish to use these ratings instead. They are divided into two groups, General and Children.
GENERAL: These settings are: TV-G and Above, TV-PG and Above, TV-14 and Above and TV-MA. CHILDREN: These settings are: TV-Y and Above and TV-Y7. Press LEFT/RIGHT arrows on the remoteto access.
Content Block: Once again, there are six designated blocks that you can access. They are: Dialog, Language, Sex Scenes,
Violence, F Violence and No Rating. These settings allow you the option to block the program “Content”
based on individual parameters such as: Strong Dialog, Bad Language, Sex Scenes, Violence Scenes or Fantasy Violence Scenes and then to select an age level as well. Press LEFT/RIGHT arrows on the remoteto access. NOTE: If you choose TV-PG, all of the more restrictive ratings will be automatically blocked. This means that the viewer will not be able to see TV-PG, TV-14, or TV-MA rated programming.
Set Hours: Use this setting to enter the amount of hours you wish the Parental Control feature to be active.
Set Password: Select a secret password or code, using the number keys on the remote control. Don’t forget the password.
It is the only way you can access the Parental Control menu and change the rating selections. It is also the only way you can turn the Parental Control feature off.
Lock On Off: This setting gives you the option to have the Parental Control feature active all the time or allow
you to turn it on or off as needed.
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 the secret 4-digit code. The number of hours blocked can be specified. General audience and children viewer blocks can both be programmed into the TV’s memory. Viewer ratings are specified for both TV and the motion picture industry; both rating systems can be used. These ratings are based main­ly on the ages of children.
Below are listed explanations of each of the blocking options and a guide to help you access and select the Parental Control option best suited for your viewing environment.
Simply specifying one content block such as Sex Scenes, will not automatically block another content in the programs from appearing.
Even if you choose to leave the Aux inputs unblocked, the ratings you specify will automatically restrict the program­ming that appears from the video sources.
This feature offers a wide variety of options and settings that restrict or “block” undesirable programming from appearing on your TV screen.

Glossary
A complete list of definitions for words found in this guide.
PAGE 38
75 OHM RF CABLE The wire that comes from an off-air antenna or cable service provider.

300 ohm antenna to a
ADAPTER 75 ohm RF jack. They are usually about an inch long with two screws on
one end and a round opening with a wire sticking out on the other end.
A/V CABLES Audio/Video cables. Three cables bunched together—right audio (red),
left audio (white), and video (yellow). A/V cables are used for stereo playback of videocassettes and for higher quality picture and sound from other A/V devices.

when using your remote.
ANTENNA The physical receiver of television signals sent over the air. A large
metal piece of equipment does not always have to be visible for your home to be using an antenna.
AUTO PROGRAM Auto Program has your Entertainment Machine automatically find all the
channels available in your area.
BLOCK Restrict or censor a channel for a set length of time.
DELETE This function lets you remove channels that you don't watch from the
list you'll scroll through using your remote.
INPUT Refers to the jack that receives a signal from a TV, VCR or other
A/V device.
JACK A connection on the back of a TV, VCR, or any other A/V device.
MONO SOUND Mono (monaural) sound is one channel of sound. On more than one

OUTPUT Refers to the jack that sends a signal out of a VCR, DVD, or other
A/V device.
SECOND AUDIO Second Audio Programming (SAP) is another, separate, audio channel PROGRAMMING/SAP available with some programming. Choosing SAP often refers to listening
to audio in another language, such as Spanish or French.
SIGNAL Picture and sound traveling through cable, or on the air, to your
television screen.

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 MachineTMand 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 MachineTM.
• Are the Audio A/V cables properly installed?
• Are the wires for external speakers (if you have external speakers) properly installed?
• Are you in TV or cable tuning mode 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 plug.)
• 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 Video 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.
• Your program is in letterbox. This means that the shape of your TV is a square, but the program is a rectangle. 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.
• Make sure the batteries are fresh and installed properly.
• Remove batteries for 30 seconds and replace.
• Try unplugging the TV, waiting about five minutes, and then plugging it back in and trying again.

Troubleshooting
206-3588
SYMPTOMS
Snowy picture and poor sound.
Multiple images or ‘ghost shadows.’
Interference: Sharp lines across the screen and poor sound.
Normal picture but no sound.
No picture and poor sound.
No picture and no sound
No color, but the sound is O.K.
Picture has a big black box on it, but the sound is O.K.
Picture has two horizontal black bars, one on top and one on bottom.
Remote control doesn’t work.
Menu options won’t change.
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.
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.

Direct-View Color TV Welcome into 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.
ZENITH RESPONSIBILITY
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 Zenith, 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, EXPRESS 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 THE PRODUCT. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS OR THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
OWNER’S RESPONSIBILITY
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.
