Parental Control Overview
Mini glossary
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 Guideline 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 include additional restrictions from the Content Block menu. See the Parental Control menu, and submenus example on the next page.
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. Block option.) Or leave unblocked, and have the restrictions you specified filter programming from the video source.
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 secret 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.
This optional feature can be used to “block” undesirable programming from appearing on your TV Note: If you use this feature, PIP will not be available.
You should set Parental Control viewing restrictions for General Audiences and for Children - - both should be active at the same time
.
Simply specifying one content block such as Sex Scenes, will not automatically block another content in the pro­grams from appearing.
If you choose to leave the Aux inputs unblocked, the ratings you specify will still restrict the programming content that appears 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 the secret 4-number code, the password. The number of hours blocked are specified. For complete coverage, 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 can be used. The ratings are based mainly on the ages of children.

Two-Tuner PIP Overview
PIP = Picture-In-Picture Think of PIP as a mini TV screen superimposed onto your main TV screen Press PIP on the remote to place the PIP inset on the screen, press PIP again to remove it
PIP Inset Picture
Main Picture
YOUR PICTURE-IN-PICTURE FEATURE
The Picture-In-Picture (PIP) function allows you to put a smaller picture, called the “inset,” on the bigger screen, or the “main” picture.
Normally you would need some other piece of equipment, like a VCR, to act as a tuner to receive and display a second channel at the same time. Your TV eliminates that need by giving you two tuners on one TV, on the Antenna/Cable source. PIP is always available, no matter what equipment you have.
Don’t want to miss any of the big game, but hate commercials? Just put the game in the PIP inset, and Surf your favorite chan­nels on the main picture screen.
WORKING WITH PIP
Just like your Entertainment Machine’s main screen, PIP will need a source to take its image from. Set the main screen source to Antenna/Cable, then set the PIP source to Antenna/Cable, as an example. Then if you use the TV’s tuner to pick your channels, you can enjoy 2-tuner PIP; channel scan capability for both the main screen and the PIP inset.
PIP can be used in any picture mode. Put Antenna/Cable in the inset while you watch a video tape, from a VCR connected to Video 1. Have a DVD disk playing in the PIP inset, while you watch a videotape on the main screen.
SOME TYPICAL PIP/MAIN SCREEN VIEWING SETUPS
1. You want to watch a videotape, but keep scanning for another movie or game. Set the PIP source to Video 1, or 2 and you can watch the VCR and TV, swapping between the two.
2. You want to watch your favorite live program on Antenna/Cable on the main picture and when a commercial break appears, swap to the PIP inset; which has a videotape in the VCR ready to play, or Surf your favorite channels using the Antenna/Cable source for the PIP inset.
If no equipment is connected to a source you select for the PIP inset, or if it is turned off, the PIP inset will be black.

Maintenance
Caring for your Entertainment Machine
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 your 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 Zenith Entertainment Machine, you may have to reset the clock using the EZ Clock menu described earlier. See page 21.
Cabinet Cleaning
Wood Cabinet
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
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 can’t be changed or selected.
No picture or sound when a non-cable source is selected.
POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
• Check antenna connection or location. Sub-standard cable signal?
• Check your antenna direction and/or location.
• Make sure the wire from your antenna to your Entertainment Machineis 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 levels.
• Make sure the TV sound 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, 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 cord 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. Black/White program?
• Is Text model selected but no text is available on the broadcast?
• The CC (closed caption) option may be in Text mode. Select OFF in the Captions 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 movies, you are actually seeing MORE of the program when you see those bars.
• Make sure the batteries are fresh and installed properly. Does indicator light work, is it nice and bright?
• Is remote in TV mode? Press TV for TV mode.
• Try unplugging your Entertainment Machine for a few minutes, then plug it back in. (Don’t forget to reset the clock.)
• Check to see if the source equipment has been turned on.
• Make sure that the connections are secure on the back of your TV and on the source.
SYMPTOMS
Weak or no Stereo Sound when using a stereo VCR.
With no key presses, on-screen menus continue to appear.
PIP Problems
PIP does not work.
The PIP inset is black or lacks contrast when VIDEO is the PIP source.
The PIP inset is “snow” when the source is Video.
There is no picture in the PIP inset when using VIDEO for the PIP and Antenna/Cable for the main picture.

Glossary
A/V CABLES Audio and 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.
A/V DEVICE Equipment that produces picture and sound
(VCR, DVD, cable box, or television).
ADDED Includes channels that you want to watch
in addition to the channels found by EZ Program.
AMPLIFIER An external device that amplifies sound
from a television, CD player, VCR, DVD, etc.
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.)
CABLE Cable Box operating mode on the remote. CABLE SERVICE Programming provided by a cable company. CAPTIONS/TEXT A form of subtitling that writes out the dia-
log for your program.
DELETED Removes channels that you don’t watch
from those found by EZ Program.

a function or menu item.
INPUT Refers to the jack that receives a signal into
the TV, VCR or other A/V device.

other A/V device. This includes the RF jack that is threaded with a place for a small wire in the center, and the Audio/Video jacks that have a bigger opening and are color-coded.
MODE The equipment that the remote control is
currently controlling (TV, VCR, Cable, etc.) is the remote’s operating “mode.”
MONO SOUND Mono (monaural) sound is one channel of
sound. On more than one speaker, all the speakers play the same audio.

or cable service provider. Each end looks like a hex shaped nut with a wire sticking through the middle, and it screws onto the large threaded jack on the back of your TV.
OUTPUT Refers to the jack that sends a signal out of
a VCR, DVD, or other A/V device.
PIP This is the most common way to refer to
the Picture-in-Picture (PIP) feature.

available with some programming. Choosing 2nd Audio/SAP often refers to listening to audio in another language, such as Spanish or French.
SIGNAL Picture and sound traveling through cable,
or over the air, to your television screen.
SOURCE The term for the equipment or connection
that provides audio and video (picture and sound) to your Entertainment Machine. VCR, DVD players, or Cable Boxes are examples of sources.
STEREO SOUND Stereo (stereophonic) sound refers to audio
that’s divided into right and left sides or channels.
SURF Use the Surf feature to create a special list
of your favorite channels. You can access the “Surf” channels by pushing SURF on the remote to put the TV into Surf channel tun­ing mode. Press Surf again to cancel Surf channel tuning mode.

Direct-View Color TV Welcome to the Zenith family! We believe that you will be pleased with your new Zenith Entertainment MachineTM. 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’S 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 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 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. 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.
Warranty Service For warranty service information, contact any Zenith authorized service center. Parts and service labor that are Zenith’s
responsibility (see above) will be provided without charge. Other service is at the owner’s expense. If you have any problem in obtaining satisfactory warranty service, call or write the Zenith Response Center. You must provide the model number, serial number and date of purchase or date of original installation. Before you ask for warranty service, read “Maintenance And Troubleshooting” in your operating guide. You might avoid a service call.
Be sure to send in the Product Registration Card. We will send you an application for the Protection Plan near the expiration of the two-year manufacturer’s warranty on the picture tube. For additional information call (256) 774-4088.
