Lock (Parental Control) Overview

If used, this optional feature can “block” undesirable programming from appearing on the TV.
Note: Lock, is also known and referred to in the text as Parental Control. To block specific source inputs,
use the AUX. Block options. Lock options are available by country: USA and Canada. Lock options are
also available with TV Ratings for English and TV Ratings for French. Block individual channels if desired.

Overview

To insure complete coverage for all TV programs, (movies and regular TV shows) choose a rating for MPAA, from the selec­tions AND choose ratings from the TV Parental Guidelines Rating System, using the Age Block option for General
Audiences, and for Children. In addition to those, you may wish to add additional restrictions from viewing certain chan­nels. See the Lock menu, and submenus example on the following pages.

Things to Consider before Setting Up Lock (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 sources? (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, but choose allowable ratings.

• In the TV Rating-General option, block program “Content” based on individual parameters such as: Age, Dialog,
Language, Sex, Violence, or in the TV Rating-Children option: Fantasy Violence.

• 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 Lock menu and change rating selections, or turn Lock off.

• Do you want Lock to be active all the time? If not, you can turn it on or off; with the Lock On/Off option.

You can set different Parental Control viewing restric­tions for general audiences and for children - - both can
be active at the same time

.

Simply specifying one content block such as Sex, will not
automatically block another content in the programs
from appearing.

Even if you choose to leave the Aux source inputs unblocked,
the ratings you specify will automatically restrict the pro­gramming that appears from the video sources.

You cannot disable Lock by disconnecting the TV from power.
Lock will automatically reset if power is disconnected.

Lock/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. 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
should be used, for complete coverage. The ratings are based mainly on children’s ages.

Programming your Zenith remote may allow you to use

one remote to operate up to 4 different devices, if all

modes are programmed.

Once the device turns off, try the other functions. IF

they do not operate, try another code. Or, see page 45.

Not all devices will operate with your Zenith remote

control.

Turn on the device you want to program.

On the chart on page 46/47, find the type of device you’re
programming, and then find the brand name. Write down the
three-number code(s).

Press and hold PRG. It’s recessed so it doesn’t get pushed
accidentally. Use a small, blunt object. When the indicator
light turns on, you can release PRG.

Push the button name with the type of device you’re pro­gramming: VCR, CABLE, AUX, TV.

Using the NUMBER keypad, enter the three-number code you
found on page 46/47.

Press ENTER to save the code. (The indicator light will flash
2 times, then turn off to indicate the code is valid.)

Point the remote at the device and push POWER. It should
turn off. If not, try the other codes listed and continue from
step three.
Note: To reset remote to factory settings, enter 9-1-1, in
Step 5.

Programming your Zenith remote may allow you to use one remote
to work up to 4 different devices, if all modes are programmed.

Not all devices will work with your Zenith remote control.

With a small blunt object, press and hold PRG for about three
seconds. When the light turns on, release PRG.

Press the mode button you want the 3-number code for, then
press the TIMER button.

The LED will blink the number of times to indicate the num­ber of the first digit. There will be a 1 second pause during
which the LED light will be off, then the LED will blink the
number of times for the second digit of the code, and so on.
For example:

- One blink, no LED light for 1 second.

- Three blinks, no LED light for 1 second.

- Eight blinks.
This is the example for code: 1-3-8.
Note: Ten blinks indicate code number “0”.

Routine TV cabinet and screen cleaning

Maintenance

1. Here’s a great way to keep the dust off the 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 turning the TV on.

1. Use a soft cloth with a mild soap solution to wipe the cabinet. (Don’t use any harsh, industrial strength variety
of cleaner.)

2. Rinse the cloth and wipe the cabinet again.

3. Let the cabinet air-dry before turning the TV on.

Use a quality wood cleaner and polish. This will protect the TV from dirt and dust, as well as keep the cabinet
looking new.

If you leave your TV dormant (Off) for a long time (such as a vacation), it’s a good idea to unplug the power cord
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 the TV, you may have to reset the clock using the Clock Set menu described earlier. See
page 32.

Cabinet Cleaning

Wood Cabinet

Careful and regular cleaning can extend the the useful service life of the TV. Be sure to turn the power off and pull out
the plug before you begin any cleaning.
