ANT / Cable Service Hookup

Connect an antenna and/or cable service to your TV as shown.

Turn to page 26 to do a channel search with EZ Scan for ANT / CABLE connection(s).

For best signal reception, it is recommended to have your Antenna professionally adjusted.

If you receive your RF signal through an antenna that is several years old and connects with two small prongs, you will need to purchase a 300 to 75 ohm adapter. It should be available from your local electronics dealer.

Zenith recommends using a 75 ohm cable for your antenna connections in order to prevent interference.

Cable Box Connections

Locate the Antenna/Cable 2 jack on the back of your TV. Connect the cable that runs from the wall directly to the jack. Now find the Loop Out jack.

Connect the cable from this jack to the Input jack on the back of your cable box.

Locate the Output jack on the back of your cable box. Connect this to the Antenna/Cable 1 jack on the back of your TV.

To view the premium stations, press the TV button on your remote and select the other Cable source (Ant/Cable 1). Then tune the channel number on your cable box for HBO, CINEMAX, SHOWTIME, etc.

To view non-premium channels press the TV button and select Ant/Cable 2. Then run EZ Scan to find all available channels and store them in memory.

This can be combined with any other equipment you may want to hook up, see following pages. Connect cable service wire directly to the TV, loop out from the TV, then to the cable box. From there, the cable box output connects to the next device in the connection series, until the last device, which connects back to the Antenna/Cable 1 jack on the TV.

Some cable services require the use of a cable box to decode premium channels and pay-per-view. Using the Loop Out to Decoder connection option, and programming your remote, you can connect your cable box so that you only need your MBR remote to tune to premium and non-premium channels. By connecting a cable box directly to your TV, as shown to the LOOP OUT, you make the cable box another available channel tuning source using your remote.

Connect the cable from this jack to the Input jack on the back of your cable box.

Locate the Output jack on the back of your cable box. Connect this to the RF or VHF/UHF/CATV In jack on the back of your VCR. If you want to connect VCR to the TV directly, connect the cable from the Loop Out jack to the RF or VHF/UHF/CATV In jack on the back of your VCR.

Find the composite video and audio jacks on the back of your VCR, and connect them following the instructions provided with your equipment.

You may connect either the composite video or the S-Video cables to your TV. (Do not connect BOTH the composite video and the SVideo cables. In the event that you connect both composite video and the S-Video cables, only the S-Video will work.)

To hear stereo sound from cable or your VCR, you will need to connect A/V cables as well as the wire that runs from the VCR to your TV.

If you want to receive your signals on Channel 3 or 4, locate the Out to TV jack on your VCR. Connect a cable from the Out to TV jack to the Antenna/Cable 1 jack on the back of your TV.

After connecting external equipment to the TV, don’t display a still picture for a long time on the screen. Doing so may damage the TV screen.

This is just a general room design. Any number of setups are possible, and some changes may be needed to maximize your sound. However, a Dolby Digital Receiver is required to hear 5.1 channel audio.

A left and right speaker on either side of the set enhances separation. The TV “center mode in,” makes the dialog sound as though it’s coming directly from the TV. The rear surround sound speakers provide the majority of other sounds, like those from special effects in movies. Your sub-woofer generates ultra-low frequency sound, for rumbling low-end audio.

Sound is affected by speaker placement, so make sure nothing is in front of the speakers, and that they are aimed in appropriate directions.

You have the option of turning the internal speakers on or off.

Monitor Out Setup

Programming the Remote

Test your remote control. To find out whether your remote control can operate the component without programming, turn on the component such as the VCR and press the corresponding mode button (VCR) on the remote control while pointing at the component. Test the POWER and CH +/- buttons to see if the component responds properly. If not, the remote requires programming to operate the device.

Turn on the component to be programmed. Then press the corresponding mode button on the remote control.

Press the POWER button and the MUTE button simultaneously. Then the remote control is ready to program the code for the corresponding component.

There are two ways to find the right code for the component.

A. If you press the CH +/- buttons repeatedly, the code will change one at a time. Press the POWER button after each code change. If the right code is found, the device will turn off.

B. Enter a code number using the number buttons on the remote. The right code numbers for the corresponding component can be found on the following pages. Again, if the code is correct, the device will turn off.

Press the EXIT button to store the program.

Test the remote control functions to see if the component responds properly. If not, repeat from step 2.

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 TV.

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 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 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

CABINET CLEANING

WOOD CABINETS

Early malfunctions can be prevented. Careful and regular cleaning can extend the amount of time you will have your new TV. Be sure to turn the power off and pull out the power cord before you begin any cleaning.

PAGE 51

Maintenance continued

Even though you may be getting cable, the signal may be weak, which means the quality of your picture may suffer due to other factors. If there are problems with the image on your TV, consult the Troubleshooting guide on the following pages. You may also want to contact your cable service provider to determine if the problem is from the cable service.

If you use your TV to play video games or for other uses that have single, fixed images, such as a photo-CD player, you should avoid setting the Brightness level too high. If static images, like network identification patterns, are left on the screen for too long, they can leave a permanent impression on the TV screen. You can reduce the chance of this happening by limiting the amount of time you use the fixed-image display, and by reducing the contrast and brightness levels.

VIDEO GAMES AND OTHER FIXED-PATTERN DISPLAYS

PICTURE INTERFERENCE

If you unplug your TV, you may have to reset the clock using the Time menu described earlier.

Troubleshooting

SYMPTOMS

Snowy picture and unclear sound.

Multiple images or ‘ghost shadows.’

Interference: Sharp lines across the screen and unclear sound.

Normal picture but no sound.

No picture and unclear 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.

Missing Secret code

Some quick and easy tips to fixing problems yourself.

SOLUTIONS

• Check your antenna connection or location.

• Check your cable input.

• Check to see if the TV/VCR button on your VCR has the TV selected.

• Check your antenna direction and/or location.

• Check your cable input.

• Make sure the cable from your antenna to your TV 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 TV and the offending appliance. Or shut one of them off.

• Check volume levels.

• Make sure the TV is not Muted.

• Try another channel. The problem may be the broadcast, not your TV.

• Are the Audio A/V cables properly installed?

• Are the wires for external speakers (if you have external speakers)

properly installed?

• Make sure your speakers turned on under the Audio menu.

• If your audio mode is set to SAP, that channel may not have a SAP program.

• 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 Caption 1, or 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. 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.

• If you forget the secret code, press the remote control Button ‘7’, ‘7’, ‘7’ and ‘7’ when the display asks you to enter the secret code.

PAGE 53

206-03816

Remote control doesn’t work.

Menu options can’t be changed or selected.

No picture or sound when any non-cable source is selected.

Weak or no Stereo Sound when using a stereo VCR.

The PIP inset is black or lacks contrast.

The PIP inset is “snow” when the source is Antenna 1.

Time is incorrect.

Troubleshooting, cont’d

• Make sure the batteries are fresh and installed properly.

• Try unplugging your TV for a few minutes,

then plug it back in.

• 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 equipment.

• Check to see if all the connections are secure.

• Look in the Audio mode menu to see if all the settings are correct.

• You are using channel 3 or 4 to view your VCR. No stereo sound is present

under that decision.

• Check to be sure that the PIP source is turned on.

• You might want to adjust the PIP picture settings under the PIP menu.

• Check that all the wires are connected properly.

• Check to see if your input source for PIP is set correctly.

• Look to see if the TV/VCR button on your VCR has the TV selected or change

the PIP to another source.

• Make sure the time was set initially. Probably power was lost.

Glossary

A list of definitions for some of the words found in this guide.

75 OHM RF CABLE The round cable that comes from an off-air antenna or cable service

provider. Each end looks like a hex shaped nut with a wire sticking through the middle, and it screws onto the threaded jack on the back of your TV.

A/V CABLES Audio/Video cables. Three cables - 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 Any device that produces video or sound (VCR, DVD, cable box,

or television).

ADD This function lets you add new channels to the channel list in memory

that you’ll scroll through when using your remote.

AMPLIFIER An external device that amplifies sound from a television, CD player, VCR,

DVD or other A/V device.

ANALOG TV Traditional method of representing a television signal as a replica (analog)

of the original picture and sound.

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.

ASPECT RATIO The ratio of the horizontal dimension to the vertical dimension of a pic-

ture. Standard television in the U.S. today is generally transmitted and displayed in a 4:3 aspect ratio. High-Definition television will normally be formatted in a wider aspect ratio, assumed to be 16:9.

CAPTIONS A form of subtitling that writes out the dialog for your program on the

screen.

CONVERGENCE This option lets you correct for color separation in your picture.

DELETE This function lets you remove channels that you don’t watch from the

channel list in memory.

DIGITAL TV A new method of representing television signal as a series of binary num-

bers (1s and 0s). This method allows for the signal to be manipulated to eliminate redundancy to dramatically increase picture and sound quality.

DOLBY DIGITAL Dolby Digital Cinema Sound is made possible by a new digital coding tech-

nique called Dolby AC-3. Dolby AC-3 produces high-quality, 5.1 channel surround sound which is six discrete separate channels for a full range of sound. Each channel can carry a different signal simultaneously (front center, front left, front right, surround left, surround right and subwoofer).

INPUT Refers to the jack that receives a signal into the TV, VCR or other

A/V device.

Glossary continued

JACK A connection on the back of a TV, VCR, or any other A/V

device. This includes the RF jacks and the Audio/Video jacks that are color-coded.

MODE The mode determines the type of device (TV, VCR, Cable, Aux)

that the remote is controlling; remote operating mode.

MONO SOUND Mono (monaural) sound is one channel of sound. On more

than one speaker all the speakers play the same audio.

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) option.

PIP SNAPSHOT Press FREEZE button to capture and freeze sub picture in PIP

or split mode. Press PIP button to enter PIP mode from another channel. Press EXIT button to remove PIP from the screen.

SECOND AUDIO Second Audio Programming (SAP) is another, separate, audio

channel 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.

SOURCE The term for the equipment that provides audio and video

information to your TV. Antenna, 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.

SURF This function created a customized list of your favorite channels.

You can access this group of channels with the surf button on the remote by pressing Surf repeatedly.

TEXT Arbitrary text not related to the program.

TUNER Any device that picks up broadcast signals and turns them into

picture and sound.
