MAC: Macintosh Environment

Setting your computer for optimum picture output in the Macintosh operating system environment

The following is a step-by-step procedure for setting your
computer picture output to optimum display quality.

1. Plug in your computer to the Presentation TV. Turn on
the TV and then the COMPUTER.

2. Open your CONTROL PANEL by choosing under the
APPLE icon or by clicking on your HARD DRIVE icon. If
you choose the HARD DRIVE icon, you’ll have to open
your CONTROL PANEL through the SYSTEMS FOLDER.

3. Once you have located the CONTROL PANEL, click on
VIEWS. This is where you will make changes for
Presentation display.

4. Change the FONT to one that is appears well on a tele­vision. We would suggest that you use TIMES BOLD. Now,
change the FONT SIZE to 18 or better.

Each time that you use the TV with your computer, you
will simply change the FONT and SIZE through the CON­TROL PANEL and VIEW. You have now changed the
appearance of all your folders but NOT your applications.

VIEWING FOR PRESENTATION Vs. PRIVATE

1. When viewing an application, such as EXCEL or WORD,
you will have to change the appearance of each applica­tion.

2. Once the application has been opened, just change the
view from 100 percent to a selection over 150 percent.
This will not permanently effect your document. Once
you have completed your presentation, simply reduce the
size back down to 100 percent viewing ratio.

3. To enlarge the ICONS of the application, click on VIEW
and then select TOOLBARS. Slide down and highlight
CUSTOMIZE with your mouse, then click.

4. A file folder will now “pop-up”. Now selection
OPTIONS and then click on LARGE ICONS. This will only
enlarge the ICONS on your menu palette. Due to a less
flexible platform, you will not be able to effect the
fonts/size on the Menu Bar.

The Zenith TV is a high quality, low cost alternative to a
true SVGA monitor.

Parental Control Menu

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 Guidelines 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 add 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, then choose allowable ratings.

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.

If used, this optional feature can “block” undesirable programming from appearing on the TV.
Note: Parental Control is not available in Computer Mode. To block Computer inputs, use the block AUX
SOURCES option in the Parental Control menu in TV Mode; computer inputs will not be available.

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 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.

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. 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 on the ages of children.

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 it on.

1. Use a soft cloth with a mild soap solution to wipe the cabinet. (Avoid using 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 Presentation 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 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.

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 power cord before you begin any cleaning.
