grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding
electrode.

15. Lightning

For added protection for this product (receiver) during a
lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused
for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and
disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent
damage to the product due to lightning and power-line
surges.

16. Power Lines

An outside antenna system should not be located in the
vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or
power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or
circuits. When installing an outside antenna system,
extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such
power lines or circuits as contact with them might be
fatal.

restore the product to its normal operation.

e. If the product has been dropped or the cabinet has
been damaged.

f. If the product exhibits a distinct change in

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 feature can “block” undesirable programming from appearing on the TV.

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 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 Entertainment Machine 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 the TV will be 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.

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 27.

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.
