INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
Before you install your TV...
Ventilation -- Proper ventilation keeps yourTV
running cool. Air circulates through perforations in the back and bottom of the cabinet. Do not
block these vents or you will shorten the life of
your TV.
Power Source -- Your TV is designed to operate
on normal household current, 120 volt 60 Hertz AC. Do not attempt to operate it on I)(2 current.
Power Cord -- Your power cord has a polarized plug as required by Underwriters' Laboratories. It
has one regular blade and one wide blade and fits only one way into a standard electrical outlet. If the blades will not enter either way, your outlet is very old and non-standard. A new outlet should be installed by a qualified electrician.
Safe Operation -- Your TV is manufactured and tested with your safety in mind. However, unusual stress caused by dropping or mishandling, expo-
sure to flood, fire, rain or moisture, or accidental spilling of liquids into the TV, can result in poten-
tial electrical shock or fire hazards. If this hap- pens, have your TV checked by a service technician before using it again.
PLEASE READ AND OBSERVE EACH SAFETY
POINT IN THE "SAFETY TIPS" FOLDER 'WHEN IN- STALLING AND USING YOUR TV.
VIDEO GAMES AND OTHER FIXED PATTERN DISPLAY CAUTION -- If you use your TV for
video games, teletext or other fixe:l displays, avoid setting the BRIGHTNESS control for an excessively bright picture. A
bright, fixed pattern, if used for long periods of time, can result in a permanent imprint on the TV picture tube. You can reduce this possibility by alternating the use of the fixed
pattern display with normal TV picture viewing, by turning down the CONTRAST control for sustained fixed pwLtern use, and by turning off the fixed pattern display when not in use.
PLUGGING IN YOUR TV --- Be sure to plug your TV into an "unswitched" AC power source. The "switched" AC out- lets fo_and on some video equipment will not continue supply- ing power to the TV once the equipment is turnecl off. If the power to the TV is interrupted, you will have to reset the clock
in the IN to the current time.

INTRODUCTION
METHODS OF OPERATION
Your new II---TT__[--_-TV is a very sophisticated appliance. Optional features, video picture adjustments and audio sound adjust- ments are performed through on-screen menus and displays. Self explanatory ICONS are used throughout. Most features can be se- lected and adjusted from the comfort of your favorite chair by using either of the infrared remote controls.
Either of two remote controls can be used to operate the TV. Use the multi-brand programmable remote if you have different brands and types of equipment in your video system which you need to control remotely. Use the Z-Trak progr;unmable remote if you feel
comfertable using track-ball access similar to that provided by the familiar computer mouse device. Many features can be selected and adjusted by using the control panel provided on the TV.
StarSight provides ',anelectronic programming guide which is updated with new scheduling information automatically on a periodic basis. StarSight allows you to rapidly scan through the programming guide to find a program for viewing or recording. Programs can be searched and selected by category if desired.

UNIVERSAL REMOTE CONTROL
INTRODUCTION
This universal remote control operates the common features of most, but not all, model,; and brands of IR (infrared) controlled TVs, VCRs, cable boxes, video disc players, and audio equipment. The remote may provide functions that are not available on your equip-
ment, e.g., menu operations. Some functions of optional equipment may not be controlled by this remote. In such cases, use the original remote control for your equipment.
BATTERY INSTALLATION
Batteries are provided, but must be installed before using the remote control. When it no longer functions normally, or when it loses memory, replace the batteries with two high-quality, alkaline, size AAA batteries. Match plus with plus (+ with +), minus with minus (- with -) in the battery compartment.
Unless your equipment responds to the factory preset codes, i.e.. 101 for "IN', 201 for VCR, 353 for CABLE, and 401 for
AUX., you will need to reprogram the remote with the codes of your particular equipment after you replace batteries.
NOTES: Ca Do not place heavy objects on top of the remote control
keys. Prolonged unintentional operation of the remote short-
ens battery life.
Cl Remove the batteries if the remote will not be used for a
month or more.
THE MANUFACTURER IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR
DAMAGE CAUSED BY BATTERY LEAKAGE.

2. Press and hold PRG with a small blunt object until the indicator lights (about three seconds).
3. Press TV, VCR, CABLE, or AUX to select the product you want your remote to control. (Use
('.ABLE or AUX, to program your remote for a second TV or VCR or to program your remote for a video disc player or audio equipment.)
4. Key in the three-digit code fc,r your equipment, then pres_,; ENTER/TUNE. The indicator light should
flash, then turn off to indicate that the code was accepted. If the indicator stays on, repeat steps 2, and 4
or try using a different code
5. Write the codes that operate your equipment on the label inside the battery compartment for fu_ture
reference.

PROGRAMMING YOUR Z-TRAK REMOTE
Your Z-Trak remote is already programmed to work with most Zenith VCR's. If you have a non-Zenith VCR, or if your Zenith VCR does not respond to your Z-Trak remote, you will need to program your remote as follows:
1. Refer to the table of VCR Codes, in this section of the guide. Locate the 3-digit number which corre- sponds to your brand of VCR.
2. ]Vlake sure your TV is turned on.
3. While pointing the Z-Trak remote towards your Zenith TV, simultaneously hold the MUTE and ]ENTER keys until the TV displays a VCR "Setup" screen (about three seconds). The VCR key will also light upon entering the Programming mode.
4. Notice that the current VCR brand code (initially "201") is displayed on the TV screen. Roll the track-
ball up or down (or use CHAN Up/Down) to choose the 3-digit number of your VCR.
5. When the correct 3-digit number is displayed on the
TV screem use the POWER key to make sure that your VCR turns on and off properly. If it does not respond, refer to the VCR Codes table to select a different 3-digit number.
6. If your VCR turns on and off successfully, press the
trackball (or ENTER) to save the current VCR brand code. The setup screen will disappear from theTV. Also, the VCR key will flash 3 times upon exiting
the Programming mode. The remote will be in the VCR mode.
7. Now try other controls on your VCR, such as Play, Rewind, etc., to make sure that the correc! VCR brand code number wasse]ected. (If not, repeat steps 3 to 7.)
8. The MUTE key can be pressed at any time: to cancel Programming mode. The original VCR brand code will remain unchanged.
NOTE" Only the VCR mode can be programmed.
9. The Z-Trak remote will exit Programming mode automatically after 60 seconds if no key press or trackball movement is detected.
AUTO FIND OPTION
If you have tried all 3-digit codes listed for your VCR manufac- turer, and none of them operate your VCR, you will need to try "AutoFind" to see if a different code will operate yc,ur VCR:
1. Make sure your VCR is tuined on.
2. Simultaneously hold the MUTE and ENTER keys until the VCR key lights up (about three seconds).

Wood Cabinets or Cabinet Components Use any good fur- niturecleaner and polish. Regular care will help preserve the
finish.
PICTURE GLASS (::LEANING
The picture tube face attracts dust particles and should be
cleaned regularly. To clean the face, spray a small amount of glass cleaner on a cleaning cloth and wipe the picture tube glass face until clean. Repeat if necessary.
To delay new dust accumulation, wet a soft cloth in lukewarm
water in which a little fabric softener or Ivory dishwashing de- tergent has been mixed. Wring the cloth almost dry. Wipe the glass face. Make sure no drops of moisture are squeezed onto
the glass. Do not wipe the glass dry. Allow the glass to air-dry
before you turn the TV on again.
EXTENDED ABSENCE
Before an extended absence (such as a vacation) you may want to unplug the power cord from the electrical wall outlet.

YOU SHOULD ALSO KNOW...
If no schedule data is found, you may be tuned to the wrong PBS station. Check the PB,'3station written on your StarSight Checklist and try again. Or, try tuning to a different PI3S station that is listed fo_"your area at the end of

Step 3. Checking Your StarSight Setup
If you do not have a VCR or Cable Box, proceed to number 4.
Now that you've activated StarSight, the final step is to test your equipment setup. Here's how:
le
Press ENTER/TUNE on your remote control when you see the "Congratulations !" message.
StarSight will now guide you through a series of on-screen displays. Please follow the instructions carefully. All you have to do is respond to the on-screen prompts. If you're using a VCR, you'll be prompted to insert a videotape that can be used for a 30-second recording test.
e
Find the Cable Box and VCR codes on your StarSight Checklist.
If you've listed more than one code for a given brand of Cable Box and VCR, don't worry: StarSight lets you test each code until the correct
one has been found.
Be sure the Remote Emitters you placed previously are positioned according to the instructions earlier in
this section.
.
o
Follow the on-screen instructions until you see a screen that says,: Congratulations!
If you have any difficulty finding the correct code or getting your VCR or Cable Box to respond, call the StarSight Help Desk at (800I 628-STAR.
Your StarSight System is now all set up and ready to collect program information. You'll begin to receive StarSight program information whenever your TV is turued off or turned to your PBS station. Initially, it will take between 4 and 12 hours to collect program information, so we recommend that you simply wait overnight. While your TV is off, it will gather the information that it needs. FolJowing this initial process, your system will automa.tically be updated with the latest program information any time your TV is turned off.
;:7 "
YOU SHOULD ALSO KNOW...
It is important that you:
Always be sure your TV set is plugged in.
Always leave your Cable Box ON, otherwise you risk losing your StarSight program information.
Be sure you leave your VCR OFF when it's not being used. If you forget to turn off your VC;R, a scheduled recording cannot occur.
It will normally take from 3 to 5 seconds for Cable Box channels to change. This is the time it takes for the Remote
Emitter's inlrared signal to communicate with your Cable Box.

Problem I've registered for StarSight but don't have any
program data yet.
The background color for the date and time are red.
There are some blank spots in StarSight's guides.
StarSight's list of channels does not match those that appear on my TV.
The entire show did not record.
I have a Cable Box, and want to watch one program while recording another.
I canceled the recordings of all episodes of a series, but new episodes for that same series are still being recorded.
A red question mark appears on a program title in the Recordings list.
I can't control my VCR with my remote control.
I can't see the videotape when playing back on
the VCR.
The program wasn't recorded.
My picture turns to "snow" when recording begins.
StarSight keeps playing a demonstration, and I want to stop it.
Try this
1. Make sure your TV is turned off or tuned to PBS in order to receive information. It may take anywhere from 4-12 hours to initially get the fifll 7 days of information. For best resu!tts wait overnight. Check the PBS channel for good picture.
2. If you have a cable box, nlake sure the cable box automatically tunes to the PBS channel when TV is turned off.
Your TV lost power momentarily. StarSight will correct the time and date when your TV is turned off for a few minutes.
StarSight may not have received all the program information. Your TV ,,_ill collect
program information whenever the TV is turned off. Call the StarSight Help Desk at 1-800-628-STAR, or fax corrections directl3; 1:o
I (800) 229-9640.
Make sure you have enough tape to record the whole program. StarSight records programs based upon the scheduled start and stop times. If a program may run overtime, you should extend the end time of your recording. (See the section "Current Recording" or "Future Recording".)
While a recording is in progress, change your source to "ANT/CABLE 2" to watch a different non-scrambled program
You must cancel the whole series from :the Series to be Recorded list. See the section "Series Recordings List".
