There are four jacks on the front of your Entertainment Machine that make connecting Audio/Video devices like video games and camcorders very simple.
The jacks are located behind a small door below the buttons on the front panel.
The jacks are like those found in the jack pack on the back of your Entertainment Machine. Which means that any equipment that connects to those types of jacks in the rear jack pack, can also be connected in front.
To use the front jacks as the signal source, use the Source menu as described on page
22. They will be named “Frnt Video” and “Frnt S-Video” in the Source menu, but if you are using something else, and don’t want to get confused, change the name under the Source ID (see page 31).

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, set the channel number on your cable box to HBO, CINEMAX, SHOWTIME, etc. Then go to the Source menu and select the Antenna/Cable 1 source. See your Quick Setup Sheet, included with this operating guide for more information. See page 22 for information regarding Source Menus.
To view the non premium channels go to the Source Menu and select Antenna/Cable 2. Then run Channel Search to check for all available channels and store them in its memory.
This can be combined with any other equipment you may want to hook up. Hook cable directly into the TV, then to the cable box. From there, the cable box goes to the next device, down the line, until the last piece, which connects back to the TV in the Antenna/Cable 1 jack.

Some cable services require the use of a cable box to decode premium channels and pay-per-view. Using the Loop Out to Decoder option, and programming your remote, you can connect your cable box so that you only need your MBR Trakball remote to control all the channels. By connecting cable directly to your Entertainment Machine, then running it out to the cable box and back, you make the cable box another source to choose from in the Source menu (see page 22).

This is just a general room design. Any number of set-ups are possible, and some changes may be needed to maximize your sound.
A left and right speaker on either side of the Entertainment Machine will create a phantom “center channel,” making the dialog sound as though it’s coming directly from the Entertainment Machine. 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 on or off the internal speakers.
If your surround sound system is on, but there’s no sound from the speakers, the program you’re watching might not be broadcast in surround sound.
NOTE: The picture for the IQA36A46W will be different than the one shown. However, the setup will be the same.

To watch TV on antenna, cable, a VCR, DVD or any other piece of equipment, you have to make sure you’ve set your Entertainment Machine to the correct source. Check page 22 to see how to use the Source menu. The current source is displayed on the top line of the Channel/Time display. It will show a channel number if the source is Ant/Cable 1 or 2, and read the name of the source (such as VCR) for anything else.
Click the Ch. Up/Ch. Down text to move through the channels, or use the CHANNEL UP/DOWN arrows on your remote to move through your channel list.
Skip to a specific channel by clicking on the ALL CH text and then double-clicking on a number, or by entering the number of the channel on the NUMBER KEYPAD on your remote.
To instantly return to the last channel you were watching, click FLSHBK, or press the FLSHBK button on your remote.
This is while the source is set to Ant/Cable 1 or 2. For any other source, such as a VCR or DVD player, the Main Picture channel changing will be controlled by that equipment.
Click on any part of the Volume bar to jump to that sound level, or click on the small arrows to move in small increments. You can also use the VOLUME RIGHT/LEFT buttons on your remote to adjust the volume level.
Clicking once on the Speaker Icon in the Volume display will put your Entertainment Machine into SOFT MUTE. Clicking again will MUTE it completely, and once more will bring the sound back. Or, using the buttons on your remote, press MUTE once to reduce the sound level to the SOFT MUTE level. Press once more to completely MUTE the sound. Press again to return to full sound level.

The Picture-In-Picture (PIP) function allows you to put a smaller picture, called the “inset,” on the bigger screen, or the “main” picture. Don’t want to miss any of the big game, but hate commercials? Just put the game in the inset, and surf with the main picture.
2-TUNER PIP FEATURE
Normally, you would need some other piece of equipment, like a VCR, to act as a tuner to receive and display a second channel at the same time. Your Entertainment Machine eliminates that need by giving you two tuners in one TV. PIP is always available, no matter what equipment you have.
WORKING WITH PIP
This is where your MBR Trakball remote is put to the most use. All of the functions PIP has are accessible through the menus that pop up on-screen when you use your Trakball. There’s more about that on the following page.
Just like your Entertainment Machine’s main screen, PIP will need a source to take its image from. When you set the main screen source to Antenna/Cable 1 or 2, the PIP source will automatically set to that as well. You can adjust and/or request a different source under the Source menu (see page 22).
PIP SNAPSHOT
This feature enables you to freeze the main image into the PIP frame or view another image in the PIP frame with the touch of a button.
POSSIBLE REASONS FOR ADJUSTING PIP SOURCE
1. You use a cable box to receive premium channels, and have it “looped out” on the back of the TV. Set the PIP source to the cable box source, and the Inset will display the premium channels, which can then be swapped with the main picture.
2. You want to watch a video tape, but keep scanning for another movie or game. Set the PIP source to VIDEO 1, 2, or 3 and you can watch the VCR and TV, swapping between the two.
Picture-in-Picture Main Picture
You cannot have the Main Source from Ant/Cable 1 and the PIP source in Ant/Cable 2 or vice versa. PIP must be the same Ant/Cable source as the main or one of the video sources.

PIP This is the most common way to refer to the Picture-In-Picture (PIP) option.
Click on your PIP Menu icon in the menu display.
Select Size in the menu by clicking on it once.
Click on it again and a display will appear at the bottom of your screen. You have two sizes available for the PIP inset picture: Small and Large.
Click on the size you want your PIP inset to be. The inset will appear and change size to show you the difference, even if the PIP has not been turned on.
To return to the menu and adjust the other options, Contrast and Tint, click on EXIT. Click on the regular screen to return to normal viewing. The PIP will then disappear if it has not been turned on.
Note: Contrast and Tint are adjusted the same as they are in the Video Menu, only now they affect the PIP inset image. See Video Menu page 36.
All the rest of the PIP options are available using your Trakball. See page 38 for a full description.

Some functions of PIP can also be controlled using the Channel/Time display.
Turn PIP on. Click the Trakball once, and roll the pointer to the right side of the screen.
The display will be in two parts. The highlighted part will indicate the mode you’re in (Main or PIP). Click on the darkened part to change to operating the other mode.
If the bottom section (PIP) is highlighted, you’ll be changing stations in the PIP inset. To change stations on the main picture, highlight the top half before changing channels.
Instead of going to the Audio Swap option in the PIP/Features Menu, simply click on the small musical note icon on the left of the Channel/Time display. The note that is highlighted tells you which audio you are listening to.
You can be listening to the PIP audio, but still changing the main picture’s channel.

OPERATION REMOTE PAGE 41
Using your MBR Trakball Buttons
3357-o
Using the buttons on your remote to control your Entertainment Machine.
You can use most of the options on your Entertainment Machine by pressing various buttons.
MENUS
Pressing the MENU button repeatedly will cycle you through all the available menus that control your Entertainment Machine’s settings.
Once in a menu, you can select an item by pressing the UP/DOWN arrows to highlight one. Then, to modify that option, you can choose it by pressing a RIGHT/LEFT arrow.
Changing labels and I.D.s require modifying options from a blue-screen menu. In these menus all four of the arrow buttons will move the cursor around the screen. Pressing FLSHBK will cycle through options where the screen indicates.
Pressing ENTER will leave your current menu, and bring up the Time/Channel Display. QUIT will leave the current menu, and take everything off your screen.
SURF
The SURF button on your remote will cycle you through your four surf menus.
The current Surf list will appear in the Surf display in lower right of your screen. Surf 1-4 means that your channel changing using the channel up or down will be limited to the channels that have been chosen for your Surf list. When the list display reads No Surfing, then all added channels will be available for you to choose from when channeling up or down.
MODE
Your remote control can operate up to five different pieces of equipment. These are called its “modes.” When you are using the remote to operate your Entertainment Machine, it is in TV mode, VCR mode when operating your VCR, and so on. There are modes avail­able to control two “Auxiliary” items. This is for an external stereo sys­tem, or simply more VCRs, a DVD, Laserdisc, or any other piece of home theater.
You can change the current mode by pressing either left or right on the MODE button. An indicator will light to show you the current mode.
VCR/DVD FUNCTIONS
The buttons at the very bottom of your remote correspond to functions for your Zenith VCR or DVD. The remote has already been programmed with the code that operates most Zenith VCRs, so you can use those buttons without have to go through the programming process. For any other brand, refer to page 43 to see how to program new codes.

Machine.
Maintenance
3357-o
SCREEN CLEANING
1 Spray a small amount of glass cleaner on a soft cloth and wipe the screen until it’s clean.
2. 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.
3. Make sure the excess water is off the screen, and then let it air-dry before you turn on your Entertainment Machine.
CABINET CLEANING
1. Use a soft cloth with a mild soap solution to wipe the cabinet (avoid using any cleaner that says ”industrial strength“ on the label.
2. Rinse the cloth and wipe the cabinet again.
3. Let the cabinet air-dry before turning the Entertainment Machine on.
EXTENDED ABSENCE
If you leave your Entertainment Machine 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 Entertainment Machine before leaving.
PICTURE INTERFERENCE
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 Entertainment Machine, consult the Troubleshooting guide on the following pages.
VIDEO GAMES AND OTHER FIXED-PATTERN DISPLAYS
If you use your Entertainment Machine 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 sitting for too long, they can leave a permanent impression on the picture tube. 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 or using the Game preset.
CLEANING THE TRAKBALL
Sometimes the Trakball gets greasy or dirty, which can affect it’s performance. To clean it, moisten a cloth with a solution of dish washing detergent and water. Gently wipe the exposed area of the Trakball, rolling it with your thumb. Allow the remote to dry before using it again.
NOTE: Do NOT use alcohol or other “cleaning fluids” anywhere on the remote control.
If you unplug your Entertainment Machine, you may have to reset the clock using the Clock Set menu described earlier.
Careful and regular cleaning can extend the amount of time you will have with your new Entertainment Machine. Be sure to turn the power off and pull out the plug before you begin any cleaning.

SYMPTOMS
Snowy picture and unclear sound.
Multiple images or ‘ghost shadows.’
Interference: Sharp lines across the screen and lousy 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.

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 Entertainment Machine 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 Entertainment Machine 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 Entertainment Machine.
• 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.(See page 25).
• 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. Trust us.

REFERENCE FEATURES PAGE 51
Here are a few features that make your Entertainment Machine more fun to use.
Special Features
3357-o
ADVANCED SURF
In addition to your normal channel listing, you can customize up to four different channel lists to fit different members of your family: movie channels for the kids, the sports chan­nel for Dad, etc. See page 23 to set up surf channel lists and page 32 to customize the names of your channel lists.
PIP SNAPSHOT
With the press of a button you can freeze the image from your main screen into a large PIP inset. Pressing the button a second time enables normal PIP viewing. Pressing the button a third time removes PIP from the main screen. See pages 37-39.
AUTOMATIC TIME SET
You can have your Entertainment Machine read a signal sent over PBS broadcasts, and set the time and date automatically. See page 24.
CHANNEL LABELS
Instead of leaving it up to channel numbers to let you know what you’re watching, you can choose labels for the various channels (HBO, CNN, ABC, etc.). You can also let the Entertainment Machine use the labels that some stations broadcast themselves. See Channel Labels, page 30.
SOURCE ID CUSTOMIZING
If you have a number of other pieces hooked up to your Entertainment Machine, instead of trying to remember the name of the jack you hooked them up to, just refer to page 31 to customize the name of the equipment as it shows up under the Source Menu or on your Channel/Time display.
PARENTAL CONTROL
Using a password-protection system, parents can block a channel that they don’t want their kids to be watching. See page 33.
2-TUNER PIP
Televisions require to a tuner to turn signals into watchable programs. Conventional TV’s only have one tuner, and require another machine, such as a VCR, to receive another set of signals to use Picture-In-Picture. Your Entertainment Machine has a second tuner built right in, so there is no need to rely on other equipment for your PIP display. See PIP overview on page 37.
AUTO DEMO
To familiarize yourself with the layout of all your menu options and choices, Auto Demo can be turned on. It will cycle through all the menus, displaying them on your screen for a few seconds. See page 34.
