Front Audio/Video Jacks

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 beside the buttons on the front panel.

The jacks are like those found in the jack pack on the back of your Entertainment Machine. This means that most 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 Screen Source menu as described on page 30. They will be named “Front Video” in the Screen Source menu.

When you choose Front Video or Front S-Video, the audio is automatically changed as well.

If you’re connecting a video game unit, make sure to change the picture settings with the Video Preset option in the Video menu (see page 38).

DTV Antenna Hookup

	3	Turn to pages 26-27 to activate EZ Program
		for your analog signal and to tune your DTV
		antenna.

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.

If you wish to use your antenna to receive both analog and digital signals, you will need to purchase a signal splitter. Please see onscreen setup guide on the following page.

Cable Box

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 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 selection on your remote.

Room Setups for Home Theater

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

A left and right speaker on either side of the set enhances separation. The Entertainment Machine “center mode in,” makes the dialog sound as thought 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.

left								right
speaker								speaker
					sub-woofer

surround	surround

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.
