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.

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.

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.

To receive premium channels, run
Auto Program on the second source
that is set to receive channels.

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.

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.

Maintenance

1. 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.

2. Make sure the excess water is off the screen, and then let it air-dry before you turn on your
Entertainment Machine.

1. Use a soft cloth with a mild soap solution to wipe the cabinet.

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 Entertainment Machine from dirt and
dust, as well as keep the cabinet looking new.

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.

SCREEN CLEANING

EXTENDED ABSENCE

CABINET CLEANING

WOOD CABINETS

Early malfunctions can be prevented. 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.

Maintenance cont’d

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.

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.

VIDEO GAMES AND OTHER FIXED-PATTERN DISPLAYS

PICTURE INTERFERENCE

If you unplug your Entertainment Machine, you may have to reset the clock using the Time menu
described earlier.

Missing Secret code

Some quick and easy tips to fixing problems yourself.

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.

• 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.

• If you forget the secret code, press the remote control Button ‘7’, ‘7’, ‘7’ and ‘7’
when the display asks you to enter the secret code.

•Look to see if the TV/VCR button on your VCR has the TV selected or change the

PIP to another source.

• Make sure the time was set initially. Probably power was lost.

Glossary

A complete list of definitions for words found in this guide.

75 OHM RF CABLE The round cable that comes from an off-air antenna or cable service

provider. Each end looks like a hex shaped nut with a wire sticking through
the middle, and it screws onto the threaded jack on the back of your TV.

A/V CABLES Audio/Video cables. Three cables - Right audio (red), Left audio (white),

and Video (yellow). A/V cables are used for stereo playback of videocas­settes and for higher quality picture and sound from other A/V devices.

A/V DEVICE Any device that produces video or sound (VCR, DVD, cable box,

or television).

ADD This function lets you add new channels to the list that you’ll scroll

through when using your remote.

AMPLIFIER An external device that amplifies sound from a television, CD player, VCR,

DVD or other A/V device.

ANALOG TV Traditional method of representing a television signal as a replica (analog)

of the original picture and sound.

ANTENNA The physical receiver of television signals sent over the air. A large metal

piece of equipment does not always have to be visible for your home to be
using an antenna.

ASPECT RATIO The ratio of the horizontal dimension to the vertical dimension of a pic-

ture. Standard television in the U.S. today is generally transmitted and dis­played in a 4:3 aspect ratio. High-Definition television will normally be
formatted in a wider aspect ratio, assumed to be 16:9.

CAPTIONS A form of subtitling that writes out the dialog for your program.

CONVERGENCE This option lets you correct for color separation in your picture.

DELETE This function lets you remove channels that you don’t watch from the list

you’ll scroll through.

DIGITAL TV A new method of representing television signal as a series of binary num-

bers (1s and 0s). This method allows for the signal to be manipulated to
eliminate redundancy to dramatically increase picture and sound quality.

DOLBY DIGITAL Dolby Digital Cinema Sound is made possible by a new digital coding tech-

nique called Dolby AC-3. Dolby AC-3 produces high-quality, 5.1 channel
surround sound which is six discrete separate channels for a full range of
sound. Each channel can carry a different signal simultaneously (front cen­ter, front left, front right, surround left, surround right and subwoofer).

GEMSTAR GUIDE Plus+ GOLD

Premium electronic program guide that uses an easy-to-read grid guide
system for channel navigation. On-screen display has full color channel
logos, station call letters, 3D graphics, horizontal scrolling, direct tuning
access through the grid and theme color coding.

INPUT Refers to the jack that receives a signal into the TV, VCR or other

A/V device.

Glossary (cont’d)

JACK A connection on the back of a TV, VCR, or any other A/V

device. This includes the RF jacks and the Audio/Video jacks
that are color-coded.

MODE The mode determines the type of device (TV, VCR, Cable, Aux)

that the remote is controlling.

MONO SOUND Mono (monaural) sound is one channel of sound. On more

than one speaker all the speakers play the same audio.

OUTPUT Refers to the jack that sends a signal out of a VCR, DVD, or

other A/V device.

PIP This is the most common way to refer to the Picture-In-Picture

(PIP) option.

PIP SNAPSHOT Press to capture and freeze main picture within large PIP

frame. Press a second time and receive normal PIP from anoth­er channel. Press again to remove PIP from the screen.

SECOND AUDIO Second Audio Programming (SAP) is another, separate, audio

channel available with some programming. Choosing SAP often
refers to listening to audio in another language, such as
Spanish or French.

SIGNAL Picture and sound traveling through cable, or on the air, to

your television screen.

SOURCE The term for the equipment that provides audio and video

information to your Entertainment Machine. Antenna, VCR,
DVD players, or Cable Boxes are examples of sources.

STEREO SOUND Stereo (stereophonic) sound refers to audio that’s divided into

right and left sides.

SURF This function creates a customized list of your favorite chan-

nels. You can access this group of channels by pushing the
surf button on the remote.

TEXT Arbitrary text not related to the program.

TUNER Any device that picks up broadcast signals and turns them into

picture and sound.

VCR PLUS+ C Designed especially for use on cable systems that require a

decoder box. Entering the PlusCode of the desired program
automatically turns on most cable boxes (and some DBS
receivers), tunes it and the VCR to the correct channels, and
sets the timer for virtually foolproof recording.
