There are four jacks on the front of your Entertainment Machine that make connecting Audio/Video equipment like video games and camcorders very simple.

The jacks are located behind a small door to the right of the buttons on the front panel.

The jacks are identical to those found 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 button on your remote. To change the name of the Front Video source, see page 29.

Digital Setup

Your Zenith Projection TV has three color projection tubes: one for red, one for green, one for blue. When mixed together in the proper proportion, the output of these three color tubes can produce any color. To produce these colors, however, the beams must be precisely aligned over each other so that the colors can be mixed. The process of aligning these picture beams is called “convergence”.

Over a period of time, the picture tubes can drift out of alignment due to normal bumps and vibrations or moving the TV. If you move your TV, or if, after a time, you notice color rings or halos around objects in the picture, you may want to converge (align) the colors.

Properly converged, the lines appear white, which is actually a combination of the outputs of the three color tubes. The output of the green tube is stationary. The outputs of the red and blue tubes can be adjusted. When properly aligned, the outputs of all three tubes should be directly over each other to produce the white lines.

To simplify convergence, Zenith incorporates a feature to allow you to display a test pattern of horizontal and vertical lines at one location on the screen. Simply use the remote control to adjust the red and blue colors to match the green. When properly aligned, the outputs of all three tubes should be directly over each other to produce the white lines.

To enter this adjustment mode, press the front panel DIGITAL SETUP button.

SETUP

Flashes Red

Flashes Blue

Press the ARROW buttons on the remote control to move the displayed color up, down, left, or right. (Press the QUIT button to toggle between red and blue.)

Press MENU on the remote control to change the color you want to adjust.

Press the front panel DIGITAL SETUP button or the remote control MENU button when adjustment is done. This will save your adjustment into memory.

NOTES: Only a momentary press of the DIGITAL SETUP button is necessary to enter DIGITAL SETUP convergence adjustment mode.

Do not press the DIGITAL SETUP button for more than three seconds. To save your adjustment data into memory, press the front panel DIGITAL SETUP button or the remote control MENU Button.

If you do NOT wish to save your adjustment data into memory, turn the TV OFF. When the TV is turned ON again, your old convergence data will be restored.

To exit this function, press DIGITAL SETUP on the front panel of your Entertainment Machine.

Picture-In-Picture Overview

Main Picture Picture-in-Picture

YOUR PICTURE-IN-PICTURE FEATURE

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 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 remote. 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 through the Source selection on your remote.

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, or 2 and you can watch the VCR and TV, swapping between the two.

Picture-In-Picture Overview

SINGLE MODE PIP

Press the PIP button on your remote to activate the PIP display. This display appears in one corner of the screen. Press PIP again to remove the display from the screen.

Use the PIP Ch button on your remote to switch between main picture and PIP inset display channel tuning control.

• Main Picture channel tuning: Channels are tuned for the main screen.

• PIP Inset Display channel tuning: Channels are tuned for the PIP inset. Note: Available for Antenna 1-2 sources.

Press the SOURCE button on your remote when PIP display is active to change PIP source from VID1, VID2, FRT. VID, and ANT 1 antenna source.

SURF MODE PIP

Press the PIP button on your remote. Press the “Surf” button to see three PIP insets. Surf will scan all active channel numbers and display them as PIP displays.

Press PIP again to remove PIP displays from screen.

NOTES: If Parental Control Ratings are locked, it will disable multiple PIP insets (SURF mode PIP).

PIP Functions

PIP SWAP

Press the SWAP button on your remote to switch between the PIP display and the main picture.

PIP MOVE

If you wish to move the PIP display to another part of your screen other than the corners, simply activate the PIP display, wait about eight seconds and then move the PIP display with the UP/DOWN and LEFT/RIGHT arrow buttons on your remote.

PIP FREEZE

With PIP displayed, press the FREEZ button on your remote to freeze the PIP display.

Pressing FREEZ with PIP off will automatically bring up a PIP display with the Main Picture screen frozen at that point.

PIP STROBE

To activate the “Strobe” feature of your PIP display, Press FREEZ to bring the PIP window on the screen.

Press the “Surf” button on your remote control. You will see three PIP displays of a single scene separated by 1/10 of a second in time. This feature is useful for viewing a moving picture that has many details. For example, a close play in a sport event or a golf swing.

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.

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 Clock Set menu described earlier.

Maintenance

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 power cord before you begin any cleaning.
