Front Audio/Video Jacks

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

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 side.

To use the side jacks as the signal source, use the Main Source menu as described on page 28. They will be named “Front Video” in the Main 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 EZ Video option in the Video menu (see page 43).

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.

For best performance, have your Antenna professionally adjusted.

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.

	1	Locate the Antenna/Cable 2 jack on the
		back of your TV. Connect the cable that
		runs from the wall directly to the jack.
		Now find the Loop Out jack.

EZ LINK (On-Screen Guide)

The EZ Link is to link the Zenith’s READY TV (Model : IQD61W20) and Zenith’s high definition set top box for DIRECTV via a RS-232C cable. After installing the EZ Link, you can control a set top box for the DIRECTV with a remote control of the Zenith’s READY TV. As a result, only one remote control will be used for both a READY TV and a set top box with the EZ Link on.

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

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.
