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

run EZ Scan to check for all available
channels and store them in memory.
This can be combined with any other
equipment you may want
to hook up. Hook cable directly into the

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.

COMPONENT VIDEO Some video equipment uses three separate lines (Y, Pb, Pr) to more precisely reproduce images. Your manual will explain how
this relates to your equipment.
Find the audio and composite or
S-Video jacks on the back of your
DVD Player and connect them following the instructions provided
with your equipment.
You may connect either the composite video or the S-Video cables
to your Entertainment Machine.
Do not connect both the composite and the S-Video.

Some high-end DVD players use
a picture reproduction system
called “component video.” If
your DVD player has component
output, use the connectors
marked “COMPONENT INPUT1”
on the jack panel. Please refer
to your DVD manual for proper
installation.

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.

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.
