HOW TO USE YOUR OPERATING GUIDE

THIS OPERATING GUIDE DESCRIBES A FAMILY OF TV MODELS. SOME MODELS HAVE FEATURES THAT

INTRODUCTION

WELC OM E

Welcome into the lmnily of Zenith Color Television owners.

This guide provides instructions on how to operate your
new TV. It is supplemented by a booklet containing Safety
Tips. We urge you to read these publications carefully so
that you will receive full enjoyment from your new Zenith

TV for many years to come.
Your new TV has been designed and built to give you the

very best in quality, features and performance. There are
many regional Zenith distributors and thousands of distribu-
tor-approved Zenith service centers throughout the U.S.,
Canada and Mexico who can attend promptly and effec-
tively to ordinary service needs.

If you should have an unusual performance or service problem

that cannot be satisfactorily resolved by your distributor-
approved Zenith service center, contact the regional Zenith
distributor in your area, or write:

Zenith Electronics Corporation

Customer Service Department

1900 N. Austin Avenue
Chicago, Illinois 60639-5079
Telephone: [phone]
Mon-Fri, 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Central Time

Send the model number, serial number, and datc of pro-
chase or original installation, with a full explanation of the
problem and the service history. We will welcome the op-
portunity to look into your specific question or problem and
to be of assistance in resolving it promptly.

The model and serial numbers of your new TV are located on
the back of the TV cabinet. For your future convenience and
protection, we suggest that you record these numbers here:
ModelNo.

Serial No.

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

Before you install your TV...
Ventilation -- Proper ventilation keeps your TV
running cool. Air circulates through perfora-

tions in the back and bottom of the cabinet. Do

not block these vents or you will shorten the life
of your TV.
Power Source -- Your TV isdesigned to operate
on normal household current, 120volt 60 Hertz
AC. Do not attempt to operate it on DC current.

Power Cord -- Your power cord has a polar-

ized plug as required by Underwriters' Labora-
tories. It has one regular blade and one wide
blade and fits only one way into a standard elec-
trical outlet. If the blades will not enter either
way, your outlet is very old and non-

standard. A new outlet should be installed by a
qualified electrician.

Safe Operation -- Your TV is manufactured

and tested with your safety in mind. However,
unusual stress caused by dropping or mishan-

dling, exposure to flood, fire, rain or moisture,

or accidental spilling of liquids into the TV, can

result in potential electrical shock or fire haz-
ards. lfthis happens, have your TV checked by
a service technician before using it again.

Please read and observe each safety point in the "Safety

Tips" folder when installing and using your TV.
FIXED PATTERN DISPLAY CAUTION -- If you use your

TV for video games, teletext or other fixed displays, avoid
setting the BRIGHTNESS control for an excessively bright
picture. A bright, fixed pattern, if used for long periods of

time, can result in a permanent imprint on the TV picture
tube. You can reduce this possibility by alternating the use
of the fixed pattern display with normal TV picture viewing,
by turning down the CONTRAST control for sustained
fixed pattern use, and byturning offthe fixed pattern dis-
playwhen not in use.

PIP OPERATION AND CONNECTIONS

PIP (PICTURE-IN-PICTURE) OVERVIEW

Your Zenith TV nmst be connected to a video component
such as a VCR in order to view a different picture in the PlP
inset. This video component must be connected to one of the
TV's video/audio input jacks (VIDEO I IN or VIDEO 2 IN)
by using Audio/Video cables.

The most common use of PIP is to view two diflercm chan-
nels; one from the TV tuner and the other from the VCR tune_.
For example, you can view two sporting events or two movies

at the same time.

TYPICAL CONNECTIONS

Option 1: Antenna or Direct Cable Connection
This illustration shows the basic connection of your TV to a

stereo VCR. Using this connection, you arecapable of the fol-
lowing operation:

• You may select ANT/CABLE 1 for main picture source to
view channels tuned by the TV's channel selector.
Simultaneously, you may select VIDEO 1 for PIP source to
view -- in the PIP inset -- a tape playing in the VCR or a
different channel tuned by the VCR's channel selector.
(VCR's TV/VCR button must be set to TV.)

Sources may also be swapped. In other words, VIDEO 1 ma},

be the main picture source and ANT/CABLE 1 the PiP

source.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

CARING FOR YOUR TV

Your TV will look better, have a longer life and perlb='mbetter
if you care for it properly.

First check to see that the TV is off. For added

_ afety, unplug the TV from the power outlet.

NOTE: If you unplug your TV, you will have to
reset the clock to the current time.

Cabinet Care

Non-Wood Cabinet or Cabinet Components.

Moisten a soft cloth with a mild soap solution or Ivory dish-
washing detergent. Wipe the surface with a damp cloth. Then
rinse the cloth in clean water and wipe the surface again. Al-

low the TV to air-dry before turning it on.

Picture Glass Cleaning
The picture tube face attracts dust particles and should be

cleaned regularly. To clean the face, spray a small amount of
glass cleaner on a cleaning cloth and wipe the picture tube
glass face until clean. Repeat if necessary.

To delay new dust accumulation, wet a soft cloth in lukewarm
water in which a little fabric softener or Ivory dishwashing de-

tergent has been mixed. Wring the cloth almost dry. Wipe the

glass face. Make sure no drops of moisture are squeezed onto
the glass. Do not wipe the glass dry. Allow the glass to air-dry
before you turn the TV on again.

Wood Cabinets or Cabinet Components.
Use any good fumiture cleaner and polish. Regular care will

help preserve the finish.

EXTENDED ABSENCE

Before an extended absence (such as a vacation) you may
want to unplug the power cord from the electrical wall outlet.
This will protect the TV from possible damage from lightning
or power line surges. If you have an outdoor antenna, you may

also want to disconnect the antenna lead-in wires on the back
of the TV.

NOTE: If you unplug your TV, you will have to resct tile
clock to the current time.

TV PICTURE INTERFERENCE

Your TV picture may be affected by interference caused by
one or a number of factors. These include:

Nearby Automobile Ignition, Electrical Appliances, etc.

Which causes a speckled, streaked picture. This is most notice-
able in weak signal areas.

Snow in Picture Caused by insufficient signal. Usually
caused by the TV being located too far from the TV station or
by an improper antenna installation.

Ghosts or Reflections Caused by signals being rcllcctcd
from surrounding buildings, water tanks, or other high struc-

tures.

Radio Signal Police, amateur or CB radio transmitters may
cause interference.

These interference problems can often be corrected through
the use of a better antenna, signal amplifiers, or various filter
devices. See your TV dealer for additional information, and

available TV accessories.

YOUR ZENITH WARRANTY

Consumer Protection Plan for Zenith TV

Welcome into the Zenith family! We believe that you will be

pleased with your new Zenith Color TV. Please readthis Con-
sumer Protection Plan carefully. It is a "LIMITED WAR-
RANTY" as defined under Federal Law. This warranty gives
you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights
that vary from state to state within the U.S.A.

Zenith's Responsibility
Service Labor --During a period of 90 days from effective

warranty date, Zenith will pay for service labor by a U.S. or
Canadian distributor-approved Zenith service center when
needed as a result of manufacturing defects.

Parts -- New or remanufactured replacements for factory-defec-
tive parts will be supplied by a U.S. or Canadian
distributor-approved service center for one year from effective
warranty date (color picture tube -- two years). Such replace-
ment parts are warranted for the remaining portion of the original
warranty period.

Home Service -- Warranty service for 19" diagonal (U.S.A.)
or larger screen size models is provided in the home.
Not Covered -- This warranty covers manufacturing defects
and does not cover installation, adjustment of customer con-
trols in the home, installation or repair of home antenna sys-
tems, cable converters or cable company-supplied equipment;
it also does not cover damage due to misuse, abuse, negli-
gence, acts of God or other causes beyond the control of
Zenith. Any alteration of the product after manufacture voids
this warranty in its entirety.

Owner's Responsibility
Effective Warranty Date -- Warranty begins on the date ot

original consumer installation. For your convenience, keep the
dealers dated bill of sale or delivery ticket as evidence of the
purchase date.

Operating Guide -- Read your Operating Guide carefully so

that you will understand the operation of your set and how to

adjust the customer controls.
Carry-In Service --Models under 19" diagonal (U.S.A.)

screen size must be taken to a distributor-approved Zenith
service center for warranty service and must be picked up by

the owner.

Antenna -- Reception problems caused by inadequate home
antennas or faulty antenna connections are the owner's respon-
sibility.

Important: Product Registration -- Please fill out and mail
your Product Registration Card. It is imperative that Zenith
know how to reachyou promptly if we should discover a

safety problem that could affect you.
Warranty Service -- For warranty service information, con-

tact your Zenith dealer preferably, or any distributor-

approved Zenith service center. Parts and service labor that are
Zenith's responsibility (see above) will be provided without
charge. Other service is at the owner's expense. If you have
any problem in obtaining satisfactory warranty service, write:
