WELCOME
Welcome into the family 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 Zenith projection 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
distributor-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 dis-
tributor in your area, or write:
Zenith Electronics Corporation
Customer Servi,:zeDepartment
1000 Milwaukee Avenue
Glenview, IL 6(1625-2493
Telephone: (847) 391-8752
Mon-Fri, 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Central Time
Send the model number, serial number, and date of purchase
or original installation, with a full explanation of the problem
and the service history. We will welcome,,the opportunity to
look into your specific question or problem and to be of assis-
tance in resolving it promptly.

tion, we suggest that you recorJ these numbers here:
Model No.

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
Before you install your TV...
Ventilation -- Proper ventilation keeps your TV
running cool. Air circulates through perforations
in the back and bottom of the cabinet. Do not
block these vents or you will shorten the life of
your TV.
_.iPower Source Your TV is designed to
operate
u
on normal household current, 120 volt 60 Hertz AC.
Do not attempt to operate it on DC current.
Power Cord -- Your power cord has a polarized
plug as required by Underwriters' Laboratories. It
has one regular blade and one wide blade and fits
only one way into a standard electrical 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 mishandling, expo-
sure to flood, fire, rain or moisture, or accidental
spilling of liquids into the TV, can result in poten-
tial electrical shock or fire hazards. If this hap-
pens, have your TV checked by a service
technicmn before using it again.
Please read and observe each safety point in the "Safety
Tips" folder when installing and using your TV.
VIDEO GAMES AND OTIIER FIXED
PATTERN DISPLAY CAUTION -- I5you use your TV for
video games, teletext or othm fixed displays, avoid setting the
BRIGHTNESS control for at, excessively bright picture. A
bright, fixed pattern, if used for long periods of time, can re-
sult in a permanent imprint on the TV picture tube. You can re-
duce 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 by
turning oft the fixed pattern display when nol in use.
PLUGGING IN YOUR 'rv -- Be sure to plug your TV into
an "unswitched" AC power source. The "switched" AC out-
lets found on some video ,equipment will not continue supply-
ing power to the TV once the equipment is turned off. If the
power to the TV is interrupted, you will have to reset the clock
in the TV to the current time.
PICTURE SCREEN CLEANING -- Use a soft cloth mois-
tened with warm water and rub lightly in the soiled areas of
the screen. DO NOT USE A FISSUE OP, PAPER TOWEL,
AS THESE MAY DAMAGE SURFACE. Wipe only in the
vertical (up/down) direction (along the grooves). If there is a
dirt buildup, a mild solution of warm wa:er and Ivory dish-
washing detergent may be:used. Use dr), soft cloth to dry the
screen. Care should be taken to avoid scratches or damage to
the screen surface.
NOTE -- The TV screen is easily damaged. Avoid acciden-
tal contact with the screen.

TV AND VCR OPERATIONAL NOTES
Some controls on the remote, like PLAY and VOLUME will
always operate the VCR or the TV. Whether other keys
operate the TV or the VCR depends on the mode of the
remote control. For example, OFF-ON will turn the VCR ON
and OFF while the remote control is in the VCR mode. It will
turn the TV ON or OFF while the remote control is in the TV
mode.
Some of the functions provided by this remote control may
not be part of your TV and/or VCR. You wiill not be able to
activate those functions even though there is a control button
on the remote. For example, pressing TIMER provides direct
access to the Sleep Timer on many TVs. If your TV does not
have a Sleep Timer, pressing TIMER has no effect.
PREPARATION FOR USE
Batteries are provided with this remote, but you must install
them before using the remote.
INSTALLING BATTERIES
When the effective operating range of your remote becomes
noticeably shorter, replace the batteries with two (2) high
quality, alkaline, size AAA batteries.
1. Remove the battery compartment cover, PUSH
DOWN tab and PULL OUT from top.
2. Insert new batteries as indicated in the diagram inside
the compartment.
3. Replace the cover by inserting the tab on the bottom
of the cover into its housing. Snap the cover into
position.
NOTES:
• Be careful not to place heavy objects on top of the remote
control buttons. Prolonged accidental operation of the re-
mote control will shorten battery life.
• If you do not use the remote control for a month or more,
remove the batteries. Battery leakage can cause damage to
the remote control.
• Zenith is not responsible for damage caused by such battery
leakage.

such as a VCR in order to view a different picture in the PIP
inset. This video component must be connected to one of the
TV's video/audio input jacks (VIDEO 1 IN or VIDEO 2 IN)
by using Audio/Video cables.
The most common use of PIP is to view two different chan-
nels; one from the "I-9 tuner and the other frora the VCR tuner.
For example, you can view two sporting even'Is or two movies
at the same tkne.
TYPICAL CONNECTIONS
Option 1: Antenna or Direct Cable Connection

Simultaneously, you may select VIDEO 1for 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 may
be the main picture source and ANT/CABLE 1 the PIP
SOHI'Ce.

First check to see that the TV is off. For added
safety, disconnect AC power to your TV.
NOTE: If you disconnect AC power to your TV
for an extended time period, you will have to reset
the clock.
Picture Screen (,'leaning
Use a soft cloth moistened with warm water and rub lightly in
the soiled areas of the screen. DO NOT USE A TISSUE OR
PAPER TOWEL, AS THESE MAY DAMAGF SURFACE.
Wipe only in the vertical (up/dc, wn) direction (along the
grooves). If there is a dirt buildup, a mild solution of warm
water and Ivory dishwashin_, detergent may be used. Use dry
soft cloth to dry the screen. Care should be taken to avoid
scratches or damage to the screen surface.
NOTE --The TV screen is easily damaged. Avoid acciden-
tal contact with the screen.
EXTENDED ABSENCE
Before an extended absence (such as a vacation) you may
want to disconnect AC power to your TV. This will protect
the projection TV from possible damage from lightning or
power line surges. If you have an outdoor antenna, you may
also want to disconnect the antenna from the wall plate con-
nection center
NOTE: If you disconnect AC power to your q-V for an ex-
tended time period, you will have to reset the clock.
PICTURE INTERFERENCE
Your 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 reflected
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, ,;igral amplifiers, or various filter
devices. See your TV dealer for additional information, and ac-
cessories available for your projection TV.

Welcome into the Zenith family! We believe that you will be
pleased with your new Zenith Projection TV. Please read this

manufacturing defects. Further, Zenith will supply a new or re-
manufactured replacement for any picture tube which fails dur-
i,ng the second year after effective warranty date because of a
manufacturing defect. Replacement parts are warranted for the
remaining portion of the original warranty period. The above
service labor warranty applies only in the U.S.A.

Projection 'IV is installed.

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 Ze-
nith. Any alteration of the product after manufacture voids this
warranty in its entirety.

sibility.
