INTRODUCTION

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 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. and Canada who can attend promptly and effective-

ly 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:

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 is designed to operate
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 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
hazards. If this 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 PATrERN DISPLAY CAUTION - If you use your
TV for video games, telete,xt or other fixed displays, avoid
setting the BRIGHTNESS control for an excessively bright
picture. A bright, fixed pattern, if used fi_r leng 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 by turning off the f'txed pattern dis-
play when not in use.

PLUGGING IN YOUR T¢ -- Be sure to plug your TV into
an "unswitched" AC power source. The "s_itched" AC out-
lets found on some video equipment wilt not continue sup-
plying porter to the TV once the equipment is turned off. If
the power to the TV is _nterrupted, you willhave to reset

the clock in the TV to the current time.

CONNECTIONS FOR YOUR TV

CONNECTION CENTER ON BACK OF "iV

The connection center on the back of your TV will be
similar to the one shown below. These connections allow

three basic "types" of video inputs to provide for up to 5 dif-
ferent viewing sources to your TV.

LOOP OUT

TOI_EGOOER

q

Using these five cx)nnections, you can choose from a variety

of antenna sources and audio/video components for your

viewing pleasure. Note that the correct source must be

selected from the SOURCE MENU (as described later in

this booklet) to watch TV. Refer to the illustration while

reading the following descriptions.

]1. ANT/CABLE 1 or ANT/CABLE 2

Use one of these jacks for 75-ohm, antenna-type
signal connections to your TV. Attach your anten-

na, cable-TV line, or other video component to
either of these jacks. The input may come from an

outdoor or master antenna, cable-TV decoder box,
or the 75-ohm TV output from a VCR.

2:. LOOP OUT

Use th'is output jack to route the cable-TV signal
back to the decoder supplied by your cable-TV
system. When connected as shown in Steps 1C and

1D, you can view basic (unscrambled) cable chan-

nels by selecting the ANT/CABLE 2 source or
premium (scrambled) cable channels tuned by the
decoder by selecting ANT/CABLE 1 source.

3. VIDEO 1 IN or VIDEO 2 IN

CONNECTIONS FOR YOUR IV'

INPUT SOURCES FOR YOUR TV

Your TV has five input connection areas: ANT/CABLE 1,
ANT/CABLE 2, VIDEO 1 IN, VIDEO 2 IN, and S-

VIDEO 1 IN. (In addition, some models have a sixth input
area on the back of the TV near the top.) These five inputs
allow you to connect five different "signal sources" to your

TV at the same time. The "Signal Source" refers to the
item supplying the picture and sound to your TV.

The most common "signal source" is your outdoor antenna

(or master antenna) or a cable-TV system. This type of sig-
nal is called a radio frequency (RF) source, and is con-
nected to the one of the ANT/CABLE jacks.

STEP 1. MAKE BASIC CONNECTIONS TO TV

There are four basic hook ups to your TV; outdoor antenna

(or master antenna) with or without VCR, and cable-TV

system with or without VCR. Select the hook up that best

fits your needs. See the following diagrams.
Your connection is made to one of the ANT/CABLE jacks

on the back of the TV. These jacks accept 75-ohm cable ter-
minated in an F-type male connector. You may want to do

the hook-up yourself, or call a TV service technician, or a

cable company.
A. Antenna Connection to TV

If You Have a Round Antenna Wire:
Connect the 75-ohm round antenna wire to either

the ANT/CABLE 1 or ANT/CABLE 2 jack on the
TV.

If You Have a Flat, Twin-Lead Antenna Wire:

Use the 300/75 ohm adapter included with the TV.

Attach the ends of the wire to the adapter and plug

it into either the ANT/CABLE 1 or the

ANT/CABLE 2 jack.

Another common "signal source" is the audio and video
(A/V) from a VCR or video disc player. This _q0e of signal

is called base band (basic vicleo and audio'.),and is con-
nected to one of the VIDE() IN connections.

A third "signal source" is the input from a Super-VHS
VCR. If you have a S-VIqS VCR, use the S-Vl[DEO 1IN
video and audio jacks to connect it to the TV.

To use any of these video!audio input sources, you must ac-
cess the SOURCE Menu arm select the "source" which cor-

responds to the input jacks 'being used. Refer to the
"SOURCE MENU" in this operating guide.

less of the source, is also provided as baseband video and

audio to these jacks.
Use these standard phono jacks to send fixed-level audio

and video signals to another component for recording or
viewing purposes. These signals are ideal for use with equip-
ment that does not have its own video tuning capability,

such as a Camcorder. You can also use these signals as

input to a second VCR if desired.

To Use the Fixed A/V Jacks:

1. Connect the VIDEO Output jack to the VIDEO
Input of the camcorder (or VCR).

2. Connect the RIGHT and LEFT AUDIO Output

jack's to the corresponding INPUT jacks of the cam-

OPERATION

REMOTE CONTROL MODEL LR4455

The learning remote supplied with your new Zenith TV al-
lows you to operate most models of infrared (IR) remote-

controlled TVs, VCRs and cable-TV converters, even if

they are all different brands. In addition, it also allows you

to operate other remote-controlled entertainment equip-
ment such as stereo sound systems and video disc players.
In this way, it replaces the many remotes previously re-
quired to operate all of these appliances.

CHOOSE THE OPERATING MODE

To use the remote to operate your TV, VCR, CABLE-TV
converter, or an AUX (auxiliary) device (such as a video

disc player), you must first choose the remote's mode of

operation. 'To select the mode, press the MODE key until
the desired indicator lights.

Point toward unit

to be controlled

Your learning remote is manufactured to operate your
Zenith TV, a Zenith VCR and a Zenith cable-3W con-
verter. It must be "taught" to operate other brands. The

following instructions are for the operation of Zenith equip-

ment. To teach your remote to operate other brands, refer
to "Programming Your Remote Control" later in this book-

let.

Some KEYS; on the remote wiU always operate a particular
appliance. For example, VOLUME always operates the
TV volume and PLAY always operates the VCR. The func-
tion of other keys depends on the mode selected. For ex-

ample, OFF-ON will turn the TV off and on when in TV

mode. If set to VCR mode, this key will turn the VCR off
and on.

PREPARATION FOR USE

Batteries are provided _th 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 high-

quality, alkaline, size AAA batteries.
NOTE: When the remote does not receive power from its

batteries, it may set itself to Zenith video equipment (TV,
Zenith VCR, and Zenith cable-TV decoder) default codes.
If you have "taught" it to operate other equipment, it will
forget what it was taught.

To decrease this possibility, replace the batteries promptly,
and do not remove the old batteries until you are ready to

insert new ones. The batteries normally have enough power
to save the information even if they do not have enough
power to operate the remote.

°

Remove the battery compartment cover. PUSH
DOWN tab and PULL OUT from top.

2.

Insert new batteries as indicated by the diagram
inside the compartment. Be careful to place the
batteries correctly. If the polarities (the + and -)
are reversed, irreparable damage to the remote

control can occur.

3. Replace the cover by inserting the tab on the bot-

tom of the cover into its housing. Snap the cover
into place.

NOTES:

• Be careful not to place heavy objects on top of the remote

control buttons. Prolonged accidental operation of the
remote control will shorten battery life.

• If you will 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.

PROJO (Projection) SETUP

Purpose

Lets you verify and adjust, if needed, the dynamic color con-
vergence of the TV.

Your projection TV has three separate projection picture
tubes, one for each primary color: red, green and blue. To
obtain a good color pictm;e, it is necessary that all three
colors are aligned exactly. This alignment is called "conver-
gence."

Your TV was properly converged at the factory. However,
in.some cases, the convergence may be affected depending

on where you place the TV.
If you move your TV from its original location, or if after

time, you notice color "fringes" in the picture, you may want
to realign the colors by adjusting the convergence as
described in the following steps.

B_eforeUsing PROJO SETUP

1. Place the TV in its permanent location.

2. Turn the TV on and select an active channel. Let
the TV warm up for a few minutes.

SETUP MENU

If the display appears as fou_:white right-angle lines
as shown at the right, no adjustment is necessary.

If there are more than four lines, each a different
color, you must adjust the convergence.

,

Use the SELECT and ADJUST arrow keys (Up,
Down, Left and Right) to adjust the Red lines until
they are on top of the Green lines.

4.

Use MENU to change the test color to Blue.

5.

Use the SELECT and ADJUST arrow keys (Up,

Down, Left and Right) to adjust the Blue lines until

they are on top of the other lines. All lines should

now be white.

6. Press ENTER to return to normal viewing.

NOTES:

order to use your TV.

Your TV is equipped to receive Multi-channel Television
Sound (MTS) when available in your area. It can also
receive a Second Audio Program (SAP), that is, a program
broadcast with two attdio portions (two languages). The fol-

lowing modes of operation are available.
STEREO

Directs the sound to the left and right speakers as supplied
by the program source (broadcast TV station, VCR, etc.)

MONO (Monaural)
Directs the same sound to both left and right speakers even

if the source being received is in stereo.
2ND AUDIO/SAP (Second Audio Program)
Directs the sound for the (SAP) Second Audio Program

(typically a second language) to both the left and right
speakers. SAP sound is always monaural.

Dolby Surround Sound
Dolby Surround Sound gives the effect of surrounding you

in sound while listening to your TV. Optional surround
speakers are connected to the TV's rear connection panel

as shown on page 1-7.

Surround Sound is "hidden" in the left and right channels
of a stereo signal. Therefore, raonaural broadcasts and
tapes of monaural programs can not provide Surround
Sound. However, many video tapes, laser discs, premium

cable channels and MTS stereo television,; broadcasts fea-
ture Dolby Surround encoding. Look for the following logo

to identify these.

NOTE: Dolby Surround Sound can be enabled only if
stereo has been previously sek:cted by using the AUDIO op-
tion and the signal being received is stereophonic.

Automatic Mode Selection
We recommend that you use tire STEREO option. The TV

will switch automatically between the STEREO and
MONO modes dependent on the signal being received.

If you prefer SAP, use the 2ND AUDIO/SAP option. On
those stations which broadcast: two audio portions, you will
hear the SAP (usually a seconcl language). When the SAP
broadcast ends, the TV switches automatically between

STEREO and MONO modes. The TV switches back to
2ND AUDIO when the SAP broadcast resumes.

BASS-

Use ADJUST (ADJ) Left/Right to adjust the amount of
BASS (low-frequency level) in the sound. To decrease (-)
BASS, press ADJUST (ADJ) Left. To increase (+) BASS,
press ADJUST (ADJ) Right.

TREBLE

Use ADJUST (ADJ) LeftfRight to adjust the amount of
TREBLE (high-frequency level) in the sound. To decrease

PIP OPERATION AND CONNECTIONS

PIP (PICTURE-IN-PICTURE)

Your Zenith TV must be connected to a video component

such as a VCR in order to view a different picture in the

PIP inset. This video c_)mponent 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 TV tuner and the other from the VCR

tuner. For example, you can view two sporting events or
two movies at the same time.

CONNECTION ALTERNATIVES

The input jacks of your TV provide for 5 different audio/
video input sources. (Some TV models have two additional
inputs for a total of 7 possible sources.) Antenna orDirect

Cable Connection and Cable Decoder Connection illustrate

two of the most common connection alternatives.

Other uses for PIP would include monitoring what you are
recording on your VCR while watching another channel on
the TV, or monitoring a baby% room by connecting a video

camera or camcorder to one of the video/audio input jacks.

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

stereo VCR. Using this conneclion, you are capable of the
following operation:

• You may select ANT/CABLE I for main picture source
to view channels tuned by the TV's channel selector.
Simultaneously, you may select VIDE() I 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 I

may be the main picture seurce and ANT/CABLE 1 the
PIP source.

PIP OPERATIONS AND CONNECTIONS

Cable Decoder Connection
T:his illustration shows theconnection of both a cable-TV

decoder and a stereo VCR to your TV. Using this connec-
tion, you are capable of, but not limited to, the following

operation:

• You may select ANT/CABLE 2 for main picture source
to view unscrambled cable channels tuned by the TV.

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 cable decoder. (VCR's
TV/VCR button set to VCR.)

• You may select ANT/CABLE 1 for main picture source
to view premium cable channels tuned by the cable
decoder. (Tune TV to channel 3 or 4.)
Simultaneously, you :may select VIDEO i for PIP source
to view -in the PIP inset- a tape playing in the VCR.

(VCR's TV/VCR button 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 source.

HOW TO SELECT MAIN PICTUREi
& PIP SOURCE

In order to watch a different pictuJ:e in the PIP inset, you
must choose a different source than the one used for your
main TV picture. "Source" refers 1:othe input jacks on the
back of your TV set from which the video and audio signals
are being received. These jacks correspond to the selec-

tions in the source menu.

• ANT/CABLE 1 or 2 (Input trom antenna, direct cable
connection, or cable decoder)

• VIDEO 1, 2 or 3 (Input from 'VCR, Lase:r Disc,
Camcorder etc.)

• S-VIDEO 1 or 2 (Input from Super-VHS VCR)

The sources are identified by color in both the displays and
on the connection center. The color for the Channel/Time

display, Volume and Mute displays match the color of the
source you are watching. The color also helps identify

which source you are watching when viewing PIP.

warm water and Ivory dishwashing 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.

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

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

noticeable 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.

NOTE: If you disconnect AC !power to your TV :[oran ex-
tended time period, you will have to reset the clock.

Ghosts or Reflections Cau,;ed by signals being reflected
from surrouncling 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 in-
formation, and accessories available for your projection

TV.

YOUR ZENITH WARRANTY

Consumer Protection Plan for Zenith Projection TV

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

pleased with your new Zenith Projection TV. Please read
this Consumer Protection Plan carefully. It is a "ONE
YEAR FULL WARRANTY," plus a limited second year
picture tube warranty, 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 and Parts - During a period of one year
from effective warranty date, Zenith will supply new or

remanufactured replacement picture tubes or other parts,
and will pay for service labor by a Zenith distributor or

distributor-approved Zenith service center, when such parts
or service labor are needed to repair the product as a result
of manufacturing defects. Further, Zenith will supply a new
or remanufactured replacement for any picture tube which
fails during the second year after effective warranty date be-
cause of a manufacturing defect. Replacement parts are
warranted for the remaining portion of the original warran-

ty period. The above service labor warranty applies only in
the U.S.A.

On-Site Service - Warranty service is provided when the
Projection TV is installed.

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, negligence, 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 of

original consumer installatioa. 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 tlhe operation of your set and

how to adjust the customer controls.
Antenna - Reception problems caused by inadequate

home antennas or faulty antenna connections are the
owner's responsibility.

your Owner Registration Card. It is imperative that Zenith
know how to reach you promptly if we should discover a
safety problem that could affect you.

tact your Z_mith dealer preferably, or any distributor-
approved Zenith service center. Parts and service labor that

without charge. Other service is at the owner's expense. If
