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:

Zenith Electronics Corporation Customer Service Department

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

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 Video and audio (Base Band) input from VCR or

other video component (Disc Player). Gives im- proved picture quality performance over that ob-

tained through the ANT/CABLE jacks.

4. VIDEO 1 LOOP OUT Use these jacks to send the incoming video and

audio signals (from VIDEO 1 IN) to another com- ponent such as a second VCR or TV monitor.

S-VIDEO R t EXTERNAL SPKRS

5. S-VIDEO I IN Input from a Super-VHS VCR. Both left and right

audio jacks are provided as well as the S-Video (Y-C) jack.

6. EXTERNAL SPEAKERS Terminals for connecting external left and right

stereo speakers.

7. EXTERNAL AMP Standard Phono Jack connectors foJr output to an

external amplifier.

8. SURROUND SPEAKEB: Standard Phono Jack connector for output to op-

tional surround sound speakers.

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.
