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 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 3'our area, or write:

Zenith Electronics Corporation

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.

Power Source -- Your TV is designed to operate
on normal household current, 120 volt 60 Hertz AC.
Do not attempt tooperate 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
technician before using it again.

Send the model number, serial number, and ,:late 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.

"ITaemodel and serial numlx'rs of your new TV are located on the
back of the TV cabinet. For your future convenience and protec-
tion, we sug_gest that you rex'ord these number,s here:

Model No.

Serial No.

IVlanufactured under license from D_lby Laboratories Licensing Corporation.
Additionally licensed under Canadi:m patent number 1,037,877. "Dolby",
"Pro Logic" ar,d the double-D symbol are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories
Licensing Corporation.

NOTE -- The TV screen is easily damaged. Avoid acciden-
tal contact with the screen.

Please read and observe each safety point in the "Safety
Tips" folder when installing and using your TV.

VIDEO GAMES AND OTHER FIXED
PATTERN DISPLAY CAUTION -- If you use your TV for

video game.s, teletext or other 'fixed displays, avoid setting the
BRIGHTNESS control for an excessively briglnLtpicture. A
bright, fixed pattern, if us,_ 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 ,;retained fixed pattern use, and by
turning off the fixed pattern display when not in use.
PICTURE SCREEN CLEANING -- Use a soft cloth mois-
_:enedwith warm water and rub lightly in the soiled areas of

Ihe screen. DO NOT USE A TISSUE OR PAPER TOWEL,
AS THESE MAY DAMAGE SURFACE. Wipe only in the

vertical (up/down) directior (along the groove,;). If there is a

dirt buildup, a mild solutior of warm water and Ivory dish-
washing 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.

VIDEO GAMES AND OTHER FIXED
PATTERN DISPLAY CAUTION

If you use your TV for video games 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 by turning off the
fixed pattern display when not in use.

PIP OPERATION AND CONNECTIONS

PIP (PICTURE-IN-PICTURE) OVERVIEW

'(our Zenith TV must be connected to avideo component
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 TV tuner and the other from the VCR tuner.
For example, you can view two sporting events or two movies
at the same time.

"I'YPICAL CONNECTIONS

Option 1: Antenna or Direct Cable Connection

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

CARING FOR YOUR PROJECTION TV

Your projection TV will look better, have a longer life and per-
form better if you care for it properly.

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.

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.

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

help preserve the finish.

Picture Screen Cleaning
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 DAMAGE SURFACE.
Wipe only in the vertical (up/down) direction (a',[ongthe
g':ooves). If there is a dirt buildup, a mild solution of warm
water and lvory 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.

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 TV 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 building.,;, 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 'IV dealer for additional irLformation, and ac-
cessories available for your projection TV.

manufactured replacement picture tubes or other parts, and

manufacturing defects. Further, Zenith will supply a new or re-
manufactured replacement for any picture tube which fails dur-

ing 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

trols in the home, installation or repair of home antenna sys-
tems, cable converters or cable company-supplied equipment;

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.

safety problem that could affect you.
