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 Authorized service centers
throughout the U.S., Canada andMexico who can attend promptly and effectively to ordinary service needs.
i[fyou should have an unusual performance or service problem that cannot be satisfactorily resolved by your Zenith Authorized
.,;ervicecenter, call or write:
Zenith Electronics Corporation
Customer Service Department
1000 N. Milwaut:ee Avenue
Glenview, IL 60025 Telephone: (312) 745-5152 Mon-Fri, 8:00 a.ra. - 4:30 p.m. Central Time
Send the model number, serial number, and date of purchase or original installation, with .afull explanation of the problem and the service history. We will welcome the opportunity to look into your specific questior or problem and to be of assis- tance in resolving it promptly.
The model andserial numbers of your new TV arelocated on the back of the TV cabinet. For your future convenience and protec- tion, we suggest that you record these numbers here:
Model No.
Serial No.
INSTALLA"i ION 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 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 ve_. 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.
Phrase 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 ),our TV for video games, teletext or other fi::ed displays, avoid setting the BRIGHTNESS control for an excessively bright picture. A bright, fixed pattern, if used for ]ong 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 off the fixed pattern display when not in use:.
PLUGGING IN YOUR TV --- Be sure to plug your TV into an "unswitched" AC power sou rce. The "switched" AC out- lets found on some video equipr_ent 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 T.ISSUE OR PAPER TOWEL,
AS THESE MAY DAMAGE SURFACE. Wipe only in the
vertical (up/down) direction (a]or g the grooves). If there is a dirt buildup, a mild solution of warm water and i[vory 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. NOTE -- The TV screen is easily damaged. Avoid acciden-
tal contact with the screen.

PROGRAMMING YOUR REMOTE
If you are using Zenith products, the remote is programmed for the most commonly used codes. For other brands -- or if your remote fails to control your Zenith products -- you will have to program the remote.
Follow these steps for each product you are using:
1. Look up the three-digit code for your brand (such as Zenith) and type of equipment (such as VCR) in the code table provided.
2. Press and hold PRG with a small blunt object until the indicator lights (about three seconds).
3. Press TV, VCR, CABLE, or AUX to select the prod- uct you want your remote to control. (Use CABLE or AUX, to program your remote for a second TV or VCR. Use AUX, to program your remote for a video disc player or audio equipment.)
,
o
Key in the three-digiit code for your equipment, then press ENTER. 'The indicator light should flash, then turn off to iadicate that the code was ac-
cepted. If the indicator stays on, repeat steps 3 and 4 or try using a different code.
Write the code that operates your equipment, on the la- bel inside the battery compartment for future refer-
ence.
To erase all code programming and return to the factory preset codes, key in code 911 when programming the remote.
NOTES:
If no key on your remote is pressed within 60 seconds, the programming process stops, and you will have to start again.
You may cancel programming at any time by pressing PRG.
SPECIAL FEATURES
AUX+I, AUX+2 and AUX+3 Capability Your remote can control up to seven electronic components. If
you have programmed the remote for fourcomponents using the TV, VCR, CABLE and AUX keys, you may also program it for up to threeadditionalcomponents(AUX+I, AUX+2, AUX+3)
by HOLDING the AUX key andpressing the 1, 2or 3 key during programming. Once programmed, HOLD down theAUX key and press 1, 2 or 3, to access the additional AUX +1, 2 or 3 mode.
Cable/Converter Volume (Code 399) You may use your remote to control cable/converter volume and
muting if awtilable on your equipment. First program your remote with the brandcode for your cable device usingthe CABLE or AUX key. Then repeat the programming steps, again using the CABLE or AUX key, but key in code 399 instead of a brand code.
To restore TV volume/mute to the CABLE or AUX mode, simply
re-enter yofir cable converter code number into that mode.
Amplifier Volume Override (Code 499) You may use your remote to override your TV, VCR or video
disk player's volume functions with your amplifier's volume and
muting. First, program your ten:ote with the br_aldcode for the component fi3rwhich you want amplifier volume override, using the key for that product: TV, VCR or AUX. Then, program your remote with r.hebrand code for your amplifier. Finally, repeat the programming steps, using the key for the component you wish to control (TV, VCR, or AUX), but key in code ,199 instead of a
brand code.
To restore normal volume and hinting control to your TV, pro- gram any code into the mode where the audio amplifier code is programmed
NOTE:
CD and tape players will automatically select amplifier vol-
ume and mute.

I
AUTO FIND OPTION
If you have tried all the codes listed for your brand and type of product in the code table, and none of those codes operate your e_luipment, you can use Auto Find to search for the code you need.
Follow these steps for each product you are using:
1. Turn the product ON and aim the remote toward it.
2. Press and hold PRG with a small blunt object until the indicator lights (about three seconds).
3. Press the mode key on the remote for the product you want to control: TV, VCR, CABLE, or AUX.
4. Key in "000", then press ENTER within two sec- onds. When the indicator light flashes three times and remains lit, Auto Find is active.
5. Press and hold POWER, then release it, repeating this action about once _Lsecond until the product
turns OFF.
,
Press ENTER immediately to save the code. If your remote fails to operate the functions you use most often, yo_ can re-enter Auto Find and .,;catch for a
better code.
NOTES:
The indicator light should t'lash OFF when you press
POWER and back ON when you release it. If the indicator light stays on when you press POWER, Auto Find has tried all available codes. If you finish Auto Find and the product you want to control has not turned off, your _cemote cannot control that product.
Pressing PRG at any time during the use of Auto Find will cancel Auto Find, and you wi [1have to start again.

VIDEO GAMES AND OTHER FIXED PATTERN DISPLAY CAUTION
If you use your TV for video games or other fixed displays, avoid set- ting 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 possi- bility 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 dis- play when not in use.

INTRODUCTION
Your TV must be connected to two separate sources in order to view a different picture in the PIP inset from that which is showing in the main picture area of the TV. One source (such as an antenna) must be connected to the ANT/ CABLE 1or 2jack. The other source (such as a VCR) must be connected to the VIDEO I or 2 jacks.
The most conmaon use of PIP is to view two different chan- nels; one from the channel selector of the TV and the other from the channel selector of the VCR. For exmnple, you can view two sporting events or' two, movies at the same time.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
CARING FOR YOUR PROJECTION TV
Your projection TV will look better, have a longer life and per- ferm 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 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 dishwashing deter- gent. Wipe the surface with a damp cloth. Then rinse the cloth in clean water and wipe the surface again. Allow the TV to air- dry before turning it on.
Wood Cabinets or Cabinet Components Use any good fur- niture 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/diown) direction (a_long the grooves). If the.re is a dirt buildup, a mild solution of 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.
NOTE -- The TV screen is ez_ily 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 unplug your TV, you will have to reset the clock to the current time.
PICTURE INTERFERENCE
Your picture may be affected by interference caused by one or a laumber of factors. These include:
Speckled or Streaked Picture Can be caused by nearby auto- mobile ignition, electrical appliances, etc. This is most notice- al:,le 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, signal amplifiers, or various filter devices. See your TV dealer for _dditional information, and ac- cessories available for your projeztion TV.
