14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the
product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded
to provide protection against voltage surges and built-up
static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code
(U.S.A.), ANSI/ NFPA 70 provides information with regard
to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure,
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge
unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna­discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode.

15. Lightning

For added protection for this product (receiver) during a
lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused
for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and
disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent
damage to the product due to lightning and power-line
surges.

16. Power Lines

An outside antenna system should not be located in the
vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or
power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or
circuits. When installing an outside antenna system,
extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such
power lines or circuits as contact with them might be
fatal.

17. Overloading

Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this
can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

18. Object and Liquid Entry

Never push objects of any kind into this product through

openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or
short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.

19. Servicing

Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening
or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage
or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel.

20. Damage Requiring Service

Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servic­ing to qualified service personnel under the following con­ditions:

a. If the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into

the product.

c. If the product has been exposed to rain or water.

d. If the product does not operate normally by following
the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that
are covered by the operating instructions as an improper
adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will
often require extensive work by a qualified technician to
restore the product to its normal operation.

e. If the product has been dropped or the cabinet has
been damaged.

f. If the product exhibits a distinct change in perfor­mance.

21. Replacement Parts

When replacement parts are required, be sure the service
technician has used replacement parts specified by the
manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the origi­nal part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire,
electric shock, or other hazards.

22. Safety Check

Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product,
ask the service technician to perform safety checks to
determine that the product is in proper operating condi­tion.

23. Wall or Ceiling Mounting

The product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as
recommended by the manufacturer. The product may slide
or fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and seri­ous damage to the product.

There are four jacks on the right front side
behind the screen on your projection TV that
make connecting Audio/Video devices like
video games and camcorders very simple.

The jacks are like those found on the back
jack connection panel. This means that most
equipment that connects to those types of
jacks on the rear jackpack, may be connected
to the front connection panel (Video3).

To use the front jacks as the signal source,
select them using Main Source menu as
described on page 33. They will be named
“Video 3” in the Main Source menu.

ANT / Cable Service Hookup

1

Connect an antenna and/or cable service to
your TV as shown.

Turn to page 18 to do a channel search
with EZ Scan for ANT / CABLE
connection(s).

For best signal reception, it is recommended to have your Antenna professionally adjusted.

2

If you receive your RF signal
through an antenna that is several
years old and connects with two
small prongs, you will need to pur­chase a 300 to 75 ohm adapter. It
should be available from your local
electronics dealer.

Zenith recommends using a 75
ohm cable for your antenna con­nections in order to prevent
interference.

Cable Box Connections

Locate the Antenna/Cable 2 jack on the
back of your TV. Connect the cable that
runs from the wall directly or antenna to
the jack. Now find the Loop Out jack.

Connect the cable from this jack to the
Input jack on the back of your cable box.

Locate the Output jack on the back of
your cable box. Connect this to the
Antenna/Cable 1 jack on the back of your
TV.

To view the premium stations, press the
TV/VIDEO button on your remote and
select the other Cable source (Ant/Cable

1). Then tune the channel number on
your cable box for HBO, CINEMAX, SHOW­TIME, etc.

To view non-premium channels press the
TV/VIDEO button and select Ant/Cable 2.
Then run EZ Scan to find all available
channels and store them in memory.

This can be combined with any other
equipment you may want to hook up, see
following pages. Connect cable service
wire directly to the TV, loop out from the
TV, then to the cable box. From there, the
cable box output connects to the next
device in the connection series, until the
last device, which connects back to the
Antenna/Cable 1 jack on the TV.

Some cable services require the use of a cable box to decode pre­mium channels and pay-per-view. Using the Loop Out to Decoder
connection option, and programming your remote, you can con­nect your cable box so that you only need your MBR remote to
tune to premium and non-premium channels. By connecting a
cable box directly to your TV, as shown to the LOOP OUT, you
make the cable box another available channel tuning source using
your remote.

that runs from the wall or antenna to
the jack.
Now find the Loop Out jack.

Connect the cable from this jack to
the Input jack on the back of your
cable box.

Locate the Output jack on the back of
your cable box. Connect this to the RF
or VHF/UHF/CATV In jack on the back
of your VCR.
If you want to connect VCR to the TV
directly, connect the cable from the
Loop Out jack to the RF or
VHF/UHF/CATV In jack on the back of
your VCR.

Find the composite video and
audio jacks on the back of your
VCR, and connect them following
the instructions provided with
your equipment.

You may connect either the com­posite video or the S-Video cables
to your TV. (Do not connect BOTH
the composite video and the S­Video cables. In the event that
you connect both composite video
and the S-Video cables, only the
S-Video will work.)

To hear stereo sound from cable or your VCR,
you will need to connect A/V cables as well as
the wire that runs from the VCR to your TV.

If you want to receive your signals on Channel
3 or 4, locate the Out to TV jack on your VCR.
Connect a cable from the Out to TV jack to the
Antenna/Cable 1 jack on the back of your TV.

After connecting external equipment to the TV, don’t display a still picture for a long time on the screen.
Doing so may damage the TV screen.
