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 approximately 75 regional Zenith distributors
and thousands of distributor-approved Zenith service
centers throughout the U.S. and Canada who can attend
promptly and effectively to ordinary service needs.
If you should have an unusual performance or service problem
that cannot be satisfactorily resolved by your distn'butor-
approved Zenith service center, contact the regional Zenith
distributor in your area, or write:
Zenith Electronics Corporation

Mon-Fri, 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Central Time
Send the model number, serial number, and date of pur-
chase or original installalion, with a full explanation of the
problem and the service history. We will welcome the op-
portunity to look into your specific question or problem and
to be of assistance in resoMng it promptly.
The model and serial ntmlbers of your new TV are located on

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 _ach safety point in the "Safety
Tips" folder when installing and using ;four 3W.
FIXED PATrERN DISPLAY CAUTION - Ifyou use your
"IV for video games, teletext or other fixed displays, avoid
setting the BRIGHTNESS control for an excessively bright
picture. A bright, ftxed 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 CO/'H'RAST control for sustained
fixed pattern use, and by turning off the fixed pattern dis-
play when not in use.
PLUGGING IN YOUR TV -- Be sure to plug your TV into
an "unswitched" AC power source. The "switched" AC out-
lets found on some video equipment will not continue sup-
plying power to the TV c,nce the equipment is turned off. If
the power to the TV is interrupted, you wilJ[have to reset
the clock in the TV to the current time.

CONNECTIONS FOR YOUR TV
CONNECTION CENTER ON BACK OF TV
Your TV has one of the two connection centers shown
below. Refer to the corresponding detail while reading the
following description.
The connection center on the rear of your TV allows you to
connect the 'viewing source to your TV. You can choose
from a variel_ of audio/video components for your viewing
pleasure.
1. VHF-UHF/CABLE or TV ANT (Antenna)
Use this jack for 75-ohm, antenna-type signal con-
nections to your TV. Attach your antenna, cable-TV
line, or other video component to this jack. The
input cable may come from an outdoor or master
antenna, cable-TV line, cable decoder box, or the
TV output from a VCR.
2. AUD (Audio) IN
Audio input from VCR or other video equipment
(Disc Player).
3. VID (Video) IN
Video (Base Band) input from VCR or other video
equipment (Disc Player). Gives improved picture
quality ,over that oE,tained through the TV ANT
jack.

INPUT SOURCES FOR TYPE II CONNECTION CENTER
Two input connection areas are provided on the Type II
Connection Center: one is marked TV ANT and the other
VID IN - AUD IN. These two inputs allow you to connect
two 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 TV ANT input connector.
Another common "signal source" is the audio and video
(A/V) from a VCR or video disc player. Th!tstype of signal
is called base.,band (basic video and audio), and is con-
nected to the VID IN - AUD IN connectors. To use these
VCR connections, you must watch the AUX channel on the
TV. To select the AUX charLael, press CHANNEL (CH)
Up/Down until you select the next channel ;ffter the
highest/lowest channel (or you may enter the number 999
from the remote ca)ntrol.)
