USING YOUR OPERATING GUIDE

This operating guide describes a family of TV models. Some models have features

that are not provided on other models. Different control panels and remote controls may be used from model-to-model. Some models do not include a remote control.

Refer to the applicable sections of this operating guide for the features and items provided with your TV.

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

Customer Service Department 1900 N. Austin Avenue

Chicago, Illinois 60639-5079

Telephone: (312) 745-5152

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 the back of the TV cabinet. For your future.,convenience and protection, we suggest that you record these numbers here:

Model No.

Serial No.

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.)

CARING FOR YOUR TV

Your "IV will look better, have a longer life and perform

better if you care for it properly.

_k irst check to see that the TV is off. For added

safety, unplug the TV from the power outlet.

Picture Glass Cleaning

The picture tube face attracts dust particles and should be

cleaned regularly. To clean the face, spray a small amount of glass cleaner on a cleaning cloth and wipe the picture tube glass face until clean. Repeat if necessary.

To delay new dust accumulation, wet a soft cloth in

lukewarm water in which a little fabric softener or Ivory dishwashiug detergent has been mixed. Wring the cloth al- most dry. Wipe the glass face. Make sure no drops of mois- ture are squeezed onto the glass. Do not wipe the glass dry.

Allow the glass to air-dry before you turn the TV on again.

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 cle_m water and wipe the surface again. Allow the TV to air--&y before tur_ag it on.

Wood Cabinets or Cabinel: Components. Use any good furniture clearter and polish. Regular care

will help preserve the finish.

EXTENDED ABSENCE

Before an extended absence (such as a vacation) you may

want to unplug the power cord from the electrical wall out-

let. This will protect the TV from possible damage from lightning or power line surges. If you have an outdoor anten- na, you may also want to disconnect the antenna lead-in

wires on the back of the TV.

NOTE: If you unplug your TV, you will have to reset the clock to the current time.

TV PICTURE INTERFERENCE

Your TV picture may be affected by interference caused by

one or a number of factors. These include:

Nearby Alltomobile Ignition, Electrical Appliances, etc.

Which causes a speckled, streaked picture. This is most

noticeable 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 tr_msmltters may cause interference.

These interference probleras can often be corrected through the use of a better antenna, signzd anlplifiers, or various l_flterdevices. See your TV dealer for additional in- formation, and available TV accessories.
