WELCOME

INTRODUCTION

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 TV has been designed and built to give you the very

best in quality, features and performance. There are thousands
of Zenith authorized service centers throughout the U.S.,

Canada and Mexico 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 Zenith dealer or

Zenith authorized service center, contact us at:

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.

on normal household current, 120 volt 60 Hertz AC.
Power Source -- Your TV is designed to operate

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.

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

VIDEO GAMES AND O TtlER FIXED

PATTERN DISPLAY CAUTION -- If you use your TV for
video games, teletext 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 re-

sult in a permanent imprint o_1the TV pictme tube. You can re-

duce this possibility by alternating the use of the fixed pattern

display with normal TV pi,:t_re viewing, by turning down the
CONTRAST control for sustained fixed pat'Iern use, and by

turning off the fixed pattern clisplay 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 supply-
ing power to the qw 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.

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.

PIP OPERATION AND CONNECTIONS

PIP (PICTURE-IN-PICTURE) OVERVIEW

Your Zenith "IV must be connected to a video component

such as a VCR in order to view a different picture inthe PIP
reset. This video component must be connected to one of the
TV's video/audio input jacks (VIDEO 1IN or VIDEO 2 IN)

by using Audio/Video cables.

TYPICAL CONNECTIONS

Option 1: Antenna or Direct Cable Connection
This illustration shows the basic connection of your TV to a

stereo VCR. Using this connection, you are capable of the fol-
lowing operation:

• You may select ANT/CABLE I for main picture source to

view channels tuned by the TV's channel selector.
Simultaneously, you may select VIDEO 1 for PIP source to
view -- in the PIP inset -- a tape playing in the VCR or a
different channel tuned by the VCR's channel selector.

(VCR's TV/VCR button must be set to TV.)

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 evems or two movies
at the same time.

Sources may also be swapped. In other words, VIDEO 1may

be the main picture source and ANT!CABLE 1 the PIP

source.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

CARING FOR YOUR TV

Your TV will look better, have a longer life and perform better

if you care tbr it properly.

First check to see that the TV is off. For added

safety, unplug the TV from the power outlet.
NOTE: If you unplug your TV, you will have to

reset the clock to the current time.

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 dishwashing de-

tergent has been mixed. Wring the cloth almost dry. Wipe the
glass face. Make sure no drops of moisture 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 ,,;urfacewith a clamp cloth. Then
rinse the cloth in clean water _mdwipe the surface again. Al-

low the TV to air-dry before turning it on.
Wood Cabinets or Cabinet Components.

Use any good furniture cle_merand 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 outlet.

This will protect the TV from possible damage from lightning
or power line surges. If you have an outdoor antenna, you may

also want te,disconnect the antenna lead-in wires oh the back
of the TV.

TV PICTURE INTERFERENCE

Your TV 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.

NOTE: If you unplug your TV, you will have to reset the

clock to the current time.

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 coJTected through
the use of a better antenna, signal amplifiers, or various filter
devices. See your TV dealer for additional information, and

available TV accessories.
