PERSONNEL.
TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARDS, DO NOT
EXPOSE THIS PRODUCT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral
triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated
"dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of
sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to
persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to
alert the user to the presence of important operating and

Safety Tips
Refer to the "Safety Tips" booklet that came with your
product for important safety considerations.
Note to Cable TV System Installer
This reminder is provided to call the cable TV system
installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that
provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in par-
ticular, specifies that the cable ground shall be con-
nected to the grounding system of the building, as close
to the point of the cable entry as practical.
Power-Cord Polarization
This product is equipped with a polarized alternating-
current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the
other.) This plug will fit into the power outlet only one
way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert
the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the
plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to
replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized plug by altering it in any way.
CAUTION
TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, MATCH WIDE
BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE SLOT, FULLY IN-
SERT.

General Information
Introduction
Welcome into the family of Zenith Video Recorder owners.
This guide provides instructions on how to operate your
new VCR. It is supplemented by a booklet containing
Safety Tips. We urge you to read these publications careful-
ly so that you will receive full enjoyment from your new
Zenith VCR for many years to come.
Your new Zenith VCR 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 video recorder ser-
vice 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 distributor-
approved Zenith video recorder service center, contact the
regional Zenith distributor in your area, or write or call:
Zenith Electronics Corporation

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 installation, 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 resolving it promptly.
The model and serial numbers of your new VCR are lo-
cated on the VCR 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 VCR...
Ventilation -- Proper ventilation keeps your
VCR running cool. Air circulates through per-
forations in the back and bottom of the cabinet.
Do not block these vents or you will shorten the
life of your VCR.
Power Source -- Your VCR 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 VCR 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
• Hugging in Your VCR - Be sure to plug your VCR into
an "unswitched" AC power source. The "switched" AC
outlets found on some video equipment will not continue
supplying power to the VCR once the equipment is
turned off. If the power to the VCR is interrupted for an
extended time, you will have to reset the clock in the VCR.
• Keep the video recorder and video cassette away from
strong magnetic fields.
• Use only Zenith approved and recommended acces-
sory units with your Zenith video recorder to avoid
potential hazards.
• Save the shipping carton and packing material. They
will come in handy if you ever have to ship your video
recorder. For maximum protection, re-pack the video
recorder as it was originally shipped from the factory.
either way, your outlet is very old and non-stand-
ard. A new outlet should be installed by a qualified
electrician.
Safe Operation - Your VCR is manufactured
A nd 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 VCR,
can result in potential electrical shock or fire hazards. If this
happens, have your VCR checked by a service technician
before using it again.
Please read and observe each safety point in the "Safety
Tips" folder when installing and using your VCR.
Moisture condensation is apt to occur under the following
conditions:
• When the video recorder is moved from a cold place to
a warm place.
• Under extremely humid conditions.
In locations where moisture condensation may occur:
• Keep the power cord plugged into an AC outlet and
the POWER switch set to ON. This will help prevent
condensation from occurring.
When condensation has occurred, it will not evaporate
quickly once the power is switched on. Wait a few
hours for the video recorder to become dry before
using the video recorder.

MBR3429 Remote Control Multi-Brand Codes
Introduction
Before using your new remote control, it must be
programmed to recognize the brands of equipment
itwill be used to operate. If you are using a Zenith
TV, Zenith VHS/VCR or a Zenith cable-TV
decoder, it has already been programmed for you.
Otherwise, follow the steps below.
NOTE: This remote control can only be used to
operate one VCR, one TV and one cable-TV
decoder at a time. If you program the remote con-
trol to operate a TV that is not a Zenith, it will no
longer operate your Zenith TV.
1. Find the code that corresponds to each
brand and type of equipment you are going
to operate. Refer to Tables 1, and 2.
For example, if you were programming the
remote for use with a Zenith TV, you
would look up "Zenith" in "Table 1.", and
find code "101."
Write the brand codes for your equipment
on the following lines. Keep this operating
guide for future reference.
TV CODE: CABLE CODE:
2. Press MODE repeatedly to select the
desired TV, VCR or CABLE operating
mode for the remote.
3. Press LEARN for about 5 seconds until the
MODE indicator lights for the selected
TV, VCR or CABLE mode of operation.
4. Enter the proper brand code number
determined in Step 1.
5. Press LEARN. All three mode indicators
should light briefly, then turn off to indi-
cate the brand code has been programmed.
6. If all three mode indicators fail to light
briefly, an error has occurred. Repeat
Steps 2-5 to try again.
7. Repeat Steps 2 - 5 to program the remote
for the other equipment you are using.
NOTE: CABLE mode can be programmed to
operate a second TV or second VCR, if desired.
When batteries are removed: It will be necessary
to reprogram the proper VCR and cable-TV
decoder codes.

Installation
Unpack The VCR
and All Accessories
Disconnect antenna from your
TV or other units. Position
VCR in desired location, away
from any interfering wiring.
Turn the VCR around so you
are looking at the back side and
locate the connections panel.
Note: It is important to place
the VCR where you plan on
using it. After setting the Clock
and completing the Channel
Search, if you disconnect the
VCR power cord some of that
information will be erased.
(This will also occur if there is
a power failure.)
Antenna Connections
Connect the antenna to the
VCR and the VCR to the TV.
If you have CATV (Cable TV)
use the connections detailed on
page 4-3.
Notes:
1. If you are replacing an ex-
isting VCR, disconnect
your old VCR and connect
the new VCR in the same
way.
2. If this is your first VCR in-
stallation refer to Connec-
tions 4-2 for hookup
procedures.
3. For basic first-time con-
nections, proceed as shown
in Diagram A.
Diagram A is designed to help
you connect your VCR to your
antenna and TV set.
Step 1.
Connect your antenna cable to
your VCR using the VCR ANT
IN jack located on the back
panel of the VCR as shown. (If
this is not how your antenna
cable looks you may need addi-
tional adapters to complete
these connections. Refer to
page 4-2 for connecting your
VCR).
Step 2.
Connect the hookup cable sup-
plied with your VCR to the
VCR ANT OUT jack. Connect
the other end to the ANT IN
jack on the TV set.
Step 3.
Slide the CH3-4 switch so it is
in the CH 3 position; this sends
the VCR signal to the TV set
over channel 3. (If CH 3 does
not work slide the switch to
CH 4.)
