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 projection TV has been designed and built to

give you the very best in quality, features and performance.

There are many regional Zenith distributors and thousands of

distributor-approved Zenith service centers throughout the

U.S., Canada and Mexico who can attend promptly and effec-

tively to ordinary service needs.

If you should have an unusual performance or service problem

that cannot be satisfactorily resolved by your distributor-

approved Zenith service center, contact the regional Zenith dis-

tributor in your area, or write:

Zenith Electronics Corporation

Customer Servi,:zeDepartment

1000 Milwaukee Avenue

Glenview, IL 6(1625-2493

Telephone: (847) 391-8752

Mon-Fri, 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Central Time

Send the model number, serial number, and date of purchase

or original installation, with a full explanation of the problem

and the service history. We will welcome,, the opportunity to

look into your specific question or problem and to be of assis-

tance in resolving it promptly.

The model and serial numbers of your new TV are located on the

back of the TV cabinet. For your future convenience and protec-

tion, we suggest that you recorJ 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 perforations

in the back and bottom of the cabinet. Do not

block these vents or you will shorten the life of

your TV.

_.iPower 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 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

technicmn before using it again.

Please read and observe each safety point in the "Safety

Tips" folder when installing and using your TV.

VIDEO GAMES AND OTIIER FIXED

PATTERN DISPLAY CAUTION -- I5you use your TV for

video games, teletext or othm fixed displays, avoid setting the

BRIGHTNESS control for at, excessively bright picture. A

bright, fixed pattern, if used for long periods of time, can re-

sult in a permanent imprint on the TV picture tube. You can re-

duce this possibility by alternating the use of the fixed pattern

display with normal TV picture viewing, by turning down the

CONTRAST control for sustained fixed pattern use, and by

turning oft the fixed pattern display when nol in use.

PLUGGING IN YOUR 'rv -- 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 TV 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.

PICTURE SCREEN CLEANING -- Use a soft cloth mois-

tened with warm water and rub lightly in the soiled areas of

the screen. DO NOT USE A FISSUE OP, PAPER TOWEL,

AS THESE MAY DAMAGE SURFACE. Wipe only in the

vertical (up/down) direction (along the grooves). If there is a

dirt buildup, a mild solution of warm wa:er and Ivory dish-

washing detergent may be:used. Use dr), soft cloth to dry the

screen. Care should be taken to avoid scratches or damage to

the screen surface.

NOTE -- The TV screen is easily damaged. Avoid acciden-

tal contact with the screen.

REMOTE CONTROL MODEL SC3820

TV AND VCR OPERATIONAL NOTES

Some controls on the remote, like PLAY and VOLUME will

always operate the VCR or the TV. Whether other keys

operate the TV or the VCR depends on the mode of the

remote control. For example, OFF-ON will turn the VCR ON

and OFF while the remote control is in the VCR mode. It will

turn the TV ON or OFF while the remote control is in the TV

mode.

Some of the functions provided by this remote control may

not be part of your TV and/or VCR. You wiill not be able to

activate those functions even though there is a control button

on the remote. For example, pressing TIMER provides direct

access to the Sleep Timer on many TVs. If your TV does not

have a Sleep Timer, pressing TIMER has no effect.

PREPARATION FOR USE

Batteries are provided with this remote, but you must install

them before using the remote.

INSTALLING BATTERIES

When the effective operating range of your remote becomes

noticeably shorter, replace the batteries with two (2) high

quality, alkaline, size AAA batteries.

1. Remove the battery compartment cover, PUSH

DOWN tab and PULL OUT from top.

2. Insert new batteries as indicated in the diagram inside

the compartment.

3. Replace the cover by inserting the tab on the bottom

of the cover into its housing. Snap the cover into

position.

NOTES:

• Be careful not to place heavy objects on top of the remote

control buttons. Prolonged accidental operation of the re-

mote control will shorten battery life.

• If you do not use the remote control for a month or more,

remove the batteries. Battery leakage can cause damage to

the remote control.

• Zenith is not responsible for damage caused by such battery

leakage.

such as a VCR in order to view a different picture in the PIP

inset. This video component must be connected to one of the

TV's video/audio input jacks (VIDEO 1 IN or VIDEO 2 IN)

by using Audio/Video cables.

The most common use of PIP is to view two different chan-

nels; one from the "I-9 tuner and the other frora the VCR tuner.

For example, you can view two sporting even'Is or two movies

at the same tkne.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

CARING FOR YOUR PROJECTION TV

Your projection TV will look better, have a longer life and per-

form better' if you care for it properly.

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

safety, disconnect AC power to your TV.

NOTE: If you disconnect AC power to your TV

for an extended time period, you will have to reset

the clock.

Picture Screen (,'leaning

Use asoft cloth moistened with warm water and rub lightly in

the soiled areas of the screen. DO NOT USE A TISSUE OR

PAPER TOWEL, AS THESE MAY DAMAGF SURFACE.

Wipe only in the vertical (up/dc, wn) direction (along the

grooves). If there is a dirt buildup, a mild solution of warm

water and Ivory dishwashin_, detergent may be used. Use dry

soft cloth to dry the screen. Care should be taken to avoid

scratches or damage to the screen surface.

NOTE --The TV screen is easily damaged. Avoid acciden-

tal contact with the screen.

EXTENDED ABSENCE

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

want to disconnect AC power to your TV. This will protect

the projection TV from possible damage from lightning or

power line surges. If you have an outdoor antenna, you may

also want to disconnect the antenna from the wall plate con-

nection center

NOTE: If you disconnect AC power to your q-V for an ex-

tended time period, you will have to reset the clock.

PICTURE INTERFERENCE

Your 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.

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 corrected through

the use of a better antenna, ,;igral amplifiers, or various filter

devices. See your TV dealer for additional information, and ac-

cessories available for your projection TV.

tems, cable converters or cable company-supplied equipment;

gence, acts of God or other causes beyond the control of Ze-

nith. Any alteration of the product after manufacture voids this
