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.

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 assistance 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 protection, we suggest that you record these numbers here:

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 effectively to ordinary service needs.

If you should have an unusual performance or service problem
that cannot be satisfactorily resolved by your distributorapproved Zenith service center, contact the regional Zenith distributor in your area, or write:

INSTALLATION

CONSIDERATIONS
Please read and observe each safety point in tile "SaleD
Tips" folder when installing and using your TV.

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

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 result in a permanent imprint on the TV picture
tube. You can reduce this possibility by alternating the use of
the fixed pattem display with normal TV picture viewing, by
turning down the CONTRAST control for sustained fixed pattern use, and by turning offthe fixed pattern display when not
in use.

block these vents or you will shorten the life of
your TV.
Power Source -- Your TV is designed to operate
on nonnal 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 nonstandard. A new outlet should be installed by a
qualified electrician.

the screen. DO NOT USE A TISSUE OR 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 water and Ivory dishwashing detergent may be used. Use dry soft cloth to dry the

Safe Operation -- Your TV is manufactured and
tested with your safety in mind. However, unusual
stress caused by dropping or mishandling, 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.

MAINTENANCE
CARING

FOR YOUR

PROJECTION

AND TROUBLESHOOTING

TV

Your projection TV will look better, have a longer life and perform better if you care for it properly.
First check to see that the TV is off. For added
safety,
AC powerACtopower
your TV.
NOTE: disconnect
If you disconnect
to your TV
for an extended time period, you will have to reset
the clock.

Picture Screen Cleaning
Use a soft cloth moistened with warm water and rub lightly ill
the soiled areas of the screen. DO NOT USE A TISSUE OR
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
water and Ivory dishwashing 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 accidental 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 connection center

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 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.

PROCARE2

NOTE: If you disconnect AC power to your TV for an extended time period, you will have to reset the clock.

Ghosts or Reflections Caused by signals being retlected
from surrounding buildings, water tanks, or other high structures.
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, signal amplifiers, or various filter
devices. See your TV dealer for additional information, and accessories available for your projection TV.

Welcome into the Zenith family! We believe that you will be
pleased with your new Zenith Projection TV. Please read this
Consumer Protection Plan carefully. It is a "ONE YEAR

warranty, as defined under federal law. This warranty gives

Service Labor and Parts -- During a period of one year
from effective warranty date, Zenith will supply new or remanufactured replacement picture tubes or other parts, and
will pay for service labor by a Zenith distributor or
distributor-approved Zenith service center, when such parts or
service labor are needed to repair the product as a result of
manufacturing defects. Further, Zenith will supply a new or remanufactured replacement for any picture tube which fails during the second year after effective warranty date because of a
manufacturing defect. Replacement parts are warranted for the
remaining portion of the original warranty period. The above
service labor warranty applies only in the U.S.A.
