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 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.

CONSlDERATIONS

Before you install your TV...

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

Ventilation -- Proper ventilation keeps your TV
running cool. Air circulates through perforations
in the back and bottom of the cabinet. Do not

VIDEO GAMES AND OTHER 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 pattern
display with normal TV picture viewing, by turning down the
CONTRAST control for sustained fixed pattern use, and by
turning off the fixed pattern display when not in use.

block these vents or you will shorten the life of
your TV.

_

on normal household current, 120 volt 60 Hertz AC.
Power Source -- Your "IVis 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.

PLUGGING IN YOUR TV -- Be sure to plug your TV into
an "'unswitched" AC power source. The "switched" AC outlets found on some video equipment will not continue supplying 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.

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.

INTRODUCTION
METHODS

OF OPERATION

Your TV is a very sophisticated appliance. Optional features, video picture adjustments and audio sound adjustments are performed
through on-screen menus and displays. Self explanatory ICONS are used throughout. Most features can be selected and adjusted
from the comfort of your favorite chair by using either of the infrared remote controls.
Either of two remote controls can be used to operate the "IV. Use the multi-brand programmable remote if you have different brands
and types of equipment in your video system which you need to control remotely. Use the Z-Trak programmable remote if you feel
comfortable using track-ball access similar to that provided by the familiar computer mouse device. Many features can be selected
and adjusted by using the control panel provided on the "IV.
StarSight provides an electronic programming guide which is updated with new scheduling information automatically on a periodic
basis. StarSight allows you to rapidly scan through the programming guide to find a program for viewing or recording. Programs
can be searched and selected by category if desired.

VIDEO GAMES AND OTHER FIXED
PATTERN DISPLAY CAUTION
If you use your TV for video games 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 pattern display with normal
TV picture viewing, by turning down the CONTRAST
control for
sustained fixed pattern use, and by turning off the fixed pattern display when not in use.

Z-TRAK

REMOTE

Your Z-Trak remote is already programmed to work with most
Zenith VCR's. If you have a non-Zenith VCR, or if your Zenith
VCR does not respond to your Z-Trak remote, you will need to
program your remote as follows:

7.

Now try other controls on your VCR, such as Play,
Rewind, etc., to make sure that the correct VCR
brand code number was selected. (If not, repeat
steps 3 to 7.)

1.

Refer to the table of VCR Codes, in this section of
the guide. Locate the 3-digit number which corresponds to your brand of VCR.

8.

The MUTE key can be pressed at any time to cancel
Programming mode. The original VCR brand code
will remain unchanged.

2.

Make sure your TV is turned

3,

While pointing the Z-Trak remote towards your
Zenith TV, simultaneously
hold the MUTE and
ENTER keys until the TV displays a VCR "Setup"
screen (about three seconds). The VCR key will also
light upon entering the Programming mode.

4.

Notice that the current VCR brand code (initially
"201") is displayed on the TV screen. Roll the trackball up or down (or use CHAN Up/Down) to choose
the 3-digit number of your VCR.

5.

When the correct 3-digit number is displayed on the
TV screen, use the POWER key to make sure that
your VCR turns on and off properly. If it does not
respond, refer to the VCR Codes table to select a
different 3-digit number.

6.

NOTE:

on.

Only the VCR mode can be programmed.

9. The Z-Trak remote will exit Programming mode
automatically after 60 seconds if no key press or
trackball movement is detected.

AUTO

FIND

OPTION

If you have tried all 3-digit codes listed for your VCR manufacturer, and none of them operate your VCR, you will need to try
"AutoFind" to see if a different code will operate your VCR:
1. Make sure your VCR is turned on.
2.

Simultaneously
hold the MUTE and ENTER keys until the VCR key lights up (about three seconds).

If your VCR turns on and off successfully, press the
trackball (or ENTER) to save the current VCR brand
code. The setup screen will disappear from the TV.
Also, the VCR key will flash 3 times upon exiting
the Programming
mode. The remote will be in the

MAINTENANCE
CARING

FOR YOUR

AND

TV

Your TV will look better, have a longer life and perform better
if you care for it properly.

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.

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

Cabinet

TROUBLESHOOTING

afety, unplug the TV from the power outlet.
NOTE: If you unplug your TV, you will have to
reset the clock to the current time.
Care

Non-Wood Cabinet or Cabinet Components Moisten a soft
cloth with a mild soap solution or Ivory dishwashing detergent. Wipe the surface with a damp cloth. Then rinse the cloth
in clean water and wipe the surface again. Allow the TV to airdry before turning it on.

To delay new dust accumulation, wet a soft cloth in lukewarm
water in which a little fabric softener or Ivory dishwashing detergent 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.

Wood Cabinets or Cabinet Components Use any good furniture cleaner 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 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 to disconnect the antenna lead-in wires on 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:
Speckled or Streaked Picture Can be caused by nearby automobile ignition, electrical appliances, etc. 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.

rVC_*,DI_

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 struclures.
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
available TV accessories.
