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 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., Can-

ada and Mexico who can attend promptly and effectively to or-

dinary service needs.

If you should have an unusualperformanceor service problem

thatcannot be satisfactorilyresolved by your Zenith dealeror

Zenith authorized service center, contact us at:

Zenith Electronics Corporation

Customer Service Department

1000 Milwaukee Avenue

Glenview, IL 60025

Telephone: (708) 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 record these numbers here:

Model No.

Serial No.

Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation.

"Dolby" and the double-D symbol are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories

Licensing Corporation.

INSTALLATION CONSlDERATIONS

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.

_Power Source -- Your "IVis designed to operate

on normal household current, 120 volt 60 Hertz AC.

Do not attemptto operateit 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 the "Safety

Tips" folder when installing and using your TV.

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 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 off the fixed pattern display 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 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, 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.

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 infraredremote 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 programfor viewing or recording. Programs

can be searched and selected by category if desired.

UNIVERSAL REMOTE CONTROL

INTRODUCTION

This universal remote control operates the common features of most, but not all, models and brands of IR (infrared) controlled TVs,

VCRs, cable converters, video disc players, and audio equipment. The remote may provide functions thatare not available on your

equipment, e.g., menu operations. Some functions of your particular equipment may not be controlled by this remote. In such cases,

use the original remote control for your equipment.

BATTERY INSTALLATION

Batteries are provided, but must be installed before using the

remote control. When it no longer functions normally, or

when it loses memory, replace the batteries with two high-

quality, alkaline, size AAA batteries. Match plus with plus (+

with +), minus with minus (- with -) in the battery compartment.

Unless your equipment responds to the factory preset codes,

i.e.. I01 for TV, 201 for VCR, 353 for CABLE, and 401 for

AUX., you will need to reprogram the remote with the codes

of your particular equipment after you replace batteries.

NOTES:

• Do not place heavy objects on top of the remote control

keys. Prolonged unintentional operation of the remote short-

ens battery life.

• Remove the batteries if the remote control will not be used

for a month or more. Tm_MANUFACTURER IS NOT

UNIVERSAL REMOTE CONTROL

PROGRAMMING YOUR REMOTE

If you are using Zenith products, the remote is programmed for

the most commonly used codes. For other brands-- or if your

remote fails to control your Zenith products -- you will have

to program the remote.

Follow these steps for each product you are using:

1. Look up the three-digit code for your brand (such as

Zenith) and type of equipment (such as VCR) in the

code table on the following page.

2. Press and hold PRG with a small blunt object until

the indicator lights (about three seconds).

3. Press TV, VCR, CABLE, or AUX to select the prod-

uct you want your remote to control. (Use CABLE

or AUX, to program your remote for a second TV or

VCR or to program your remote for a video disc

player or audio equipment.)

4. Key in the three-digit code for your equipment, then

press ENTER/TUNE. The indicator light should

flash, then turn off to'indicate that the code was ac-

cepted. If the indicator stays on, repeat steps 3 and 4

or try using a different code.

5. Write the codes that operate your equipment on the

label inside the battery compartment for future

reference.

To erase all code programming and return to the factory preset

codes, key in code 9-1-1 when programming the remote.

NOTES:

•The remote cannot be programmed while in the StarSight

mode: Choose TV, VCR, CABLE or AUX mode before

pressing PRG.

•If no key on your remote is pressed within 60 seconds, the

programming process will stop, and you will have to start

again.

•You may cancel programming at any time by pressing PRG.

SPECIAL FEATURES

AUX+I, AUX+2, AUX÷3 Capability

Your remote can control up to seven electronic components. If

you have programmed the remote for four components using the

'IV, VCR, CABLE and AUX keys, you may also program it for

up to three additional components (AUX+I, AUX+2, AUX+3)

by holding the AUX key and pressing the 1,2 or 3 key during

programming. Once programmed, hold down the AUX key and

press 1, 2 or 3, to access the additional AUX +1, 2or 3 mode.

Cable Box Volume

You may use your remote to control cable box volume and mut-

ing if available on your equipment. First program your remote

with the brand code for your cable device using the CABLE or

AUX key. Then repeat the programming steps, again using the

CABLE or AUX key, but key in code 3--9-9 instead of a brand

code.

To restore TV volume/mute control to the CABLE or AUX

mode, reprogram your cable code into that mode.

Amplifier Volume Override

You may use your remote to override your TV, VCR or video

disk player's volume functions with your amplifier's volume and

muting.

1. Program your amplifier code into the CABLE mode

or one of the AUX modes.

2. Select the mode on your remote (TV, VCR, etc.)

where you want the amplifier volume control func-

tion to appear. In other words, if you want to oper-

ate the volume and mute of your amplifier while the

remote is in TV mode, press TV for this step.

3. Begin the programming steps as described in "Pro-

gramming Your Remote" and enter code 4-9-9, fol-

lowed by ENTER.

The amplifier volume and mute features are now available in the

current mode.

To restore normal volume and muting control to your TV,

VCR, cable or laser disc player, repmgram the remote for these

units into each mode (TV, VCR, etc.) to be restored.

NOTE:

•CD and tape devices will automatically select amplifier vol-

ume and mute.

_18-ol-o 4-- 4

UNIVERSAL REMOTE CONTROL

AUTO FIND OPTION

If you have tried all the codes listed for your brand and type of

product in the code table, and none of those codes operate your

equipment,you can use Auto Find to search for the code you need.

Follow these steps for each product you are using:

1. Turn the product ON and aim the remote to,yard it.

2. Press and hold PRG with a small blunt object until

the indicator lights (about three seconds).

3. Press the mode key on the remote for the product

you want to control: TV, VCR, CABLE, or AUX.

4. Key in code 0-0-0, then press ENTER within two

seconds. When the indicator light flashes three times

and remains lit, Auto Find is active.

5. Press and hold POWER, then release it, repeating

this action about once a second until the product

turns OFF.

6. Press ENTER immediately to save the code. If your

remote fails to operate the functions you use most

often, you can re-enter Auto Find and search for a

better code.

NOTES:

•The indicator light should flash OFF when you press

POWER and back ON when you release it. If the indicator

light stays on when you press POWER, Auto Find has tried

all available codes. If you finish Auto Find and the product

you want to control has not turned off, your remote cannot

control that product.

• Pressing PRG at any time during the use of Auto Find will

cancel Auto Find, and you will have to start again.

VIDEO GAMES AND OTHER FIXED

PATTERN DISPLAY CAUTION

If you use your TV for video games or other fixed displays, avoid set-

ting 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 possi-

bility 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 dis-

play when not in use.

INTRODUCTION

This multi-brand remote control operates the common features of most, but not all, models and brands of IR (infrared) controlled

VCRs. Some functions of your particular equipment may not be controlled by this remote. In such c_ses, use the original remote control for

your equipment.

BATTERY INSTALLATION

Batteries are provided, but must be installed before using the

remote control. When it no longer functions normally, or if it

loses memory, replace the batteries with two high-quality,

alkaline, size AA batteries. Match plus with plus (+ with +),

minus with minus (- with -) in the battery compartment.

Unless your equipment responds to the factory preset code,

you will need to reprogram the remote after you replace the

batteries.

PROGRAMMING YOUR Z-TRAK REMOTE

Your Z-Trak remote is already programmed to work with most

Zenith VCR's. If you have anon-Zenith VCR, or if your Zenith

VCR does not respond to your Z-Trak remote, you will need to

program your remote as follows:

1. Refer to the table of VCR Codes, in this section of

the guide. Locate the 3-digit number which corre-

sponds to your brand of VCR.

2. Make sure your TV is turned on.

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 track-

ball 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. 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

VCR mode.

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.)

8. The MUTE key can be pressed at any time to cancel

Programming mode. The original VCR brand code

will remain unchanged.

NOTE: 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 manufac-

turer, 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 un-

til the VCR key lights up (about three seconds).

not turn off, keep repeating CHAN UP followed by

POWER until the VCR responds.

4. If your VCR turned off, press ENTER to save the

code. The VCR button will flash three times after

ENTER is pressed.

5. 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 2 to 4.)

6. The MUTE key can be pressed at any time to cancel

AutoFind mode. The original VCR brand code will

remain unchanged.

7. The remote will exit AutoFind mode automatically

after 60 seconds if no key press or trackball move-

ment is detected.

2. Moisten a clean soft cloth with the solution and lay the cloth flat on a table.

3. Turn the Z-Trak remote upside down and gently roll the TRACKBALL on the cloth.

4. Allow the remote to air-dry before using it again.

CAUTION:

• DO NOT USE ALCOHOL OR OTHER CLEANING FLUIDS TO CLEAN THE TRACKBALL AS THESE MAY

DAMAGE THE REMOTE.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

CARING FOR YOUR TV

Your TV will look better, have alonger life and perform better

if you care for it properly.

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

A 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.

Cabinet Care

Non-Wood Cabinet or Cabinet Components Moisten asoft

cloth with a mild soap solution or Ivory dishwashing deter-

gent. Wipe the surface with a damp cloth. Then rinse the cloth

in clean water and wipe the surface again. Allow the TV to air-

dry before turning it on.

Wood Cabinets or Cabinet Components Use any good fur-

niture cleaner and polish. Regular care will help preserve the

finish.

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.

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.

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

clock to the current time.

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 auto-

mobile ignition, electrical appliances, etc. 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-

lures.

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.

Quick Reference Guide

This section of the guide discusses the use of StarSight with the Z-Trak trackball remote. Operation with the Z-Trak is

different than with conventional remote controls. There are far fewer buttons, because the trackball is used to move an

on-screen pointer through various menus. The following illustration shows the Z-Trak and its controls.

When operating VCR: TV/VCR Switch

In the following sections, you will be exploring the

various screen menus available in StarSight. As you do

so, keep in mind the following guidelines (quite literally,

"rules of thumb") for Z-Trak operation:

•To display the pointer, press the trackball.

• To highlight an option or make a selection, point to

the desired option and press the trackball.

• To close a StarSight screen, point to the QUIT icon

and press the trackball.

To tune a channel, point to a channel icon and press

the trackball. You can also simply highlight a

program and press the ENTER button to tune that

program.

Many StarSight program guides have more than one

screen full (one "page") of information. You can

point to the "PT" or "P_," icons and press the

trackball to flip through the pages. You can also

move more slowly by moving the pointer to the top,

bottom, or side edges of the screen and continuing to

roll the ball in that direction.

Be sure that the pointer is red, indicating that you are in

StarSight mode. If the pointer is blue, move the pointer

to the left side of the TV screen, point to the TV icon

and press the trackball.

Getting started with the Z-Trak remote

1. Press the TV button on the top of the remote. This

sets the remote's buttons for TV control, rather than

VCR control.

e

J

o

e

Press the trackball. The pointer, a small square,

appears in the middle of the screen.

You can move the pointer by rolling the trackball

up, down, left, and right. Point to the left edge of

the screen, a column of TV options appears. The

icon at the top indicates which mode is active --

StarSight or TV. A circle with a star, the StarSight

logo, represents StarSight mode; a TV icon

represents TV mode. You can switch between the

two modes by locating the pointer on the StarSight

or TV icon and pressing the trackball. The icon

switches, and the pointer changes color. A red

pointer indicates that you are in StarSight mode. A

blue pointer indicates TV mode.

Set the mode to StarSight.

As you move the pointer around the screen, you

will discover various menus. These menus are not

visible on the screen simultaneously. Each Menu

appears when you move the pointer on top of it.

There are 2 different sets of menus---one for the

StarSight mode and one for the TV mode. This

section discusses the StarSight options. For

information on the TV menus, see the TV portion

of this guide.

Move the pointer to the top of the screen. At the top

you'll see your StarSight icons:
