Welcome into the family of Zenith Color Television owners.
This guide provides instructions on how to operate your new
TV. In addition, we strongly advise you to read and observe
the precautions listed in the Safety Tips section of this operating guide. Read this publication carefully so that you will receive full enjoyment from your new Zenith TV for many years
to come.

There are many regional Zenith authorized 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 Zenith authorized
service center, call or write:

INSTALLATION

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

Before you install your TV...
Ve.ntilation -- 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 "IV for
video games or if you watch channels that contiinuously show
a logo or other fixed display, avoid setting the BRIGHTNESS
conla'ol for an excessively bright picture. A fixed display is
any image which does not change frequently, such ;is a channel network/identification or other symbol that remains in the
same location for long periods of time. A brighL, fixed pattern,
if left on 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.

your TV.

on normal household current, 120 volt 60 Hertz AC.
Power Source -- Your TV is 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
_as 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
The remote control provided with your new TV is a "multi]_rand" remote control. It will operate the common features of
:most, but not all, models and brands of IR (infrared) controlted TVs, VCRs, cable converters, video disc players, and
audio equipment. The remote may provide functions that are
not availab!e on your equipment, e.g., menu operations. Some
functions of )'our particular equipment may not be controlled
by this remote. In such cases, use the original remote control
for your equipment.

Unless your equipment responds to the factory preset codes
commonly used for Zenith products, i.e., 101 for TV, 201 for

program the remote control with the codes for your particular
equipment.

BA'FI ERY INSTALLATION
Batteries are provided,
but they must be installed before using
the remote control. When it no longer functions normally, or
when it loses memory, replace the batteries with two highquality, alkaline, size AAA batteries. Match positive with positive (+ with +), negative with negative (- with -), as shown in
the battery compartment.
Notes:

Do not place heavy objects on top of the remote control
keys; prolonged unintentional
operation of the remote
shortens battery life.
Remove the batteries if the remote control will not be used
for a month or more. Battery leakage can permanently
damage the remote, for which Zenith is not responsible.

CHOOSING
