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 arethousands

of Zenith authorized service centers throughout the U.S., Can-

ada and Mexico who can attendpromptly and effectively to or-

dinary service needs.

Ifyou should have an unusualperformanceor service problem

thatcannot be satisfactorilyresolved byyour Zenith dealeror

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

INSTALLATION CONSlDERATIONS

Before you install your TV...

Ventilation -- Proper ventilation keeps your TV

running cool. Air circulates through perforations

in the back andbottom of the cabinet. Do not

block these vents oryou will shorten the life of

your TV.

_Power Source -- Your "IVis designed to operate

on normal household current, 120 volt 60 Hertz AC.

Do notattemptto operateitonDC 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 otherfixed 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 imprinton 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 patterndisplay 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 anddisplays. 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-Trakprogrammable 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 anelectronic 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 orrecording. Programs

can be searched and selected by category if desired.
