Introduction  
Key Features Overview  
Your TV is equipped with features that will add to your TV viewing experience. The following  
information summarizes a few of these features. Chapter 3 provides more information about the  
rest of the TV’s features and how to use them.  
Precision CRTs  
Your HDTV Monitor features Precision CRTs. These Precision CRTs (cathode ray tubes) produce  
sharp, high-resolution images, with great detail and better transition between images than  
regular CRTs.  
DVI-HDTV Input  
Lets you connect a component with a DVI (Digital Visual Interface) output. DVI provides an  
uncompressed, digital video interface developed for high-bandwidth digital connection. It  
supports the overlay of high-resolution graphics needed by some electronic program guide  
navigation and other interactive services. DVI, when combined with HDCP (High bandwidth  
Digital Content Protection) technology, creates a protected digital connection. The DVI-HDTV  
connection is designed to display either progressive scan (480p) or HDTV (1080i) signals at a  
bandwidth of up to 1.78 Gigabits per second.  
PIP (Picture-In-Picture) and POP (Picture-Outside-Picture)  
Description: PIP lets you watch two channels at one time – one channel on the main screen  
and the other in a smaller window. POP also lets you watch two channels at one time – one  
channel on the left side of the screen (the main picture) and the other on the right.  
Requirements: Press the PIP button to bring up the PIP window. Press again to bring up POP.  
Chapter 3 has detailed instructions on how to use the PIP and POP features.  
Note: PIP and POP are not available for DVI or component video sources (CMP1 or CMP2).  
V-Chip: Parental Controls (for the U.S. and Canada)  
Description: You can block programs and movies by content, age-based ratings, and/or movie  
ratings.  
Requirements:  
Set up the Parental Control menu in the TV’s main menu (Chapter 3 has details).  
The broadcasters must use the rating system when they send the program to your TV in  
order for your TV to block the program.  
Parental controls must be locked for these settings to take affect.

Connections & Setup  
Things to Consider Before You Connect  
Protect Against Power Surges  
Connect all components before you plug any of their power cords into the wall outlet.  
Turn off the TV and/or component before you connect or disconnect any cables.  
Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Important Safety  
Instructions on page 1.  
Protect Components from Overheating  
Don’t block ventilation holes on any of the components. Arrange the components so that air  
can circulate freely.  
Don’t stack components.  
If you place components in a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.  
If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier, place it on the top shelf so the heated air from it  
won’t flow around other components.  
Position Cables Properly to Avoid Audio Interference  
Insert each cable firmly into the designated jack.  
If you place components above the TV, route all cables down the side of the back of the TV  
instead of straight down the middle of the TV.  
If your antenna uses 300-ohm twin lead cables, do not coil the cables. Also, keep the twin  
lead cables away from audio/video cables.  
Important Stand and Base Safety Information  
Choose the location for your TV carefully. Place the TV on a stand or base that is of adequate size  
and strength to prevent the TV from being accidentally tipped over, pushed off, or pulled off. This  
could cause personal injury and/or damage the TV. Refer to the Important Safety Instructions on  
page 1.  
Use Indirect Light  
Don’t place the TV where sunlight or room lighting will be directed toward the screen. Use soft or  
indirect lighting.

Connections & Setup  
TV+ A/V Receiver or Speakers  
These are two different ways your TV uses a component to hear audio.  
1. Connect audio cables to either the FIXED or VARIABLE AUDIO L and R OUTPUT jacks and  
to the Audio Inputs on the A/V receiver.  
• FIXED provides fixed-level audio output from the TV. This audio output is ideal for  
connecting to an A/V receiver that has its own volume control.  
VARIABLE provides variable-level audio output. Volume levels can be controlled by  
the volume controls on the TV and TV remote control.  
-OR-  
2. Use speaker wire to connect the TV to external speakers.  
• The EXT/INT switch beside the jacks let you turn the TV’s internal speakers on or  
off. If you connect external speakers, slide the switch to EXT so the audio is sent to  
the external speakers only. Choosing INT sends the audio to the TV’s speakers only.  
Note: The external speaker rating is 8 ohms with 15 watts power handling capabilities.

Connections & Setup  
Explanation of Jacks (in alphabetical order)  
This section describes the jacks you can use to make connections. There are several ways to  
connect components to your TV.  
ANTENNA/CABLE Lets you connect a coaxial cable to receive the signal from the  
antenna, cable, cable box, or if using the examples on pages 6-11, a VCR.  
��  
�  
AUDIO/VIDEO OUTPUT Lets you connect an amplifier or audio receiver for improved  
sound quality or an external video monitor.  
AUDIO/VIDEO OUTPUT  
 
FIXED AUDIO L/R Provides fixed-level audio output from the TV. This audio  
output is ideal for connecting an A/V receiver when you want to control the volume  
through the A/V receiver.  
 
 
��  
VARIABLE AUDIO Provides variable-level audio output. Volume levels are  
controlled by the volume controls on the TV and remote control.  
SUBWOOFER Provides lower bass audio frequencies from the TV to a subwoofer.  
Note: If you’ve connected a subwoofer, make sure you set the External Subwoofer  
option in the Sound menu. Go to page 33 for instructions.  
COMPONENT INPUTS Lets you connect a component video source, such as a DVD  
player.  
 
 
CMP1 Y PB PR (Component Video) Provides optimum picture quality because  
the video is separated into three signals. Use three video-grade cables for the  
connection. When using CMP1 Y PB PR, make sure to connect left and right audio  
cables to the CMP1 L and R Audio Input jacks.  
 
�  
CMP1 L (Audio) Provides left audio connection. The left audio connector is  
usually white.  
 
�  
CMP1 R (Audio) Provides right audio connection. The right audio connector is  
usually red.  
CMP2 Y PB PR, and L and R Audio Allows you to connect a second component  
video source. Their description is the same as CMP1 above. When using CMP2 Y PB  
PR, make sure you connect the left and right audio cables to the CMP2 Audio jacks.  
COMPOSITE INPUTS Lets you connect another component such as a VCR, DVD  
�  
player, or laserdisc player. Its AUDIO jacks are the same as described for CMP1 above.  
 
 
VID1 S-VIDEO Provides better picture quality than the video jacks (VID1 and 2  
Video) because the color part of the picture is separated from the black and white  
part of the picture. When using VID1 S-VIDEO, make sure to connect left and right  
audio cables to the VID1 L/MONO and R Audio Input jacks.  
 
VID1 V (Video) Provides composite video connection. The video connector is  
usually yellow.  
VID2 S-VIDEO, V and L/MONO and R Audio Allows you to connect a component  
such as a VCR, DVD player, or laserdisc player. Their description is the same as  
VID1 above.  
Note: For each VID jack group (VID1 and VID2), you may connect either an S-Video  
or Video cable. Do not connect both at the same time in either of the VID jack  
groups.

Connections & Setup  
DVI-HDTV Input Lets you connect an HDTV Tuner with a DVI output.  
DVI (Digital Visual Interface) Provides an uncompressed, digital video interface  
developed for high-bandwidth digital connection. It supports the overlay of high-  
resolution graphics needed by some electronic program guide navigation and other  
interactive services. DVI, when combined with HDCP (High bandwidth Digital  
Content Protection) technology, creates a protected digital connection. The DVI-  
HDTV connection is designed to display either progressive scan (480p) or HDTV  
(1080i) signals at a bandwidth of up to 1.78 Gigabits per second.  
�  
L (Audio) Provides left audio connection when using the DVI jack. The left audio  
connector is usually white.  
R (Audio) Provides right audio connection when using the DVI jack. The right  
audio connector is usually red.  
Note: Remember to connect the left and right audio cables because the DVI cable  
carries only the picture signal, not the sound.  
EXTERNAL SPEAKERS  
Right and Left Speaker Terminals Let you connect external left and right  
speakers to the TV to receive left and right sound.  
+

Auto Convergence  
Your TV’s picture tubes might have been disturbed during delivery or after you  
moved the TV, causing the color in your TV to be out of alignment. The colors  
adjust by starting auto convergence.  
IMPORTANT: Auto convergence works best once the TV has warmed up  
for at least an hour. If you've just unpacked your TV, it's a good idea to  
repeat the Auto convergence function when the TV's been running for at  
least an hour. See page 38 for more information about Auto convergence.  
1. Press OK to begin auto convergence.  
2. When the auto convergence is complete, the Red center convergence menu  
appears. The cross in the middle of the screen should be yellow. If it is not,  
use the arrow buttons to move the red cross to overlap the green cross.  
Press OK when adjustments are complete.  
Note:  
If you're using an HD source (such as an  
HDTV tuner or HDTV satellite receiver) on the  
CMPNT or DVI input, you should run Auto  
convergence separately for that input as well.  
Tune to the input you're using for the HD  
source, then go to page 38 for information  
on Auto convergence.  
3. The Blue center convergence menu appears with a cyan cross in the middle  
of the screen. If it is not, use the arrow buttons to move the blue cross  
to overlap the green cross. Press OK (the TV tunes to the last selected/  
available channel in the channel list).

Using the Remote Control  
Programming the Remote to Operate  
Other Components  
Indicator  
The universal remote can be programmed to operate most brands of remote  
controllable components. The remote is already programmed to operate most  
RCA, GE, and Proscan components.  
Also, the AUX•HD button can be programmed to operate most brands of an  
additional remote-controllable component (such as a VCR, DVD player, satellite  
receiver or cable box).  
Note: The TV button can’t be programmed on this remote.  
Find Out If You Need to Program the Remote  
To determine whether the universal remote needs to be programmed to operate  
one of the components connected to your TV, such as a DVD player, do the  
following:  
1. Turn on the component (in this example, a DVD player).  
2. Point the remote at the component.  
3. Press the corresponding component button (in this example, the DVD  
button).  
4. Press ON•OFF to see if the DVD player responds. If the DVD player  
doesn’t respond, you need to program the remote to operate it.  
You’ll use these buttons when  
you program the remote.  
Programming the Remote  
There are two ways to program the remote control:  
Important: The remote may not  
be compatible with all models of  
all brands of components. It also  
may not operate all functions of  
the remote that came with your  
component.  
automatic code search  
direct entry  
Using Automatic Code Search  
The following instructions can be used to program the remote to operate each  
of your components. If you want to stop the automatic code search without  
programming any of your components, press CLEAR until the indicator on the  
remote turns off.  
Note: The AUX•HD button on this remote is set by default to search  
for codes for DVD players only. If you want to program it for use with a  
different component, use the direct entry method.  
1. Turn on the component you want to operate (VCR, DVD player, etc.)  
2. Press and hold the component button you want to program (DVD or  
AUX•HD). While holding the component button, press and hold ON•OFF  
until the indicator on the remote turns on, then release both buttons.  
Tip  
3. Point the remote at the component. Press and release PLAY, then wait 5  
seconds or until the indicator on the remote stops flashing.  
To stop the automatic code search without  
programming any components, press and hold  
CLEAR until the indicator on the remote turns  
off.  
At this point the remote is searching for the correct code to program. If,  
after 5 seconds, the component you want to operate does not turn off,  
press PLAY again to tell the remote to search the next set of codes.

Using the Remote Control  
Continue pressing PLAY until the component turns off or the indicator light  
on the remote turns off. If the indicator light turns off, then all codes for that  
particular component have been tested once. If the component does not turn  
off, then the remote can’t be programmed to operate that component.  
If the component you want to control does turn off:  
1. Press and release REVERSE, then wait 2 seconds. Repeat this step until the  
device turns back ON.  
2. To finish, press and hold STOP until the indicator on the remote turns off.  
A code that controls your component has been saved to that remote button.  
Using Direct Entry  
1. Turn on the component to be programmed.  
Important  
You must continue pressing the component  
button while you enter the code.  
2. Look up the brand and code number(s) for the component on the code list  
in this section.  
Let’s say you have a Zenith DVD player. To  
program the universal remote to operate the  
DVD player, you would:  
3. Press and hold the component button you want to program on the remote.  
4. Enter the code from the remote control code list on the following pages. If  
the indicator flashes, you have either entered an invalid code or the button  
isn’t programmable.  
Press and hold the DVD button while you  
enter the first code listed for Zenith in the  
DVD Codes column.  
5. Release the component button, point the remote at the component and  
then press ON•OFF to see if the component responds to the command. If it  
doesn’t, try pressing the component button and then ON•OFF again.  
Release the DVD button. Press ON•OFF to  
see if the DVD player responds. If it doesn’t,  
follow the same steps, but enter the second  
code for Zenith DVD players instead of the  
first.  
If you get no response, repeat these steps using the next code listed for  
your brand, until the component responds to the remote commands.  
If you try all the codes for your component brand and none work, try the  
automatic code search method. If automatic code search doesn’t find the  
code, the remote is not compatible with your component.

Using the Remote Control  
Component buttons  
How to Use the Remote After You’ve Programmed It  
Because this universal remote can control several different components (TV,  
DVD, VCR, satellite receiver, etc.) it uses operational modes triggered by the  
component buttons. For example, if you want the remote to control the TV, you  
would press the TV button to put the remote into TV mode before you could  
control the TV.  
�  
��  
�  
�  
1. Press the appropriate component button (DVD or AUX•HD) to set the  
remote to control the component.  
2. Press ON•OFF to turn the component ON or OFF.  
3. Use the remote buttons that apply to that component.  
Notes:  
The remote may not be compatible with all brands and models of  
components. It also may not operate all functions of the remote that  
came with your component.  
If you keep pressing buttons and nothing happens, the remote is  
probably in the wrong mode. You must press the component button  
that matches the component you want to operate (i.e., if you want to  
operate the DVD player, press DVD on the remote control to put the  
remote in DVD mode.)  
Using the INPUT Button  
Use the INPUT button to scroll through the available input channels and view  
components you have connected to the TV.  
1. Press TV to place the remote in TV mode. Make sure the component you  
want to view is turned ON.  
2. Press INPUT to tune to an available input channel.  
3. To return to the channel you were previously watching on TV, press CH+ or  
CH- button.

Using the TV’s Features  
Parental Controls and V-Chip  
The choices in the US V-CHIP and Canada V-CHIP menus involve software inside your TV  
(referred to as V-Chip) which allows you to block TV programs and movies based on violence,  
sex, or other content you may believe children should not view.  
Once you block programs, you can unblock programs by entering a password.  
By default, the software inside your TV is turned “off.” For instructions to turn on V-Chip, go to  
page 31.  
Note: Parental Control settings are not available for DVI, CMP1, or CMP2 inputs.  
How V-Chip Works for USA and Canada  
V-Chip reads the program’s age-based rating (TV-MA, TV-14, etc.) and content themes [(Violence  
(V), Adult Language (L), etc.)]. If you have blocked the rating and/or content themes that the  
program contains, you will receive the message This channel has not been approved for viewing.  
Change channel or press OK to enter password and temporarily deactivate the Parental Control.  
Broadcasters are not required to provide content themes, so programs received with no content  
themes will only be blocked if you block their age-based rating. You can also block out programs  
that have been given an Exempt rating, and programs that are considered unrated. The next  
several pages have tables showing the TV age-based ratings and content themes for the US and  
Canada.  
US V-Chip TV Rating Limit  
The V-Chip TV Rating Limit lets you decide which TV programs can and cannot  
be viewed.  
To set TV programming limits:  
1. Choose Parental Control from the MAIN MENU. If Parental Controls have  
previously been locked, you must enter your password.  
2. Highlight and select US V-Chip. Then select V-Chip TV Rating.  
3. Once you get to the V-Chip TV rating limit screen, use the arrow buttons  
and OK on your remote to change the status of a TV program rating or  
content theme from View to Block.  
4. For TV rating limits to take effect, lock Parental Controls by accessing the  
Lock parental controls menu.  
The following sections give you more details about how to change the status of  
TV program limits.  
Note: If you forget your password, follow step one above to get to the  
password entry screen. Then press the VOL+ and CH+ buttons on the TV's  
front panel at the same time for at least 8 seconds. You will receive an  
on-screen message that Parental Controls have been unlocked once you've  
successfully reset the password.

Rating  
18+  
Canadian English V-Chip Rating System  
Adults. Programming intended for adults 18 and older. It may contain elements of violence, language, and  
sexual content which could make it unsuitable for viewers under 18. Violence Guidelines: May contain  
violence integral to the development of the plot, character or theme, intended for adult audiences. Other  
Content Guidelines: May contain graphic language and explicit portrayals of nudity and/or sex.  
Viewers 14 and over. Programming contains themes or content which may not be suitable for viewers  
under the age of 14. Parents are strongly cautioned to exercise discretion in permitting viewing by pre-  
teens and early teens. Violence Guidelines: May contain intense scenes of violence. Could deal with mature  
themes and societal issues in a realistic fashion. Other Content Guidelines: May contain scenes of nudity  
and/or sexual activity. There could be frequent use of profanity.  
14+  
PG  
Parental Guidance. Programming intended for a general audience but which may not be suitable for  
younger children (under the age of 8). Parents may consider some content inappropriate for unsupervised  
viewing by children aged 8-13. Violence Guidelines: Depictions of conflict and/or aggression will be limited  
and moderate; may include physical, fantasy, or supernatural violence. Other Content Guidelines: May  
contain infrequent mild profanity, or mildly suggestive language. Could also contain brief scenes of nudity.  
General Audience. Programming considered acceptable for all ages groups. While not designed  
specifically for children, it is understood younger viewers may be part of the audience. Violence Guidelines:  
Will contain very little violence, either physical or verbal or emotional. Will be sensitive to themes which  
could frighten a younger child, will not depict realistic scenes of violence which minimize or gloss over the  
effects of violent acts. Other Content Guidelines: There may be some inoffensive slang, no profanity and no  
nudity.  
G
Children 8 and older. Programming generally considered acceptable for children 8 years and over to  
watch on their own. Violence Guidelines: Violence will not be portrayed as the preferred, acceptable,  
or only way to resolve conflict or encourage children to imitate dangerous acts which they may see on  
television. Any realistic depictions of violence will be infrequent, discreet, of low intensity and will show  
the consequences of the acts. Other Content Guidelines: There will be no profanity, nudity or sexual  
content.  
C8+  
Children. Programming intended for children under age 8. Violence Guidelines: Careful attention is paid to  
themes which could threaten children’s sense of security and well being. There will be no realistic scenes

imaginary, comedic or unrealistic in nature. Other Content Guidelines: There will be no offensive language,  
nudity or sexual content.

Adults. Programming is for adults only. This program contains sustained violence or extremely violent  
scenes.  
18 ans +  
Viewers 16 and over. Programming is not suitable for those under age 16. This program contains  
frequent scenes of violence or intensely violent scenes.  
16 ans +  
13 ans +  
Viewers 13 and over. Programming may not be suitable for children under the age of 13. This  
program either contains several violent scenes or one or more scenes that are violent enough to affect  
them. Viewing in the company of an adult is therefore strongly recommended for children under the  
age of 13.  
Viewers 8 and over. Not recommended for young children. This program is suitable for most  
audiences, but it contains mild or occasional violence that could upset young children. Viewing in  
the company of an adult is therefore recommended for young children (under the age of 8) who  
do not distinguish between reality and imagination. Programming generally considered acceptable  
for children 8 years and over to watch on their own. Violence Guidelines: Violence will not be  
portrayed as the preferred, acceptable, or only way to resolve conflict or encourage children to  
imitate dangerous acts which they may see on television. Any realistic depictions of violence will  
be infrequent, discreet, of low intensity and will show the consequences of the acts. Other Content  
Guidelines: There will be no profanity, nudity or sexual content.  
8 ans +  
General Audience. This program is suitable for audiences of all ages. It contains no violence, or any  
violence that it does contain is either minimal or is presented in a humorous manner, as a caricature,  
or in an unrealistic way.

Using the TV’s Menu System  
Video noise reduction Reduce picture “static” or any type of interference.  
This feature is especially useful for providing a clearer picture in weak  
analog signal conditions. Press the right arrow to choose between: Off for  
no noise reduction; Minimum for a softer, smoother picture that retains  
picture sharpness and detail; Medium for a slightly softer picture than the  
Minimum setting; Maximum for an even softer, smoother picture than the  
other settings (the picture detail is somewhat decreased).  
Optimized still picture When enabled (box checked), enhances the picture  
specifically for still frames (for example, if you're watching a slideshow on  
your HDTV monitor, or if you've paused a frame of a DVD).  
Auto Skin Tone When enabled (box checked), minimizes the flesh tone  
variations of the TV picture.  
Film mode (3:2 Pulldown) Automatically detects video sources that were  
originally recorded on film (like most movies) and subsequently converted  
to a different format (for TV broadcast, for example). Film mode processes  
the converted signal so that it looks as close as possible to the original.  
Another name for this process is reverse 3:2 pulldown.  
Advanced (recommended) enables the feature only when the TV  
detects that movie playback quality could be improved. Advanced is  
the default setting.  
The On setting should only be used in rare circumstances when the TV  
is used solely with film-based sources (like DVDs on a non-progressive-  
scan player).  
The Off setting turns off film mode upconversion. Try using this  
setting if you think the reverse 3:2 pulldown is causing distortions in  
your picture.  
Note: Autoformat and Video noise reduction are available for CMP1 and  
CMP2 inputs only if the signal is 480i.  
Picture Presets Displays a choice list that lets you select one of the preset  
picture settings: Vibrant, Cinematic, Natural, Sports, Videogame, Video Camera  
or Personal. Choose the setting that is best for your viewing environment. You  
can set a different picture preset for each input (including one for your regular  
TV channels).  
Tip:  
You can select a different picture preset  
(or set up a different personal preset)  
for each input. The ANTENNA/CABLE  
jack counts as a single input.  
Black Level Adjusts the brightness of the picture.  
Color Adjusts the richness of the color.  
Contrast Adjusts the difference between the light and dark areas of the  
picture.  
Sharpness Adjusts the crispness of the edges in the picture.  
Note: You can adjust sharpness for each channel and input. This is useful if  
the signal appears fuzzy.  
Color Warmth Displays a choice list that lets you set one of three automatic  
color adjustments: Cool for a more blue palette of picture colors; Normal; or  
Warm for a more red palette of picture colors. The warm setting corresponds to  
the NTSC standard of 6500 K.  
Tint Adjusts the balance between the red and green levels.  
When you change any of these picture settings, the Picture Preset changes to  
Personal. Use the left or right arrow button to make adjustments. To return to  
the Picture menu, press the up or down arrow button.
