(Required) Plug your VCR into an unswitched 120 Vac, 60 Hz household power outlet. Turn on the VCR by pressing the POWER on the remote or on the VCRs front panel. While plugged into an AC outlet, the VCR consumes 3W of electrical power in OFF condition. Do not plug the VCR into a switched power outlet. Otherwise, when the power is switched off, the VCR turns off. You may then have to reset the time and date, and reprogram operational features. 2 3 Set Position of the CH3/CH4 Switch
(Required) The CH3/CH4 switch on the VCRs back panel determines which channel the VCR uses to send video signals to your TV. The TV must be tuned to the same channel you set with the CH3/CH4 switch to see tape playback and status displays from the VCR. To determine which video channel provides the best picture for your system, try the switch in CH3 position and tune your TV to channel 3; then try the CH4 position and tune your TV to channel 4. For a test display, press the TV/VCR button on remote repeatedly until the VCR indicator light appears in the VCRs front panel display. Press MENU on the remote to see the main menu.

P A G E 3 2 TROUBLESHOOTING Troubleshooting Some quick and easy tips to fixing problems yourself. Moisture Condensation Moisture condensation can occur:
When the video recorder is moved from a cold place to a warm place. In locations where moisture condensation may occur:
Keep the power cord plugged into an AC outlet and POWER On. This will help prevent condensation. Under extremely humid conditions. When condensation has occurred, wait a few hours for the VCR to dry before using it. Magnetic Field from Other Equipment Keep the VCR and videotapes away from strong magnetic fields, such as those produced by a vacuum cleaner, refrigerator, or air conditioner. Video Head Cleaning Your VCR automatically cleans the heads as it is used. However, after long periods of use, your video heads may become clogged with accumulated dirt, causing distortion. When this occurs, use a do-it-yourself wet-type head cleaning cassette available from your Zenith dealer. Caution:
Do not use a dry-type head-cleaning system. It may seriously damage the VCR and cassettes used in the VCR. Snow, streaking in picture, and horizontal pulling indicate the need for professional video head cleaning. See your Zenith approved service center for cleaning. Cabinet Cleaning Clean the outside surfaces of the VCR with a soft lint-free cloth as required. Use care not to scratch the VCR during cleaning.
