Zenith ADVANCED SYSTEM 3 - Using the Remote Control; Introduction

USING THE REMOTE CONTROL
INTRODUCTION
The MBR3000 Remote Control supplied with your new
television allows you to operate most models of
remote-controlled TVs, VCRs and Cable TV Decooers
even if they are all of different brands. In this way, it
talces the place of the several remote controls previously
needed.
Before use, the MBR3000 must be "told" which brands of
TV, VCR and Cable TV Decoder it will be used to
operate. If you will be using your new television with a
Zenith Cable-TV Decoder and/or Zenith VHS VCR, it
has already been programmed for you. In any case,
programming is so simple that it is summarized on a
label that can be affixed to the back of the remote
control.
For more detailed instructions, see Programming the
Remote Control.
It is also important to note the following:
• For optimum performance, point the MBR3000 at the
component it is being used to operate.
• The MBR3000 may have functions not available on the
original remote control. These functions may or may
not operate your VCR or Cable-TV Decoder. Refer
to the owner's manuals supplied with these units to see
which functions are available.
• The remote control supplied with your VCR or
Cable-TV Decoder may have keys not duplicated on
the MBR3000. If these functions are desired, the
original remote control will have to be used.
• Some controls on the MBR3000 may be labeled
differently than those on the original remote control.
A few examples are shown below.

• Subscribers to Cable-TV most often use their
Cable-TV Decoder to select channels. If your
television is connected to a Cable-TV system, channel
selection will be easiest when the VCR/CABLE/fV
switch is left in the CABLE position.
• If your Cable-TV Decoder bas a volume control,
adjust it for maximum loudness. Then the volume
control setting of the TV can be used to adjust the
actual loudness or softness.
• Some controls on the MBR3000, such as PLAY and
VOLUME, will always operate the VCR or TV.
Whether other controls will operate the VCR,
Cable-TV Decoder or TV depends on the position of
the VCR/CABLE/fV switch located at the top of the
MBR3000.
For example, the OFF-ON button will turn on and off
the VCR while the VCR/CABLE/fV switch is in the
VCR position. It will turn on or off the TV when the
VCR/CABLE/fV switch is in the TV position.
Directions for each mode of operation are given on the
following pages.
