Zenith System 3 - With Color Sentry Control off

HOW
TO
GET
A
GOOD
COLOR
PICTURE
WITH COLOR SENTRY OFF
The preceding page tells how to get a good color picture
with the COLOR SENTRY control ON. But there may be
times when you will want to make even more adjustments.
You can do this with the COLOR SENTRY control OFF.
This is because, with the control OFF, the COLOR LEVEL
and TINT controls can be adjusted and the PICTURE
control has a wider range of adjustments. Just follow
these steps:
1.
Turn your set on and allow it to warm up for two or
three minutes. Push the COLOR SENTRY control to the
OFF position and be sure you select a channel that is
telecasting in color.
. Turn the COLOR LEVEL control all the way to the left
to change the color picture to black-and-white.
. Turn the PICTURE control to an approximate mid-range
position.
. Now turn the BLACK LEVEL control to the middle, or
detent, position. This position will usually assure that
areas of the picture which should be black are black.
. Now turn the COLOR LEVEL control to give the picture
as much color as you want.
_ Turn the TINT control for the most natural flesh tones.
. Turn the PICTURE control in either direction to get the
brightness level you want.
. If the dark areas and colors appear faded or washed-
out, the BLACK LEVEL control should be turned to the
left. If light backgrounds and colors appear too dark,
it should be turned to the right.
. We recommend you set the SHARPNESS control in the
mid-range, or detent, position. If you prefer a softer
picture, turn the control to the left. Turn it to the right
for a sharper picture.
