HOW TO GET A GOOD COLOR PICTURE
WITH COLOR SENTRY ON
Your COLOR SENTRY system has been designed to
provide an excellent color picture, automatically, under
typical viewing and telecast conditions. However, because
TV signals vary in different localities, and because
people's preferences differ, your new Zenith Color TV
lets you make additional adjustments if you wish.
To make sure the COLOR SENTRY gives you the kind of
picture you want, follow these steps:
1. Push the ON-OFF switch to turn the set ON and allow
it to warm up for two or three minutes.
2. Select a channel that is telecasting in color.
3. Be sure that your set is properly fine-tuned. ae
fine-tuning section on pages 5 and 6.)
4, Push the COLOR SENTRY control to the ON position
(a bright yellow color will show in the control). This
should give you an excellent color picture. If this isn't
the picture you want, follow steps 5 through 9.
. Turn the PICTURE control to an approximate mid-range
position.
6. Now turn the BLACK LEVEL control to the middle, or
7.
detent, position. This position will usually assure that
areas of the picture which should be black are black.
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.
For a wider range of color tuning adjustments, tune the
color picture with the COLOR SENTRY control OFF.

NOTE: If you still don't get a good picture after fine-tuning
and following the above steps, check your antenna
system. (See antenna section on pages 11 and 12.)
