Zenith has long been a top television producer, and nearly all of its televisions currently produced come equipped with a remote control. This remote can control just about every aspect of the television, as well as other electronic devices as well (such as DVD and VHS players).
Basic Functions
Become well-acquainted with the "Power" button. Located at the top of the remote, it will either say "Power" next to it or have a circular image with a line through the top of it. The other pivotal buttons you will need to know are the "Volume" and "Channel" buttons. "Volume" is a series of two buttons on the left side of the remote. One button will have a plus symbol on it, the other has a minus symbol. The channel button will perfectly mirror the volume button on the right side of the remote. The only difference is that it will have a triangle pointing up on the top button, and a triangle pointing down on the bottom button.
Secondary Buttons
Although these buttons will not be used as often as the basic controls, they do come in handy: The "Recall" button (normally found between the volume and channel buttons) will take you back to the previous channel you viewed.
If you want to mute the channel completely without having to hold down the volume button, push the "Mute" button. This button will instantly silence the television.
Other buttons of note are the "Video", and, if you have an HDTV, the "HDMI" button. On Zenith televisions, RCA inputs on the back of the television which will allow you to attach a DVD or VHS player to it. Because this is not a "channel", press the "Video" button to switch from the television tuner to the DVD player (or whatever else is connected to the "Video" input). For HD televisions, there is an input called HDMI, which is a special port that allows high-definition signals to be received. You will connect a Blu-ray player to one of these ports. Press the "HDMI" cable to switch from the television tuner to the HDMI port.
Programming Other Devices
Using the remote, you can control not only your television, but also other equipment hooked up to the television. To start, make sure the device is connected to the television, then manually turn the power on. Now, press down the "PRG" button on the Zenith remote for a few seconds until the light on the remote blinks on. Press down the button of the device you would like to control. If you are programming a DVD player, press the "DVD" button on the remote. With the remote pointed at the device, type in the three-digit code associated with it. This code can be found in the remote control's user manual. If you do not currently have i,t see the link provided in "Resources." Hit the "Enter" button once the code has been pressed. Now press "Power" and wait for a confirmation on the screen.
