I was just given a Zenith PRO841X. I realize this is an old unit (1990), but it seems to have potential to still work. Unfortunately, it's not working at the moment. Here's what I've found:
-All lamps work and align. The setup menus look fine.
-Using the Y/C input, nothing is projected, however...
-Looking into the lamps, the outline of the material being viewed is dimly visible on the lamps
-Altering the video feed by hitting stop, fast fwd, etc, causes the "MUTED" tag to appear and/or change (steady vs wobbly)
-This is the strangest part! There is a setup menu item called "Teletext", I have no idea what it is for, but when I enter the adjustment mode for it, the video input is projected perfectly clearly, but for just 1 second!
That last bit makes me believe I can get this thing working with just some tweaking. Does anybody have any advice? I don't have a remote control, but I could probably order one if necessary. I haven't been able to find a copy of the manual online either, so if anyone knows a place where that might be found...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Sean
