Show 10 The T Lake Tribune, Friday, October Salt LAS VEGAS, yUy 23 RCA has introduced 33 new all solid state color television sets in a major move to sell - more tubeless chassis color sets this year than all the other domestic manufacturers . combined. William H. Anderson, Division Vice President, Marketing, RCA Consumer Electronics said the new line gives RCA a clear lead in the number of models of color TV sets on the market that contain no rubes except the picture tube. With these 33 models, and r rue four solid rtate RCA models announced earlier this year, some 65 percent of the total RCA color TV line now consists of 100 percent solid state models. No one else in the industry will come close to that ratio this year, he said. "We fully expect solid state to be the most important development in the color televiMr. sion industry in 1971, Anderson added. In this age we have of consumerism, stressed specific consumer benefits in the design of our solid state models, including longer circuitry life, easier repairs, an absence of tubes that by nature wear out and are a prime reason for service calls. Mr. Anderson told RCA distributors that RCA plans to continue its drive in solid state color TV design until all RCA models are powered by with chassis ciradvanced modular plug-iextended for designed cuitry circuitry life, improved set Performance and ease of ser- - Accu-Colo- tubeless n i m vicing:.

S v - if i ! v If your TV is troublesome, don't call a sevice man jet, says Brian Marohnic, Zeniths national service manager and an expert who has worked in electronics more than 30 years. One out of five service calls could be avoided, he if consumers would said, read the TV operating guide. Set owners, he explained, should first thoroughly understand how to tune their sets. They should insist on complete instruction from their sendee man when he installs the new set. To help with this chore. Zenith developed its own unique Dial-It- . operating giide: Fine tuning, brightness, contrast, and tint are illustrated on an easy - to - understand revolving cardboard disc, instead of through pages of tedious reading as in conven- tional booklets. For comparison purposes, improper adjustment of each control is also illustrated in color. Instructions start iwth the fine tuning control. This control is important, Marohnic said, because if it isnt properly set, then nothing else will come out right. For best results, him this knob until your picture has a wormy appearance, then reverse direction just enough to dear up the picture. The trick is to stay as close the worms as possible, he said. If your receiver is equipped with AFC (automatic fine tuning control) follow the same procedure, but with APE switched off, Marohnic advised. After tuning, return to AFC no further adjustment should be needed. A tint control regulates the presentation of colors , . t I ' ;r 'KWH Al-LW- '' I I W.v from purples to greens. Always adjust for best flesh tones, he noted. Then other colors will automatically be reproduced just as the color station transmits the signal. Never adjust color in the picture by using the background or a performer's clothing as a guide. 'Marohnic said broadcast stations are occasionally at fault for varying color tones with program segments, but are working to correct the problem. The broadcasters could do a better job in maintaining phase or the accuracy in flesh tones between live, video and movie presentations, he said. And to a lesser extent there is variance in uniformity of these flesh tones between stations some of the time, he added. The Zenith name assures you of quality. jfZ Zenith offers automatic tint 36 color sets, with a control conveniently located on the front of the set. It is used by the set owner to keep flesh tones constant whenever signal variations in transmitting are caused by either camera, program or channel changes. Also offered by Zenith as a highlight of its color line is customized tuning. The feature provides quick, easy, adjustment of tint, color level, brightness, contrast and vertical hold. With it, he owner can tune the best possible picture simply by guard in one-ste- p turning each control until its e indicator is in the red-lin- position. The most important control, however, isnt on your TV set its self control. Read the directions first. It could save a needless service call. Was Pioneer In Color Telecasts KSL ie.:" , it Problems?
