Television Antenna Connection Protection  
External Television Antenna Grounding  
If an outside antenna/satellite dish or cable system is to be connected to the TV, make sure that the  
antenna or cable system is electrically grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and  
static charges.  
Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPSA 70, provides information with regard to proper  
grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge  
unit, size of the grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding  
electrodes, and requirements of the grounding electrode.  
Lightning Protection  
For added protection of the TV during  
a lightning storm or when it is left  
unattended or unused for long periods  
of time, unplug the TV from the wall  
outlet and disconnect the antenna or  
cable system.  
Power Lines  
Do not locate the antenna near  
overhead light or power circuits, or  
where it could fall into such power lines or circuits.  
Remember, the screen of the coaxial cable is intended to be connected to earth in the building  
installation.

Advisory of the DTV Transition  
The nationwide switch to digital television broadcasting will be complete on June 12, 2009, but your local  
television stations may switch sooner. After the switch, analog-only television sets that receive TV  
programming through an antenna will need a converter box to continue to receive over-the-air TV. Watch  
your local stations to find out when they will turn off their analog signal and switch to digital-only  
broadcasting. Analog-only TVs should continue to work as before to receive low power, Class A or  
translator television stations and with cable and satellite TV services, gaming consoles, VCRs, DVD  
players, and similar products.  
For additional information, please contact the parties listed below, as appropriate:

Understanding Viewing Features  
Your HDTV features the following viewing modes. You can switch viewing modes using the remote  
control, please follow the instructions in page 31.  
Viewing Modes  
Normal Mode  
The original 4:3 aspect ratio (1.33:1 source) is preserved, so black bars are  
added to the left and right of the display image. Standard TV broadcasts are  
displayed with a 4:3 Aspect Ratio. Movies in 4:3 Aspect Ratio may be referred  
to as pan-and-scan or full frame. These movies were originally filmed in 16:9  
(widescreen), and then modified to fit a traditional TV screen (4:3).  
Full  
Full mode allows you to view the entire picture. Recommended for HDMI and RGB / Computer viewing so  
you can see the complete picture without the image overstretching beyond the viewing area. If you  
experience “noise” along the border switch to Zoom 1. For 720p, 1080i, 1080p only.  
Zoom 1  
When watching a standard broadcast or full-frame movie in this mode,  
the display image is stretched proportionately to fill the TV screen.  
When watching a widescreen (1.78:1 source) program or movie, the  
display image fills the TV screen. If you are watching a widescreen  
(1.85:1 or 2.35:1 source) program or movie, there will still be black  
bars at the top and bottom.  
Zoom 2  
Zooms in by 14% to crop the top and bottom bars for 2.35:1 film resolutions. For 480i/p, 4:3 only.  
Stretch Mode  
When watching a widescreen program (1.78:1 source) with black bars on  
the sides, the display image will stretch to fill the TV screen. People will  
appear wider than they really are. If you are watching a widescreen  
(1.85:1 or 2.35:1 source) program or movie, there will still be black bars  
at the top and bottom. This mode is available only when watching a  
widescreen program.  
Panoramic Mode  
When watching a standard broadcast or full frame movie in this mode,  
the 4:3 Aspect Ratio (1.33:1 source) display image is stretched  
horizontally on the left and right sides to fill the TV screen. The center  
of the image is not stretched.

can occur.  
Tips for Letterbox Content  
Users.

Limited Product Warranty  
VIZIO provides a “ONE-YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY” against manufacturing defects in materials and  
workmanship to the original purchaser of a new VIZIO display purchased from an authorized VIZIO U.S.  
reseller and used in the fifty (50) United States or Puerto Rico.  
VIZIO's Responsibility  
VIZIO displays purchased new from an authorized VIZIO U.S. reseller and that are used in the fifty (50)  
United States or Puerto Rico are warranted to be free from manufacturing defects in materials and  
workmanship for one (1) year from the date of the original retail purchase. If the display fails to conform to  
this limited warranty, VIZIO will, at its option and sole discretion, repair or replace the display.  
Labor  
During the one-year limited warranty period, VIZIO will provide, when needed, service labor to repair a  
manufacturing defect. Repairs required on displays which are thirty (30) inches and larger generally will  
be made “on-site” where the display is installed. The determination for performing the on-site repair is  
dependent upon the manufacturing defect and is at VIZIO's option and sole discretion. Repairs required  
on displays which are less than thirty (30) inches generally will be performed at a VIZIO service center.  
Parts  
Repairs may be made with new or recertified parts, or the entire unit may be replaced with a new or  
recertified unit, at VIZIO's option and sole discretion. Replacement parts or replacement units provided  
under this limited warranty are warranted for the remaining portion of the original warranty period, or for  
ninety (90) days from warranty service or replacement, whichever is later.  
How to Obtain Warranty Service  
To obtain warranty service, contact VIZIO Technical Support via email at [email protected], via  
phone at 877-MYVIZIO (877-698-4946), or via postal mail at VIZIO Technical Support, 39 Tesla, Irvine,  
CA 92618. You must provide the model, serial number, and date of purchase. VIZIO Technical Support is  
available from 6:00AM to 9:00PM Pacific Time, Monday through Friday, and 10:00AM to 2:00PM Pacific  
Time, Saturday and Sunday. Please note that holiday hours may vary. For up to date information, please  
VIZIO reserves the right to assess all warranty claims and to determine if defects or damages are covered  
by this limited warranty. In case of a claim that is not covered by this warranty, you will be contacted to  
determine whether VIZIO should repair the damage for a fee or whether the product should be returned to  
you as received by the service technician or service center.  
Parts and service labor that are VIZIO's responsibility under this limited warranty will be provided without  
charge. All other service is at the customer's expense. VIZIO reserves the right to charge the customer for  
any service call for anything not covered by this limited warranty. Before you ask for warranty service,  
please review your User Manual. You may avoid a service call and a service charge.  
Please refer to the reverse side of this page for additional information regarding how to obtain warranty  
service.  
PLEASE DO NOT RETURN YOUR UNIT TO VIZIO WITHOUT PRIOR  
AUTHORIZATION.

environmental conditions or other acts of nature; normal wear and tear; unsatisfactory visual or audio  
performance not caused by a manufacturing defect; or displays with a missing or unreadable serial

THERE ARE NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES OTHER THAN THOSE LISTED OR DESCRIBED ABOVE.  
ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY AND

RESULTING FROM ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING VIZIO'S NEGLIGENCE, ALLEGED  
DAMAGE, OR DEFECTIVE GOODS, WHETHER SUCH DEFECTS ARE DISCOVERABLE OR LATENT,  
SHALL IN NO EVENT EXCEED THE PURCHASE PRICE OF THE DISPLAY. VIZIO SHALL NOT BE  
RESPONSIBLE FOR LOSS OF USE, COMMERCIAL LOSS, LOST REVENUE OR LOST PROFITS, OR  
OTHER INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW  
LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS OR THE EXCLUSION OR

VIZIO Return Policy  
VIZIO's return policy allows for products purchased directly from VIZIO to be returned by the original  
purchaser during the initial thirty (30) day period following the date of purchase. A VIZIO return  
authorization number must first be obtained as provided below. The refund will be the purchase price  
actually paid by the purchaser less a ten percent (10%) restocking fee per each item returned. Shipping  
and handling are not refundable.  
The return authorization number must first be obtained from VIZIO's Customer Service by emailing  
[email protected] or by calling 949-428-2525, 6:00AM to 9:00PM Pacific Time, Monday  
through Friday, and 10:00AM to 2:00PM Pacific Time, Saturday and Sunday. Please note that holiday  
Products must be returned to the address specified by VIZIO Customer Service and must be shipped in  
the original packaging, with freight prepaid to VIZIO, and must be received in new and unused condition.  
The return authorization number must be included in the packaging. VIZIO reserves the right to assess  
fees for any damaged or missing parts in addition to the ten percent (10%) restocking fee.  
Return authorization numbers are valid for only fifteen (15) days from issuance. The customer is  
responsible for and must prepay all shipping charges and shall assume all risk of loss or damage to the  
product while in transit to VIZIO. If the product is returned to VIZIO (i) without a VIZIO return authorization  
number, and/or (ii) beyond the fifteen (15) day period, and/or (iii) without proper packaging, VIZIO retains  
the right to refuse delivery of such return or may return the unit to the customer at the customer's expense  
and with no refund issued. This return policy does not apply to defective products. Please read VIZIO's  
Limited Product Warranty for warranty terms and conditions.  
On-Site Warranty Repair Procedure  
On-Site Warranty Repair generally is performed on repairable displays which are 30 inches and  
larger.  
If VIZIO Technical Support determines that a problem with a display unit may be within the terms and  
conditions of the VIZIO Limited Product Warranty and that an on-site repair may be performed, the  
customer will be provided with an on-site repair authorization number and on-site repair instructions. The

determination for performing the on-site repair may be dependent upon the manufacturing defect and is at  
VIZIO's option and sole discretion. Proof of purchase is required to confirm the product is within the one-  
year limited warranty period and meets the terms and conditions of the VIZIO Limited Product Warranty.  
On-site repair service is requested through VIZIO's third-party service provider. After VIZIO provides the  
customer with the on-site repair (OSR) authorization number, the third-party service provider will contact  
the customer and will schedule the repair at the customer's location. The total approximate time for the  
repair process, which includes the repair diagnosis, dispatching the technician, shipping the replacement  
part(s), and arranging the appointment with the customer, is completed within approximately 3 to 5  
business days, pending availability of these factors.  
If it is determined the product can not be repaired on-site, the customer will be required to ship the unit to  
VIZIO's service center, per the below warranty replacement procedure.  
VIZIO is not responsible for the de-installation or re-installation of the product. However, some standard  
installation may be performed during the on-site repair, at VIZIO's option and sole discretion. Please read  
VIZIO's Limited Product Warranty for warranty terms and conditions.  
Warranty Replacement Procedure  
Warranty Replacement generally is performed on displays which are determined to be  
economically unrepairable.  
If VIZIO Technical Support determines that a problem with a display unit may be within the terms and  
conditions of the VIZIO Limited Product Warranty and that a repair is not economically possible, based on  
certain manufacturing defects in materials and/or workmanship, and/or at VIZIO's option and sole  
discretion, the customer will be provided with a return authorization number and replacement instructions.  
Proof of purchase is required to confirm the product is within the one-year limited warranty period and  
meets the terms and conditions of the VIZIO Limited Product Warranty.  
For displays forty-two inches (42") and larger, VIZIO will generally cover the transportation charges to  
perform an on-site swap of the original unit with the replacement unit. For displays under forty-two inches  
(42"), the customer is responsible for the transportation charges to VIZIO's service center. VIZIO will be  
responsible for the return transportation charges from the service center to the customer. Please read  
VIZIO's Limited Product Warranty for warranty terms and conditions.  
Mail-In Warranty Repair Procedure  
Mail-In Warranty Repair generally is performed on displays which are smaller than 30 inches.  
If VIZIO Technical Support determines that a problem with a display unit may be within the terms and  
conditions of the VIZIO Limited Product Warranty and that a mail-in repair may be performed, the  
customer will be provided with a return authorization number and mail-in repair instructions. Proof of  
purchase is required to confirm the product is within the one-year limited warranty period and meets the  
terms and conditions of the VIZIO Limited Product Warranty.  
The customer will be provided with instructions for packing and shipping the unit to the VIZIO service  
center. The original carton box and packing material, or an equivalent as designated by VIZIO, must be  
utilized. The cost of shipping to VIZIO's service center is at the customer's expense. After the product is  
repaired and tested, the VIZIO service center will ship the unit back to the customer at VIZIO's expense.  
VIZIO is not responsible for the de-installation or re-installation of the product. Please read VIZIO's  
Limited Product Warranty for warranty terms and conditions.
