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, contact the parties listed below, as appropriate:  
FCC (US Federal Communications Commission)  
Phone: 1-888-CALL-FCC (1-888-225-5322)

Chapter 1 Setting Up Your HDTV  
Finding a Location for Your HDTV  
Here are some things you should consider when deciding on a proper location for your HDTV:  
The power consumption of your HDTV is about 31.3W (AVG)  
o
o
Use the included power cord.  
When an extension cord is required, use one with the correct power rating. The 3-  
pronged cord must be grounded and the grounding feature (3rd prong) must not be  
compromised.  
Install your HDTV on a flat surface to avoid tipping.  
For proper ventilation, you must allow space between the back of your HDTV and the wall.  
Avoid installing your HDTV in places with high humidity, dust, or smoke so you do not shorten the  
service life of the electronic components.  
Install your HDTV in a level, landscape orientation, with the VIZIO logo at the bottom to prevent  
poor ventilation and excessive component damage.  
If you want to mount your HDTV on the wall, see below for additional information.  
Read this user manual carefully before installing your HDTV.  
VIZIO offers professional installation services including home networking. Contact VIZIO for more  
information on these services at 877-MYVIZIO (877-698-4946) or www.VIZIO.com.

Composite consists of one yellow cable for transmitting video and two  
cables for transmitting audio: one red and one white. It is capable of  
transmitting stereo sound and standard definition video (480i). While it  
provides a good image, it has lower image quality than HDMI or  
Composite. So try to use one of those connections first.

Wide Menu  
Select how the picture displays on the screen. As you select an option, you will see the screen adjusting  
to the different sizes. The options vary depending on the selected input and the TV program:  
Normal  
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).  
Wide  
Wide 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.  
Panoramic  
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.  
Stretch  
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.

Chapter 9 Maintenance and Troubleshooting  
Cleaning the TV and Remote Control  
1. Remove the power adapter cable from the TV.  
2. Use a soft cloth moistened with diluted neutral cleaner to clean the TV and remote control. VIZIO  
recommends using an HDTV cleaning solution which can be purchased at any major retailer.  
3. Wring liquid out of the cloth before cleaning to prevent water from penetrating into the housing.  
4. Wipe the TV and remote control with a dry cloth after cleaning.  
Important:  
Do not use volatile solvent (such as toluene, rosin and alcohol). Such chemicals may damage the  
housing, screen glass, and remote control, and cause labeling to peel.  
The screen glass is very fragile. Do not scrape it with any sharp object.  
Do not press or tap the screen to avoid cracking.  
Troubleshooting Guide  
If the TV fails or the performance changes dramatically, check the following troubleshooting guide for  
possible solutions. Remember to check the peripherals to pinpoint the source of the failure. If the display  
still fails to perform as expected, contact the VIZIO for assistance by calling 1-877-MYVIZIO (698-4946)  
or e-mail us at [email protected].

The TV has pixels (dots) that  
are always dark or colored.  
Your HDTV is manufactured using an extremely high level of precision technology,  
however, sometimes some pixels of your HDTV may not display. Pixel defects  
within industry specifications are inherent to this type of product and do not  
constitute a defective product.  
You see “noise” or “trash” on  
the screen.  
When your HDTV’s digital capabilities exceed a digital broadcast signal, the signal  
is up-converted (increased) to match your TV’s display capabilities. Up-converting  
can cause noise or trash.  
If you are using an antenna, the signal strength of the channel may be low. Make  
sure your antenna is connected securely to the TV and move the antenna around  
the room or close to a window.  
You switch to a different input

You switch to a different input  
and the screen size changes.  
The TV remembers the viewing mode from the last time you used a particular input  
(AV, HDMI and TV).  
Tips for High-Definition Users.  
Your HDTV is an ideal platform for viewing High Definition Content.  
Best image quality will be achieved by HDMI.  
Due to variances in broadcast practices, it is possible some image distortions can  
occur.  
Tips for Letterbox Content

Some Letterboxed (or “Widescreen”) versions of DVD movies are formatted for  
standard 4:3 Televisions. Your HDTV has the ability to expand this content so the  
entire screen is filled at the expense of image accuracy. To use this function, press  
ZOOM on the remote control to cycle among the options.

877 MY VIZIO (877.698.4946) from 6:00AM to 9:00PM Monday through Friday and 8:00AM to 4:00PM Saturday  
and Sunday, Pacific Time, or visit www.VIZIO.com. Proof of purchase in the form of a purchase receipt or copy  
thereof is required.  
Parts and Labor  
There will be no charge for parts or labor during the warranty period. Replacement parts and units may be new or  
recertified at VIZIO’s option and sole discretion. Replacement parts and units are warranted for the remaining  
portion of the original warranty or for ninety (90) days from warranty service or replacement, whichever is later.  
Types of Service  
Units 30” or larger will usually be serviced in-home. In-home service requires complete and easy access to the unit  
and does not include de-installation or re-installation of the product. However, in some cases, it may be necessary  
to send the unit to a VIZIO service center. VIZIO will cover the transportation charges to and from the same  
customer location.  
Units less than 30” must be sent to a VIZIO service center. VIZIO is not responsible for transportation costs to the  
service center, but VIZIO will cover return shipping to the customer. PRE-AUTHORIZATION IS REQUIRED  
BEFORE SENDING ANY UNIT IN FOR SERVICE.  
Any returns to VIZIO’s service centers must utilize either the original carton box and shipping material or a  
replacement box and material provided by VIZIO. VIZIO technical support will provide instructions for packing and  
shipping the unit to the VIZIO service center.

VIZIO’s one-year limited warranty only covers defects in materials and workmanship. Items not covered include but  
are not limited to cosmetic damage, normal wear and tear, misuse, signal issues, power surges, and damages  
from shipping, acts of God, any sort of customer misuse, installation, customer modifications, adjustments, and  
set-up issues. Units with unreadable or removed serial numbers, “image burn-in”, and routine maintenance are not  
covered. This warranty does not cover products sold “AS IS”, “FACTORY RECERTIFIED”, or by a non-authorized  
reseller.  
THERE ARE NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES OTHER THAN THOSE LISTED OR DESCRIBED ABOVE. ANY  
IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR  
A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, SHALL BE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE PERIOD OF TIME SET FORTH  
ABOVE. VIZIO'S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY AND ALL LOSSES AND DAMAGES RESULTING FROM ANY  
CAUSE WHATSOEVER 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 OF INCIDENTAL OR  
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

WHICH VARY FROM STATE TO STATE. THIS WARRANTY IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE.
