Important Safety Instructions
Your HDTV is designed and manufactured to operate within defined design limits, and misuse may result in electric shock or fire. To prevent your HDTV from being damaged, the following rules should be observed for the installation, use, and maintenance of your HDTV. Read the following safety instructions before operating your HDTV. Keep these instructions in a safe place for future reference.
To reduce the risk of electric shock or component damage, switch off the power before connecting other components to your HDTV.
Unplug the power cord before cleaning your HDTV. A damp cloth is sufficient for cleaning your HDTV. Do not use a liquid or a spray cleaner for cleaning your HDTV. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
Always use the accessories recommended by the manufacturer to insure compatibility. When moving your HDTV from an area of low temperature to an area of high temperature,
condensation may form in the housing. Wait before turning on your HDTV to avoid causing fire, electric shock, or component damage.
Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by manufacturer or sold with your HDTV. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/HDTV combination to avoid injury from tip-over. Do not place your HDTV on an unstable cart, stand, or table. If your HDTV falls, it can injure a person and cause serious damage to your HDTV. Use only a cart or stand recommended by the manufacturer or sold with your HDTV.
A distance of at least 3 feet should be maintained between your HDTV and any heat source, such as a radiator, heater, oven, amplifier etc. Do not install your HDTV close to smoke. Operating your HDTV close to smoke or moisture may cause fire or electric shock.
Slots and openings in the back and bottom of the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of your HDTV and to protect it from overheating, be sure these openings are not blocked or covered. Do not place your HDTV in a bookcase or cabinet unless proper ventilation is provided.
Never push any object into the slots and openings on your HDTV cabinet. Do not place any objects on the top of your HDTV. Doing so could short circuit parts causing a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquids on your HDTV.
Your HDTV should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your dealer or local power company.
Do not apply pressure or throw objects at your HDTV. This may compromise the integrity of the display. The manufacturers warranty does not cover user abuse or improper installations.
The power cord must be replaced when using different voltage than the voltage specified. For more information, contact your dealer.
Your HDTV is equipped with a three-pronged grounded plug (a plug with a third grounding pin). This plug will fit only into a grounded power outlet. This is a safety feature. If your outlet does not accommodate the three-pronged, have an electrician install the correct outlet, or use an adapter to ground your HDTV safely. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounded plug.
When connected to a power outlet, power is always flowing into your HDTV. To totally disconnect power, unplug the power cord.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of un-isolated, dangerous voltage within the inside of your HDTV that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

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.
FCC Bulletin for New TV Owners 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: FCC (US Federal Communications Commission) http://www.fcc.gov/ Phone: 1-888-CALL-FCC (1-888-225-5322) TTY: 1-888-TELL-FCC (1-888-835-5322) Fax: 1-866-418-0232 E-mail: fccinfo@fcc.gov NTIA (National Telecommunications and Information Administration) http://www.ntia.doc.gov/ 1-888-DTV-2009 Listings of US Television Stations http://www.high-techproductions.com/usTVstations.htm Note: Your HDTV comes with a built-in tuner capable of processing digital broadcasts. No extra converter box is needed.

Remote Control Range
The effective range of the remote control is approximately 26 feet (8 meters) from the front of the receiver window and 13 feet (4 meters) at 45 to the left and right.
Point the remote control at the remote control sensor on the front of your HDTV to send commands.
Do not place any obstacles between the remote control and the remote control sensor.
VIZIO Remote Control Precautions Keep the remote dry and away from heat sources and humidity. If your HDTV responds erratically to the remote control or does not respond at all, check the
batteries. If the batteries are low or exhausted, replace them with fresh batteries. When not using the remote control for a long period of time, remove the batteries. Do not take the batteries apart, heat them, or throw them into a fire. Do not subject the remote control to undue physical stress, such as striking or dropping it. Do not attempt to clean the remote control with a volatile solvent. Wipe it with a clean, damp
cloth. Do not mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries.
Inserting the remote control batteries 1. Remove the battery cover on the back of the remote control. 2. Insert two AA batteries (included) into the remote control, making sure you match the (+) and (-)
symbols on the batteries with the (+) and (-) symbols inside the battery compartment. 3. Re-attach the battery compartment cover. Precautionary Tips for Inserting the Batteries:
Only use the specified AA batteries. Do not mix new and old batteries. This may result in cracking or leakage that may pose a fire
risk or lead to personal injury. Inserting the batteries incorrectly may also result in cracking or leakage that may pose a fire
risk or lead to personal injury. Dispose of the batteries in accordance with local laws and regulations. Keep the batteries away from children and pets.
Using a Cable or Satellite Remote Your VIZIO remote uses codes 11758 and 10178 to work your LCD HDTV. To use a cable or satellite remote to work the LCD HDTV, refer to your cable or satellite remote user guide for more information on how to program the remote. If your cable or satellite remote uses a 5-digit code (like most Direct TV units), first try 11758 and then, if that does not work, 10178. If your cable or satellite remote uses a 4-digit code, try 1758 and then 0178 as an alternative. If your cable or satellite remote uses a 3-digit code (EchoStar or Dish Network for example), use code 627.
Cleaning the Housing and Remote Control
1. Use a soft cloth for cleaning. 2. If the housing or remote control is seriously contaminated, use a soft cloth moistened with
diluted neutral cleaner to clean the display. Wring water out of the cloth before cleaning to prevent water from penetrating into the housing. Wipe the display with a dry cloth after cleaning.

You can see a picture but you cannot hear sound.
Make sure that the volume is not turned down. Make sure that the sound is not muted. Make sure that your audio input source cables are connected securely and correctly.
The TV has pixels that are always dark or colored.
Your LCD HDTV is manufactured using an extremely high level of precision technology, however, sometimes some pixels of your LCD 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 LCD HDTVs digital capabilities exceed a digital broadcast signal, the signal is up-converted (increased) to match your TVs display capabilities. Up-converting can cause noise or trash.
You switch to a different input and the volume changes.
The TV remembers the volume level from the last time you adjusted it. If the sound level is higher or lower from another source, then the loudness will change.
Tips for High-Definition Users.
The LCD HDTV is an ideal platform for viewing High Definition Content. Best Image Quality will be achieved by the HDMI Input, then YPbPr, then RGB. However, due to variances in broadcast practices, it is possible some image distortions can occur.

Glossary Standard Definitions
Analog TV: Todays TV system using radio frequency waves to transmit and display pictures and sound. Aspect Ratio (4x3): Traditional TV aspect ratio, that is, the screen width as compared to its height. For example, a 32 inch TV screen would be 25 inches wide and 19 inches tall. Aspect Ratio (16x9): Wide screen TV aspect ratio which is more like a movie screen than a traditional TV. For example, a 32 inch TV screen would be 28 inches wide and 16 inches tall. Digital TV (DTV): Television delivered and displayed using radio frequency waves that contain information that is digitally encoded for improved quality and efficiency. Enhanced Definition TV (EDTV): A better digital television transmission than SDTV with at least 480P, in a 16x9 or 4x3 display and Dolby digital surround sound. 480P is the quality used by most DVD players. EDTV provides 300-400,000 pixels. HDTV Monitor (sometimes called HDTV Ready): A set that can display HDTV programming if you have a separate HDTV tuner, HD Cable Set-Top Box or HD Satellite Set-Top-Box Receiver. HDTV Tuner (also decoder, receiver, set-top box): A device capable of receiving and outputting HDTV signals for display. It may be stand-alone or integrated in the set. High-Definition Television (HDTV): The best quality picture, wide screen (16x9) display with at least 720 progressively scanned lines (720P) or 1080 interlaced lines (1080i) and Dolby digital surround sound. HDTV provides 900,000-2.1 million pixels. Integrated HDTV: An HDTV that has the digital tuner built into the set. It does not need a separate set- top box to receive over-the-air DTV signals. Interlace Scan: A way to scan vertical lines onto a TV picture by scanning all the odd lines first, then filling the in the even lines (this happens instantaneously). Plug-and-Play or Digital Cable Ready: A DTV or other device for digital cable consumers that plugs directly into the cable jack and does not require a separate set-top box. Plug-and-Play TV owners must obtain a CableCARD from their cable company in order to view scrambled programming services. Progressive Scan: A way to scan vertical lines onto a TV picture by scanning all the lines consecutively (progressively). Standard Definition TV (SDTV): Basic digital television transmission that may be displayed with fewer than 480 progressively scanned lines (480P) in 16 x 9 or 4 x 3 format. 480 interlaced (480i) is the quality of todays analog TV system. Source: Buying a Digital Television, CEA, HDTV Guide, 2005 Note: The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) and the Consumer Electronics Retailers Coalition (CERC) have made a new tip sheet available for digital television (DTV) retailers to reproduce and distribute to consumers on the sales floor. The file may be downloaded online at www.dtv.gov. While youre there, check out the other useful information in the FCC is making available to consumers interested in learning more about the analog to digital transition.
