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)  
TTY: 1-888-TELL-FCC (1-888-835-5322)  
Fax: 1-866-418-0232  
NTIA (National Telecommunications and Information Administration)  
http://www.ntia.doc.gov/ 1-888-DTV-2009  
Note: Your HDTV comes with a built-in tuner capable of processing digital broadcasts. No extra  
converter box is needed.

Chapter 1 Setting Up Your HDTV  
Read this user manual carefully before installing your HDTV.  
The power consumption of your HDTV is about 55W average. Use the included power  
cord. When an extension cord is required, use one with the correct power rating. The AC

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.

available and it’s all done over one cable. You get a great picture  
and cut down on your cable clutter. HDMI provides digital quality  
and amazing sound so if your TV has HDMI, this is the connection  
type you should be using.

The RGB (VGA) port allows you to connect your computer so you  
can use the TV as your monitor.

Component consists of three cables for transmitting video and  
two cables for transmitting audio: one red and one white.  
Component video provides a sharper image than Composite  
video and should be used instead of composite when possible.  
However, because it is still an analog connection, it won’t provide  
the high-quality video and audio that HDMI can produce.

Using a unique connector, S-Video provides a sharper image  
than Composite video. However, S-Video is generally not ideal for  
high-definition video signals. Use HDMI or Component for high-  
definition signals.  
Compatible  
(analog)  
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 Component. So try to use one of those connections  
first.  
Note: To maintain the display quality, use a VIZIO certified HDMI cable. This cable is available in  
details.

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 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.  
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.

Picture Settings Menu  
Picture Mode  
Choose from Standard, Movie, Game, Vivid, or Custom. Each input (i.e.  
HDMI, COMP, etc) remembers the custom setting you created. Select  
Custom to manually adjust Backlight, Brightness, Contrast, Color, Tint,  
Sharpness, and to access the More menu where further adjustments can  
be made.  
Backlight  
Adjust the LED brightness to affect the overall brilliance of the picture not  
the Brightness (black level) or Contrast (white level) of the picture.  
Note: Backlight is only available when Picture Mode is set to Custom.  
Brightness  
Adjust black levels in the picture. If the brightness is too low you will not be  
able to see the detail in darker parts of the picture and if the brightness is  
too high the picture will look washed out.  
Note: Brightness is only available when Picture Mode is set to Custom.  
Contrast  
Adjust the white levels in the picture. If the contrast is too low the picture will look washed out and  
if the contrast is too high you will not be able to see any detail in the bright parts of a picture.  
Note: Contrast is only available when Picture Mode is set to Custom.  
Color  
Adjust the amount of color in the picture.  
Note: Color is only available when Picture Mode is set to Custom.  
Tint  
Adjust the hue of the picture. The easiest way to set tint is to look at flesh tones and adjust for a  
realistic appearance. In most cases, the default middle position is correct. If people’s faces look  
too orange try reducing the level of color first.  
Note: Tint is only available when Picture Mode is set to Custom.  
Sharpness  
Adjust the sharpness of the edges of elements in the picture. It does not produce detail that  
otherwise does not exist. This adjustment is helpful when viewing Standard Definition sources.  
Note: Sharpness is only available when Picture Mode is set to Custom.  
Noise Reduction  
This feature diminishes picture artifacts caused by the digitizing of image motion content that may  
be present in the picture. Choose from Off, Low, Medium, or High.

More  
Select More to adjust advanced options for fine tuning the picture.  
Note: The More menu is only available when Picture Mode is set to Custom.  
Color Temperature  
Color Temperature is the “warmness” or “coolness” of the white  
areas of the picture. Choose from Custom, Cool, Normal, or PC.  
Normal is the setting for television broadcasting. Custom allows  
you to set a preset calibrated for a white point to suit individual  
preferences. Cool produces a blue-hued image. PC sets the white  
point at the established setting for a computer display (9300K).  
Each preset may also be adjusted for a customized setting.  
Color Enhancement  
This feature increases the picture reproduction performance of the  
picture by reducing oversaturation of certain colors and improving  
flesh tones. Choose from Off or On.  
Adaptive Luma  
Large areas of brightness in the picture will result in a higher  
Average Picture Level (APL) and the overall picture will look too  
light. This feature will lower the APL to counteract this effect.  
Choose from Off or On.  
DCR  
Set this feature for Dynamic Contrast Ratio to improve the black level performance and  
increase contrast ratio. Choose from Off or On.  
Reset Picture Mode

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.

Tips for High-Definition  
Users.  
Your HDTV is an ideal platform for viewing High Definition Content.  
Best image quality will be achieved by HDMI. The next best is  
Component, followed by Composite.  
Due to variances in broadcast practices, it is possible some image  
distortions can occur.  
Tips for Letterbox Content  
Users.  
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.
