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.

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

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:

Setting Up Your HDTV  
Note: We strongly recommend that two people perform the setup and assembly due to the weight and  
size of the TV.  
Read this user manual carefully before installing your HDTV.  
The power consumption of your HDTV is about 144W (AVG) for the SV421XVT and 204W (AVG)  
for the SV471XVT. Use the included power cord. When an extension cord is required, use one  
with the correct power rating. The cord must be grounded and the grounding feature must not be  
compromised.  
Your HDTV should be installed on a flat surface to avoid tipping.  
For proper ventilation, you must allow space between the back of your HDTV and the wall.  
If you want to mount your HDTV on the wall, see below for additional information.  
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.  
VIZIO offers professional installation services. Contact VIZIO for more information on these services at  
888-VIZIOCE (888-849-4623) or www.VIZIO.com.

Attaching the safety strap  
When your HDTV is not mounted on the wall, use the included safety strap to attach the HDTV to the wall  
to reduce the chance of the HDTV being pulled over. The Safety Strap should be used with common  
sense practice such as ensuring that children (or adults) do not climb up, grabbing the top of the HDTV  
and pulling it onto themselves.  
1.  
Attach one end of the strap to the wall:  
If you have a drywall finish attach it to a stud, using a  
washer underneath the screw head.  
If you have a solid wall you should use a lag bolt, again  
using a washer under the nut.  
2.  
Attach the other end of the Safety Strap to  
one of the upper wall mounting holes on  
the back of the HDTV, using a washer  
under the screw head.

channels. If the service being used is the one which setup includes a box with two outputs for two  
different (distant) rooms, then scanning channels will help you to find the signal. The channel to be  
selected varies from provider to provider. You may have to call your provider to get the specific channel

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.  
Sharpness  
The Sharpness adjustment adjusts 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.

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.

VIZIO SV421XVT & SV471XVT User Manual  
Chapter 7 Programming the VIZIO Universal  
Remote Control  
Using a Cable or Satellite Box Remote  
Your VIZIO remote uses codes 000, 047, 050, 067, 329, 331 and 339 to work your HDTV. To use a cable  
or satellite remote to work the 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.  
Note: Some buttons may not function as expected on your cable or satellite remote. Typically power,  
volume and mute will work.  
Programming other devices  
Your remote control is programmable and supports up to three different devices. Listed below are the  
steps for programming your DVD player, Home Theater System, and a Cable or Satellite box. Once you  
find your codes, write them in the table provided.  
Programming your DVD Player  
1. Turn on the DVD player.  
2. Press and release the DVD button on the remote control.  
3. Press and hold the SET button until the LED flashes twice.  
4. Find the programming code for your DVD player in the code list below and enter it using the  
number buttons. If the code is accepted, the LED flashes twice after the last digit is entered. If  
the LED does not flash twice, repeat Steps 2 through 4 with the next code listed.  
5. Point the remote control at the DVD player and press the POWER button. The DVD player will  
turn off. If the DVD player does not turn off, repeat Steps 2 through 4 with the next code listed for  
the component and manufacturer.  
Notes:  
If the codes do not work or your brand is not listed, see “Searching for Component Codes.”  
Sometimes a code listed will only include limited functions. Try other codes that may include  
more functionality.  
Programming your Home Theater System  
1. Turn on the home theater system.  
2. Press and release the AUDIO button on the remote control.  
3. Press and hold the SET button until the LED flashes twice.  
4. Find the programming code for your home theater system in the code list below and enter it using  
the number buttons. If the code is accepted, the LED flashes twice after the last digit is entered.  
If the LED does not flash twice, repeat Steps 2 through 4 with the next code listed.  
5. Point the remote control at the Home Theater System and press the POWER button. The Home  
Theater System will turn off. If the Home Theater System does not turn off, repeat Steps 2  
through 4 with the next code listed for the component and manufacturer.  
Notes:  
If the codes do not work or your brand is not listed, see “Searching for Component Codes.”  
Sometimes a code listed will only include limited functions. Try other codes that may include  
more functionality.

Important  
1.  
2.  
Make sure that the power cable is removed from the socket before cleaning the TV.  
Do not use volatile solvent (such as toluene, rosin and alcohol) to clean the TV. Such  
chemicals may damage the housing, screen and remote control, and cause paint to peel.  
Cleaning the Housing and Remote Control  
1.  
2.  
Use a soft cloth for cleaning.  
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.  
Cleaning the Screen

2.  
Use a soft cloth to gently clean the screen.  
The screen is very fragile. Do not scrape it with any sharp object. Do not press or tap the  
screen to avoid cracking. When the screen 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.

Solution  
the room or close to a window.  
For best image quality, view HD wide-screen programs where possible.  
If HD content is not available view “Standard Definition” from a digital source.  
Standard, analog TV will always be noticeably inferior to HD because your digital  
flat panel TV has video that is many times better than old TV so you will see  
interference and deficiencies you did not know you had.  
You cannot see a picture.  
Make sure the power button is ON (VIZIO logo glows white).  
Make sure AC power cord is securely connected to the AC socket.  
Press the INPUT button on the remote control to select a different input source.  
Press the TV button on the top of the remote to return to the TV mode.  
Check the connections of external devices that may be connected to the HDTV.  
If your HDTV is connected to a computer, press any button on your keyboard to  
“wake” your computer.  
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 see a distorted picture or  
hear unusual sound.  
You may be getting interference from electrical appliances, cars, motorcycles, or  
fluorescent lights. If you have not mounted it on the wall, try moving your HDTV to  
another location to see if this is the cause of the problem.  
The picture has abnormal  
patterns.  
Check the connections of external devices that may be connected to the HDTV.  
Make sure the specifications of external devices meet the specifications of your  
HDTV (i.e. resolution).  
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.  
The display image does not  
cover the entire screen.  
If you are in RGB mode (Computer), make sure that H-Size and V-Position in the  
On Screen Display (OSD) are set correctly.  
If you are using TV, AV1, AV2 or Component with 480i input, press WIDE button  
on the remote control to scroll through various screen modes.  
You can see a picture but you  
cannot hear sound.  
Press Volume + (Up) on the remote control.  
Press MUTE on the remote control to make sure that MUTE is not ON.  
Check your audio settings. The audio may be set to SAP, or the speakers are set  
to off.  
Check the audio connections of external devices that may be connected to the  
HDTV.  
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  
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 volume will change.

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.

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,

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.

VIZIO SV421XVT & SV471XVT User Manual  
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.  
PLEASE DO NOT RETURN YOUR UNIT TO VIZIO WITHOUT PRIOR  
AUTHORIZATION.
