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)
Phone: 1-888-CALL-FCC (1-888-225-5322)
TTY: 1-888-TELL-FCC (1-888-835-5322)

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.
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.

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.
Wide Mode
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

top and bottom of the screen.
Zoom Mode
When watching a widescreen (1.78:1, 1.85:1, or 2.35:1
source) program or movie, the display image is zoomed
proportionally to fill the width of the screen. The top and
bottom are cut off to remove most of the source material’s
black bars. This mode is good for programs or movies with
sub-titles.
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.
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.

VIZIO 60HZ E SERIES User Manual
Glossary – Standard Definitions
Analog TV: Today’s 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 today’s 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 you’re 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.
