Lightning Protection  
TELEVISION ANTENNA CONNECTION  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.

Panoramic stretches a 4:3 aspect ratio picture to the left  
and right edges of the screen. The center of the image is  
not stretched, but the sides of the image are extremely  
stretched. If you are watching widescreen (1.85:1 or 2.35:1)  
content with black bars on the top and bottom, the black  
bars will still appear on the top and bottom of the display  
image.  
CHANGING THE SCREEN ASPECT RATIO  
The TV can display images in five different modes: Normal, Stretch,  
Panoramic, Wide, and Zoom. Each mode displays the picture  
differently.  
Some programs have black bars on the top or sides of the picture  
so that the picture keeps its original shape. Examples include  
wide-screen movies and older television programs.  
Standard Definition (480i and 480p) - Fills the screen  
from the left to right edges.  
To change the screen aspect ratio:  
720p and 720i - Not available.  
1080p and 1080i - Not available.  
1. Press the WIDE button on the  
remote.  
Wide stretches a 4:3 aspect ratio picture to the edges of  
the screen. Since the picture is being stretched, the display  
image may appear distorted—figures appear short and fat.  
If the program is already formatted for widescreen viewing  
(1.85:1 or 2.35:1), then black bars will appear on the top  
and bottom of the display image.  
Zoom expands images evenly in all directions (33% taller  
and 33% wider) with black bars to fit the screen. A 720p  
image will fill a 1080p screen.  
2. Use the Arrow buttons to

top to bottom and stretches it half as much from right to  
left. Figures appear tall and thin.  
Standard Definition - Not available.  
720p and 720i HD - If you are watching widescreen  
1.85:1 content, the image will fill the screen. With 2.35:1

Adjusting the Color Calibration Settings  
Reset Color Tuner - Resets the color tuner settings for the  
current color temperature mode.  
Color Calibration Settings allow you to make precise adjustments to  
the picture and to create picture modes to save groups of picture  
settings.  
If the current picture mode is a pre-set, the color  
temperature is reset for all pre-set picture modes using  
the current color temperature mode. It does not affect  
saved custom picture modes.  
If the current picture mode is a saved custom picture  
mode, the color temperature only reset for that custom  
picture modes. It does not affect pre-set picture modes  
or other custom picture modes.  
The Color Tuner, 11 Point White Balance, and test  
patterns allow technicians to manually calibrate the TV.  
Calibration requires specialized training, an input with  
precisely set colors, and a specialized light meter.  
To adjust the color calibration picture settings:  
For example, suppose that:  
You have created two custom picture modes: “My Picture  
Settings” and “Oliver.” They both use the Normal color  
temperature, but you have adjusted it for each of the  
modes.  
1. From the PICTURE menu, use  
VIZIO  
the Arrow buttons to highlight  
COLOR CALIBRATION  
Color Calibration and press  
Picture Mode  
Calibrated  
Normal  
the OK button. The COLOR  
CALIBRATION menu is displayed.  
Color Temperature  
Color Tuner  
—and—  
You have changed the Color Tuner settings for the  
Normal color temperature while in the Calibrated picture  
mode.  
2. Use the Arrow buttons to  
highlight the setting you wish to  
adjust, then press the OK button  
to change the setting:  
Reset Color Tuner  
So, you have “My Picture Settings” with a modified Normal  
color temperature, “Oliver” with different changes to the  
Normal color temperature, and a third set of changes to the  
Normal color temperature that applies to all of the pre-set  
picture modes.  
The Calibrated and Calibrated Dark picture modes both use  
the Normal color temperature. If Calibrated is the current  
picture mode when the Normal color temperature is reset,  
the change affects both of these picture modes, but does  
not undo the changes to the color temperature for the “My  
Picture Settings” or “Oliver” custom picture modes.  
If “My Picture Settings" is the current picture mode when  
the Normal color temperature is reset, the change only  
affects the “My Picture Settings” picture mode. The color  
temperature changes to the “Oliver,” Calibrated, and  
Calibrated Dark picture modes stay as they are.

There is no power.  
Check the audio connections of external devices (Blu-ray  
player, game console, cable/satellite box) that are

If you are using an antenna, the signal strength of the  
channel may be low. Ensure your antenna is connected  
securely to the TV and move the antenna around the  
room or close to a window for the best signal.  
Ensure the TV is plugged into a working electrical outlet.  
Ensure the power cable is securely attached to the TV.

The image quality is not good.  
I see “noise” or static on the screen.  
For the best image quality, view high-definition programs  
using digital sources. Connect your devices with HDMI  
cables.  
If you are using an antenna, the signal strength of the  
channel may be low. Ensure your antenna is connected  
securely to the TV and move the antenna around the  
room or close to a window for the best signal.  
When your TV’s digital capabilities exceed a digital  
broadcast signal, the signal is up-converted (improved) to  
match your TV’s display capabilities. This up-converting  
can sometimes cause irregularities in the image.  
If you are using an antenna, the signal strength of the  
channel may be low. Ensure your antenna is connected  
securely to the TV and move the antenna around the  
room or close to a window for the best signal.  
The picture is distorted.  
When I change input source, the volume changes.  
Nearby electrical devices may be interfering with the  
TV. Separate the TV from electrical appliances, cars, or  
fluorescent lights.  
The TV remembers the volume level on each input source.  
If the volume level on the new input source is higher or  
lower than the level on the source you switch from, the  
difference may be noticeable.  
Ensure all cables are securely attached.  
Use the Volume Up/Down buttons on the remote to

adjust the volume.  
If you are using TV, AV, or Component with 480i input,  
press the WIDE button on the remote to change the  
screen mode.  
When I change input source, the display image changes size.  
The TV remembers the viewing mode on each input  
source. If the viewing mode on the new input source  
differs from the one on the input source you switch from,  
the difference may be noticeable.  
The TV has pixels (dots) that are always dark.  
Your HDTV is precision-manufactured using an extremely  
high level of technology. However, sometimes pixels may  
not display correctly. These types of occurrences are  
inherent to this type of product and do not constitute a  
defective product.
