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.

Installation Preparation  
Please read this user manual carefully before installing your VIZIO HDTV.  
The power consumption of the TV is about 280W, please use the power cord designated for TV. 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 defeated.  
The TV should be installed on a flat surface to avoid tipping. For proper ventilation, you must allow space  
between the back of the TV and the wall. If you would like to mount your TV on the wall, please see  
below ‘Preparing Your LCD HDTV for Wall Mounting’ for additional information. Avoid installing the TV in  
places with high humidity, dust or smoke so as not to shorten the service life of the electronic components.  
Install the TV in landscape orientation; any 90˚ clockwise or counter-clockwise installation may induce  
poor ventilation and excessive component damage.  
VIZIO offers professional installation services. Please contact VIZIO for more information on these  
services at 888-VIZIOCE (888-849-4623) or www.vizio.com.  
Attaching the Safety Strap  
For when the VU42L FHDTV10A is not mounted on the wall with a Wall Mount, a Safety Strap has been  
included 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.  
2.  
Fix one end of the strap to the wall. If you have a drywall  
finish it is preferable to fix 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.  
Fix 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.

Description  
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) - It is  
the first and only industry-supported, uncompressed,  
all-digital audio/video interface. HDMI provides an  
interface between any audio/video source, such as a  
set-top box, DVD player, or A/V receiver and an  
audio and/or video monitor, such as a digital  
television (DTV), over a single cable.

progressive scan DVD players and HDTV formats.

S-Video (AV1) - The video signal is separated into  
two signals, one containing the black-and-white  
information and the other containing the color  
information. Separating the color in this way avoids  
‘cross color’ effects where closely spaced black and  
white lines are erroneously displayed in color. It also  
enables text to be displayed more sharply.

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).  
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 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.  
When watching a standard definition 4:3 aspect ratio (1.33:1  
source) the picture will fill the screen but will be stretched  
horizontally; people will look fatter than they are.  
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.  
Note: Viewing modes are saved based on input. For example, you lasted watched a DVD in widescreen  
mode and then watched TV in standard mode. When you switch back to DVD input, the viewing mode  
will return to widescreen.

4.18.1 Picture-In-Picture (PIP) Mode  
Your TV features PIP mode so you can watch two pictures at the same time. When PIP is turned on, you  
can display two pictures at one time. One picture is displayed as the full screen (main screen) and the  
other picture is displayed in a small window (sub screen). The sub-screen can be set to small or large.  
See below for detailed information regarding the PIP sources.

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.  
Note: Some buttons may not function as expected on your cable or satellite remote. Typically power,  
volume and mute will work.  
Chapter 5 Maintenance and Troubleshooting  
5.1 Maintenance  
Important  
1.  
2.  
Make sure that the power cable is removed from the socket before cleaning the TV.

VIZIO VU42L FHDTV10A User Manual  
6.2 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’s 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.
