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

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.

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.  
Remote Control Range  
Point the remote control at the remote control sensor to transmit the commands.  
Do not place any obstacles between the remote control and the receiver window.

VIZIO Remote Control Precautions  
The remote control should be kept dry and away from heat sources. Avoid humidity.  
If the TV 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.

S-Video - 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.

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.  
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.

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.

VIZIO's Responsibility  
VIZIO displays purchased new from an authorized VIZIO U.S. reseller and that are used in the fifty (50)

charge. All other service is at the customer's expense. VIZIO reserves the right to charge the customer for

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
