screwdriver, remove the stands from their original configuration as shown in Fig. 1, and re-attach to the
HD Sound Bar in the configuration shown in Fig. 2.
Use M5 (Metric) or #10 (English) screws for keyhole to mount.
Figure 1

Installing the Battery in the Remote Control
Turn the remote control over. Press inward to release the lock (1), and at the same time, slide the battery
holder out of the remote with your fingernail (2). Remove the protective plastic sheet by pulling straight
out from the remote.
The supplied CR2025 Lithium Button Battery should match the (+) symbol on the battery with the (+)
symbol on the battery holder. Re-insert the battery cover in the same orientation.
Precautionary Tips for Inserting the Batteries:
Only use the specified battery.
Inserting the battery incorrectly may also result in
damage to the remote control.
Dispose of the battery in accordance with local laws
and regulations.
Keep the battery 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. The effective range of
the remote control is approximately 30 feet (10 meters) from the front of the receiver window, 30°to the
left and right, 20°up and down.
VIZIO Remote Control Precautions
The remote control should be kept dry and away from heat sources. Avoid humidity.
If the HD Sound Bar responds erratically to the remote control or does not respond at all, check the
battery. If the battery is low or exhausted, replace it with a fresh battery.
When not using the remote control for a long period of time, remove the batteries.
Do not take the battery apart, heat it, or throw it 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.
Cleaning the Housing and Remote Control
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 with a dry cloth after cleaning.
Changing Volume Lock (when using a VIZIO Universal remote
with the Sound Bar)
VIZIO Universal remotes are normally set to control the volume of the TV, even when one of the other
programmable devices is selected. The remote control can be set to control the device volume, the
Sound Bar in this case, by changing the Volume Lock.
To change the volume lock:
1. Press and release the AUDIO button.
2. Press and hold the SETUP button until the LED on the remote flashes twice.
3. Press 9 9 3. The LED flashes twice.
4. Press VOL - The LED flashes four times. The Sound Bar volume will now be controlled using
VOL+/VOL- while in the AUDIO device mode, and the TV, Cable/Satellite or DVD volume when in
TV, Cable or DVD modes.

Chapter 5 Operation
Overview of SRS Audio Processing Features
SRS TruVolume™
SRS TruVolume™ is an advanced, intelligent volume control solution that delivers a remarkable TV
viewing experience by eliminating irritating fluctuations in volume all too common in today’s television
broadcasts. To ensure the technology functions properly, enable it by pressing the ‘TVOL’ button on the
remote control. Then set the volume to the desired listening level. SRS TruVolume will do the rest.
TruVolume will maintain a constant volume level regardless of the device(s) connected to the Sound Bar.
Note: SRS TruVolume does have a nominal effect on dynamic range—unperceivable to most listeners.
However, it can be disengaged for audio purists or applications where volume fluctuations are welcomed.
Version 7/16/2009

VIZIO VSB200 User Manual
SRS TruSurround HD™
SRS TruSurround HD™ is the latest generation from the TruSurround® family. TruSurround was
invented to ensure all listeners would be able to experience “surround sound.” SRS TruSurround HD
builds upon its patented predecessor by providing clear dialog, crisp highs and explosive lows. Since
many of today’s broadcasts are encoded in 5.1 surround sound, TruSurround HD enables listeners to
experience up to 5.1 channels of audio over 2 channels or in this case 2.1 channels (with sub-woofer
attached). Simply engage the technology by pressing the ‘TSHD’ button on the remote and TruSurround
HD will provide a realistic, immersive surround sound experience. No need to purchase extra speakers or
run wires around the home. By merely connecting the Sound Bar to the chosen audio source via
composite cables or a digital TOSlink® cable allows the listener to experience sound as it was meant to
be heard.

Audio Adjustments
Input - Pressing this button on the Remote Control or on the Sound Bar will sequence the input
selection through Analog1, Analog 2 and Optical.
Vol+ – Pressing this button on the Remote Control or on the Sound Bar will increase the volume level.
Hold for one-half second to continuously increase volume
Vol - – Pressing this button on the Remote Control or on the Sound Bar will decrease the volume level.
Hold for one-half second to continuously decrease volume
Mute – Pressing this button on the Remote Control or on the Sound Bar will either mute or un-mute the
Sound Bar.
TVOL – When the programming switches to a commercial or when changing from channel to channel,
volume fluctuations occur. This SRS TruVolumeTM provides the listener with a comfortable and
consistent volume level.
Pressing this button on the Remote Control or on the Sound Bar will set the HD Sound Bar
to have control over the level of the audio output, preventing commercials on regular
programming to become louder than the volume of the program being viewed. Pressing this
button will toggle SRS TruVolume ON and OFF.
TSHD – Pressing this button on the Remote Control or on the Sound Bar will toggle SRS TruSurround
HD ON and OFF.
Chapter 6 Error Detection / Corrective Action
If an unsupported rate or sample depth is detected (via the Optical Input), or an overcurrent or thermal
shutdown occurs, the LED’s flash certain error codes. An important example that if an AC3 (not PCM)
input stream(from a DVD player in this instance) is sent to the Optical input, the HD Sound Bar will mute
the audio output and flash the error pattern associated with this on the LED’s.
For the error codes, the information is relative to the position in the volume bar section of the display.
(LED positions as viewed from the front):
A
B
C
D
E
F
G
The following is a description of the LED error codes:
A = SPDIF compressed format detected.
B = SPDIF rate unsupported.
C = Overcurrent error occurred.
D = Thermal shutdown occurred.
The other indicators are not currently used for error indication. When an error occurs, the volume strip
goes on solid except that the active error condition is flashing.
Corrective Action
- If Error A, SPDIF compressed format detected error occurs, configure the DVD player (or audio source
device) audio output format setting to PCM or PCM stream. Otherwise, use the Analog RCA inputs from
the audio source to the Sound Bar without configuration of the audio source device.
Version 7/16/2009
21
VIZIO VSB200 User Manual
- If Error B, an unsupported sample rate is detected on the Optical (SPDIF) input, configure the ‘audio
sample rate of the audio source device to be either 44.1 KHz or preferably 48KHz.
- If Error C, Over-current detection is indicated, reduce the volume setting of the Sound Bar and
Subwoofer temporarily, and turn the unit off for a short period and back on to reset the circuitry. If this
indication continues to occur, then reduce the volume level for the particular source content being played.
- If Error D, Thermal shutdown, is indicated, turn off the Sound Bar and verify the ventilation slots in the
Sound Bar are clear, the Sound Bar has proper ventilation and is not being operated in an environment
that is too hot. If these conditions exist, reduce the volume level for the particular source content being
played.
- An error condition that is not detected or indicated by the LED error indications is distortion of audio.
The Sound Bar is designed for standard line-in level input signals which are a MAXIMUM 2 Volt RMS.
The Sound Bar is not intended to be connected to the output of an amplified audio source such as a
Home Theater speaker output or MP3 Player headphone jack. Doing so may damage the Sound Bar.

Maintenance
Important
1.
2.
Make sure that the power cables are removed from their sockets before cleaning the Sound
