Understanding Viewing Features

Your HDTV features four viewing modes. You can switch viewing modes using the remote control; please see instructions in page 34.

3.17.1

Viewing Modes

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.

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 4digit 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.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting

4.1

Maintenance

Important

1.

2.

Make sure that the power cable is removed from the socket before cleaning the TV.

Do not use volatile solvent (such as toluene, rosin and alcohol) to clean the TV. Such chemicals may damage the housing, screen glass and remote control, and cause paint to peel.

Cleaning the Housing and Remote Control

1.

2.

Use the VIZIO soft cloth (included) 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.

Cleaning the Screen

1.

2.

Use the VIZIO soft cotton cloth (included) to gently clean the screen.

The screen glass is very fragile. Do not scrape it with any sharp object. Do not press or tap the screen to avoid cracking. When the screen 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.

Batteries could be weak.

There appears to be image quality issues.

For best image quality, view HD wide screen programs where possible. If HD content is not available view “Standard Definition” from a digital source. Standard, analog TV will always be noticeably inferior to HD because your digital flat panel TV has video that is many times better than old TV’s and so you can see interference and deficiencies you did not know you had.

You cannot see a picture. Make sure that the power cord is plugged into a grounded electrical outlet.

Make sure that the power button is turned on.

Make sure that the selected input source is connected to a working input source.

If your TV is connected to your computer in RGB or HDMI mode, press any key on your keyboard to “wake” your computer.

Problem cover the entire screen.

Solution

Display (OSD) are set correctly.

If you are using TV, AV-C, AV-S or Component with 480i input, follow steps on page

34 on how to set the WIDE screen modes.

You can see a picture but you cannot hear sound.

Make sure that the volume is not turned down.

Make sure that the sound is not muted.

Make sure that your audio input source cables are connected securely and correctly.

The TV has pixels that are always dark or colored.

Your LCD HDTV is manufactured using an extremely high level of precision technology, however, sometimes some pixels of your LCD HDTV may not display.

Pixel defects within industry specifications are inherent to this type of product and do not constitute a defective product.

You see “noise” or “trash” on the screen.

When your LCD HDTV’s digital capabilities exceed a digital broadcast signal, the signal is up-converted (increased) to match your TV’s display capabilities. Upconverting can cause noise or trash.

You switch to a different input and the volume changes.

The TV remembers the volume level from the last time you adjusted it. If the sound level is higher or lower from another source, then the loudness will change.

You switch to a different input and the screen size changes.

The TV remembers the viewing mode from the last time you used a particular input

(AV, Component, HDMI and TV).

Tips for High-Definition Users. The LCD HDTV is an ideal platform for viewing High Definition Content.

Best Image Quality will be achieved by the HDMI Input, then YPbPr, then RGB.

However, due to variances in broadcast practices, it is possible some image distortions can occur.

Tips for Letterbox Content

Users.

Letterboxed (or “Widescreen”) versions of DVD movies are most commonly formatted for standard 4:3 Televisions. The LCD HDTV has the capability of expanding this content so the entire screen is filled at the expense of image accuracy. Follow the instructions in page 34.

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 settop 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.
